Cruise Holidays: Discover a different side of the Med
As any cruise enthusiast will tell you, exploring new destinations is one of the best things about a cruise holiday and regardless of how many times you have visited a specific location, it will always be a different experience when you arrive on a cruise ship.
Whether you opt for all-out luxury or choose bargain last minute cruises, there are many different ways to explore the Mediterranean. Glide into each new port and arrive cool and unflustered – minus the usual stress of hiring a car or worrying about missing the bus. You’ll often get a full day to explore each port along with the chance to join organised tours of the local sights, so do your homework and book in advance if you want to secure a spot.
From Barcelona to Palma, Gibraltar to Cannes, there is a fantastic list of destinations on offer but that doesn’t mean you have to see them all. Instead, you could choose to stay onboard and enjoy a few hours’ peace on the quiet deck, have the pool to yourself, or simply sip a refreshing cocktail while gazing out over the latest cityscape. The choice is yours.
Furthermore, cruise holidays don’t have to come with the luxury price tag. Mediterranean cruise offers are widely available and range from a few short nights to longer itineraries of a fortnight or more. You could snap up a late deal and enjoy huge savings on the original cost of the holiday, or book well ahead and take advantage of numerous early booking deals, along with the chance to spread the cost of your holiday over several months or more.
Whatever you want from your Mediterranean cruise holiday and however you plan to book it, you’ll certainly discover a different side to this sun-soaked destination. Just be warned – you may end up coming back for more.
