Summer 2026 travel plans just got a little more interesting for Lebanon residents. This June, you’ll have a new way to visit Cyprus, Syria, and Turkey without stepping on a plane.

Starting June 9, Cedar Waves launches Lebanon’s scheduled ferry service, connecting Jounieh with all three destinations. And bookings are already open.

Every ticket category includes one cabin bag up to 10kg, one small personal item, and one checked bag up to 30kg. That should leave enough room for all holiday outfits and the souvenirs that somehow always find their way into the suitcase.

Lebanon to Cyprus Ferry: Schedule and Price

A flight between Lebanon and Cyprus takes around 30 minutes, plus the usual time spent at the airport before departure. The ferry offers a 4-hour journey across the Mediterranean.

Here’s the schedule of Lebanon to Cyprus ferry for 2026:

June and October: 3 trips per week (Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday)
July to September: 4 trips per week (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday)

Please note: Lebanese passport holders need a valid Schengen visa to enter Cyprus.

Lebanon to Turkey Ferry: Summer Schedule

The journey between Jounieh and Mersin takes 5.5 hours.

June and October: 4 trips per week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday)
July to September: 3 trips per week (Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday)

Lebanon to Syria Ferry: Schedule for Summer 2026

The journey between Jounieh and Latakia takes 3 hours.
