Cruise Holidays in the Mediterranean
Cruising the Mediterranean means getting to see a wide variety of cultures. You can explore ancient ruins, view magnificent works of art, savour the wonderfully varied cuisine on offer, and take in peaceful village life, as well as the hustle and bustle of modern cities.
The Brand Royal Caribbean Cruises provide a wide range of cruises around the Mediterranean. They have seven great cruise ships who between them offer all their guests the luxury you’d expect from a cruise ship, and some very innovative features. Cruise ships offer different facilities, but some that can be found on the Royal Caribbean Cruise ships which you might not expect are climbing walls, ice rinks and miniature golf courses, solariums, fitness centre, theatre and casinos.
Mediterranean Cruises
There are over 120 different cruises to the Mediterranean offered by Royal Caribbean aboard its seven great ships. For example, sailing with ‘Adventure Of The Seas’ offers a 7 night cruise around the western Mediterranean departing from Malaga, Spain, and calling at Cagliari (Sardinia) and Civitavecchia (Rome) in Italy, Ajaccio in Corsica, Palma de Mallorca in Spain, and back to Malaga once more.
Splendour of the Seas
If you sailed with the ‘Splendour Of The Seas’ you might enjoy a trip around the Greek Isles starting in Venice, and then visiting Split, Croatia; Corfu, Greece; Piraeus (Athens), Greece; Mykonos, Greece; Katakolon, Greece; and returning to Venice.
If you didn’t want to travel from the UK by another mode of transport first, you could opt for a trip that begins in Southampton, such as those with the ‘Independence Of The Seas’. These trips out from Southampton into the Mediterranean vary from 10 nights up to 18 nights, and take a variety of different routes. Some take you to the Canary Islands and Spain for a 10 night round trip, while others take you on wider routes where you get to see places like Gibraltar, Corsica, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Tenerife and Gran Canaria.
Independence of the Seas
The ultimate Mediterranean Holiday is on the cruise liner the ‘Independence Of The Seas’ with their 18 night round trip where you get to visit 11 cities in 5 countries
The ultimate Mediterranean Holiday cruise with the ‘Independence Of The Seas’ is their 18 night round trip where you get to visit 11 cities in 5 countries. Beginning from Southampton in England, you sail out to Lisbon in Portugal, on to Palma de Mallorca which is part of Spain, on again in Spain to Barcelona, then it’s Italy with Florence or Pisa, Rome, Naples, Capri and Cagliari. Then Gibraltar which is part of the United Kingdom, back to Spain, this time to Cadiz, and then home to Southampton once more. A trip like this gives you a chance to experience just how different places within the same country can be, and with many excursions onto land, returning to your floating accommodation each night, and plenty of time on the open water as well, the only thing you might find yourself wishing for is that the trip was longer so you could fit even more in.
