Earthquakes in Türkiye that were centered on Kahramanmaraş caused many people to lose their homes, and assistance is still being provided for those who were affected. The cruise ship was brought to Iskenderun Port by the General Directorate of Maritime Affairs, a department of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, in order to provide accommodation for Hatay earthquake victims. As of today, the cruise ship, which has a 2,000-passenger capacity, has begun to accommodate earthquake victims.
