Find your perfect cruise

As we explained, there are a large number of issues to take into account when choosing a cruise. Now, perhaps one of the most important aspects when choosing the best Mediterranean cruises is the choice of the itinerary. If it is the first time that you organize a Mediterranean cruise vacation, you must take into account some destinations that cannot be missed in any case. These destinations are as follows:

Civitavecchia (Rome): This city is located just 70 kilometers from the capital of Rome. In general, most shipping companies stop at this starting point to offer tourists the chance to get to know both the coastal city and the capital by transferring by bus or from the train station itself (only about 10 minutes walk from the port).

Palermo (Italy): Palermo is a city of great cultural and historical interest. In this town you can visit the cathedral, as well as the different markets, the different squares —such as Plaza Caracciolo, where you can dine on delicious fried fish— and many other places. Remember that Palermo is considered the European capital of street food, so you won't be short of places to eat.

The Greek islands: In general, both the Greek islands of Mykonos and Santorini are usually visited on longer cruises, since they are located at the other end of the Mediterranean, in the Eastern Mediterranean. These are unique destinations, with beautiful beaches and exceptional nature. Dubronovik (Croatia): It is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world, nicknamed "The Pearl of the Adriatic". The historic center of this city was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. In addition, this city has been the setting for the filming of films and series such as Star Wars and Game of Thrones. Majorca (Spain): Of course, the largest island in the Balearic archipelago cannot be left out. This Spanish island stands out for its beautiful landscapes, its crystal clear waters, its excellent viewpoints and its strong culture.

Other destinations that should include the best Mediterranean cruises are: Ibiza (Spain), Marseille (France), Genoa (Italy), Livorno (Italy) and La Goulette (Tunisia).

There are many issues to consider when choosing the best Mediterranean cruises. First of all, we must be clear about what type of cruise we are looking for. You should bear in mind that depending on your travel idea, you can find a more or less appropriate type of cruise, for example, we can find family cruises recommended for families with children, cruises for singles for people who want to meet love on board, romantic cruises or cruises for couples, which include a complete catalog of activities and romantic restaurants, breakfast in bed…, cruises for groups of friends in which fun and nights of celebrations and events and tourist cruises with very complete itineraries and for a more global public.

The price, on the other hand, is also very important. Since, depending on the budget, we can opt for one cruise or another, with certain services or not. For example, all-inclusive cruises in which case, the price of the ticket includes the consumption of drinks, access to exclusive services…and, last but not least the itinerary and duration of the journey.

-About clothing, we recommend you to bring two swimsuits or more if you wish. Since there are many opportunities to enjoy the water both on land and on board, and often depending on the weather or the opportunities to do laundry, they cannot always be on our side. It is also good to mention that cruise ships usually have a Gala Night, and it requires being a little more formal. By this we do not mean that you have to wear a suit and wear a bow tie. With a shirt and pants or a polo you will be fine.

- Place labels with your names on the suitcases. We know that this is done at airports by the company and that we also know what our bags look like. But on a cruise you are going to dispatch them and the crew will take care of leaving it at the door of your cabins. Until this happens, it may take a few hours. That is why we recommend that you carry a backpack with what you need for the first few hours: Medications, sunscreen, glasses, a book, swimsuits, whatever you consider necessary.

-Download the maps of the cities you are going to visit, on your mobile. This is for the case in which you do not have data or roaming service. Today technology is on our side in every way and if we anticipate you, you will no longer need paper maps.
