Enjoy A Cruise And Stay Vacation In The Mediterranean

By Thomson Day


The popularity of cruise and stay holidays in the Mediterranean is growing. Once you board the ship, you can check into your cabin, unpack your luggage and, that's it - you're all done! Now you can kick back and enjoy a cruise holiday of a lifetime, sailing through the beautiful waters of the Mediterranean.

There is no doubt that this is the ultimate way to enjoy a holiday. You can get to see all the interesting places and experience various cultures without having to unpack at each destination. Simply get off the ship when it docks at each port of call and explore the local attractions.

At the end of a tiring day, you can return to the ship, have a hot bath or shower, then enjoy the ship's many facilities. May to October are the months that most cruises operate because the weather is fine. Not so with Mediterranean cruises - these operate throughout the entire year.

Because of this, many people choose the off-season periods to enjoy a cruise. This is a good choice because during off-peak times, prices are usually cheaper. Another benefit is being able to see all the attractions without being jostled by large crowds everywhere.

The capital of Minorca is the Port of Mahon. This is always a favorite stop-over for visitors. It's a natural harbor that features miles of beautiful beaches. Hundreds of splendid yachts are moored at the port. Although this island is peaceful and tranquil, there is plenty to see and do. Many of the historical attractions show Minorca's strong links to Britain.

The other stop-overs are dependent on the different operators that specialize in cruise and stay holidays in the Mediterranean. Most include stops in Turkey, France, Spain, Italy and Croatia, while others also stop in Paris, Greece and London. There are many options to choose from and you can get all the details online. Be sure to check if there are off-season discounts.
