Mediterranean cruise itineraries
Mediterranean cruise options are extremely varied. Cruise lines cover all Mediterranean countries. On a cruise on a Mediterranean liner, you will visit port cities such as Valletta, Cagliari, Catacolo, Cannes, Nice, Savona, Palermo, Split, Trieste, Civitavecchia (Rome), Athens, Lisbon, Marseille, Malaga and others. Most popular among tourists on a Mediterranean cruise are sea voyages from Rome or Barcelona. The advantages of a sea cruise over tourist trip overland are obvious. Being on a modern luxury liner, you meet every new day in new country or city. Another important advantage is the fact that it is much easier to get to some places from the sea than to get there by a tourist bus or other means of transport. Tour operators, along with cruise lines, regularly arrange seasonal discounts, make special offers and offer really cheap Mediterranean cruises. At the same time, "cheap", of course, does not imply an average level of service. The quality naturally remains at its best. Travelers can only carefully monitor the cost on the websites of tour operators or cruise companies.
As for the duration of the cruise, the choice of the tourist is offered a great variety of options - from mini-cruises in the Mediterranean only, to long round-the-world, starting and ending in the same Mediterranean city. Prices for Mediterranean cruises in 2018 and 2019 vary depending on the travel date and purchase (the most beneficial is early booking). The price also depends on the class of the liner, the category of the cabin and the duration of the trip.
One of the most popular options is the Mediterranean cruise from Barcelona, and routes from Genoa and Savona are also very popular. Almost all Mediterranean ports, where cruise lines of the Royal Caribbean Int., Costa Cruises, MSC Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, Celestyal Cruises, Disney Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises and others call in, deserve attention. Due to the fact that the ports are in close proximity to the cities of the Mediterranean, this allows you to significantly expand the geography of your sea voyage. From the port of Civitavecchia you can easily get to Rome, from the port of Piraeus to Athens, from the port of Livorno to Florence and Pisa, and from the port of Malaga to Granada and Seville. This makes the sea cruise even more preferred type of travel. So you have the opportunity to visit National park Cinque Terre, included in the UNESCO list. It is located near the Italian port city of La Spezia. The island-reserve of Menorca, strewn with white beaches, is also protected by UNESCO. And not far from the port of Naples is the famous city of Pompeii - a real museum under open air, where the monuments of ancient Roman architecture have survived to this day in excellent condition. Pompeii was damaged by the eruption of Vesuvius and as a result was covered with a layer of ash and pumice. That is why, when excavations began, archaeologists began to find well-preserved structures and buildings. And these are just a few examples of what the Mediterranean region has to offer for lovers of educational excursions.

The climate of the region is characterized by warm winters and hot, dry summers. It is very beneficial for the body due to low humidity in summer and rather warm, humid winter. You can go on a Mediterranean cruise in absolutely any season, be it autumn, winter, spring or summer. However, if you want to sunbathe on the beach, it is better to choose the period from May to September. Then you will fully experience all that for which the resorts and beaches of the Mediterranean coast are so loved. In addition, you will receive economic benefits, since it is during this period that cruise companies offer the most affordable tours. Thus, it is the period from May to September that can be considered the most optimal for relaxing on the beach, enjoying the sea and the sun.
If you want to get to know the sights of the Mediterranean cities, you should go on a Mediterranean cruise in the Velvet season: October, November or spring. You will not experience discomfort due to the heat, there will be much fewer tourists and, as a result, cruise prices will be lower. So an autumn voyage in the Mediterranean is a great choice for those who want to get acquainted with the culture and extend the summer. In addition, prices for Mediterranean cruises are always lower in autumn than in summer.
No less interesting is the opportunity to take a cruise in the Mediterranean Sea on New Year or Christmas. During this period, the cost of a cruise on a liner in the Mediterranean Sea is also less than in summer, and the weather is quite conducive to getting to know the sights of the cities.
