Cruise and stay holidays in the Mediterranean are rising in popularity. This is the ideal way to spend a long, lazy cruise in the clear blue oceans of the Mediterranean. Unpack your luggage and you’re done! Kick back, relax, enjoy top-notch service and be pampered morning, noon and night.
The ship will stop at a number of places during the cruise. This will give you the opportunity to disembark and experience different cultures and see interesting attractions. Visit splendid cathedrals, galleries and museums, and browse through the shops. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant and taste authentic food.
At the end of a tiring day, you can return to the ship, have a hot bath or shower, then enjoy the ship’s many facilities. May to October are the months that most cruises operate because the weather is fine. Not so with Mediterranean cruises – these operate throughout the entire year.
Due to this, a lot of people prefer to book their cruises in the off-season periods. During these times, prices are generally cheaper. This also means that there are fewer holidaymakers which make sight-seeing experiences much nicer.
One of the most appealing stop-overs is the Port of Mahon, the capital of Minorca. This natural harbor has miles of glorious beaches. The port is also home to hundreds of enormous luxury yachts. There’s plenty to see and do in Minorca and many of the popular attractions show the island’s strong British heritage.
The other stop-overs are dependent on the different operators that specialize in cruise and stay holidays in the Mediterranean. Most include stops in Turkey, France, Spain, Italy and Croatia, while others also stop in Paris, Greece and London. There are many options to choose from and you can get all the details online. Be sure to check if there are off-season discounts.
