Country Vacations & Resorts

Athens? Barcelona? Monte Carlo? Rome?

What better way is there to sample the history of these scenic and exciting cities than aboard Mediterranean Cruises ? Wake up in a new world each morning and take advantage of the all-inclusive and relaxed comfort of these floating resorts.

For the best possible cruise experience, planning is essential. Think about the time of year you wish to travel. The prime season for Mediterranean cruises is from April through October. Cruises in December may be less crowded and/or less expensive, but you may pay for it with choppy seas, less predictable weather, and motion sickness.

Other considerations are your budget – in both time and dollars. How much or how little you have of either must be factored in when making your cruise choices. Also, investigate points of departure, itinerary, and even the size of your prospective vessel. Remember, a smaller, more exclusive ship may be less stable in ocean waters.

Consider too, the authenticity of a cruise line – and each individual vessel. Do you want American food on a ship where everyone speaks English? Then maybe a Carnival cruise is for you. Prefer a cruise with an Italian flavor in both cruise, culture, cuisine, and ship personnel? Maybe the MSC Cruises’ elegant and exclusive “Fantasia” will be right for you.

Options are wide open for a peaceful, scenic, and relaxing cruise – plan carefully and you will have one of your best vacation experiences.
