Lebanon’s first scheduled ferry connection in decades is expected to launch on 9 June 2026, creating a new sea link between the country and Cyprus, with routes also extending to Syria and Turkey.
The service will be operated by Lebanese shipping company Abou Merhi Agency through Cedar Waves and will connect the port of Jounieh with Larnaca in under four hours, significantly faster than initial estimates.
The Cedar Waves vessel will be the first to run regular international passenger services from Lebanon in decades, marking an important development for transport and tourism in the Eastern Mediterranean.
