There are two different types of Mediterranean cruises you can take. If you choose to go to the eastern Mediterranean, you will go to the eastern side of Italy, Greece, and Turkey. The western Mediterranean cruise includes the southern coast of France, Spain and Italy. Whether it's seeing the majestic mountains of Athens or riding a gondola on the Grand Canal in Venice, each Mediterranean cruise offers many great cities to visit.
If you choose a western Mediterranean cruise you can visit places like Barcelona, the French Riviera, Italy and Tunisia. The eastern Mediterranean cruise will take you to places like Venice, Athens, Istanbul, and the Greek Islands. Whichever cruise you decide to take you will experience a world of different cultures, learn about the different religions of the region and taste exotic foods from different countries, all while seeing amazing sites.
What to do on board?
The cruise ship offers many enjoyable things to do as well. They offer a variety of food and dining from casual to formal. They have everyday food like pizza and burgers to Mediterranean foods to choose from. Most cruise ships have a casino and more than one bar or lounge as well. Normally there are one or more swimming pools and sometimes miniature golf. There are spas for massages and salons for manicures. The rooms are set up like most hotels, with access to the internet and a television to watch in your room. So while you're on board, in between visits off the ship, you will be able to relax and enjoy the comfort of the ship and your room.
The price of either cruise, whether eastern or western Mediterranean, will all depend on the cruise line, airfare, gratuities , and also how many days you choose to book your cruise for. The deals usually range from 1-2 nights up to two weeks. You can also plan your cruise any time of the year. Planning it in the off season will probably get you a better deal. It is best to shop around and check on available packages, what they include and how long are they for. You can research online or call a travel agent directly to help book your cruise
