Mediterranean Cruises
The Mediterranean is the most popular cruise destination for British passengers seeking a great holiday with guaranteed good weather. And one of reasons Mediterranean cruising is by far the most attractive for the British is that passengers from the UK can conveniently sail straight from the UK or take fly-cruises via ports such as Palma, Crete, Barcelona and Civitavecchia (the port of Rome).
Mediterranean cruising accounts for nearly four out of ten UK cruise passengers, with even more expected as cruise lines use more and more ships due to the diverse cultural appeal of the Mediterranean.
Another great bonus of a Mediterranean cruise is not just the number of cruises on offer, but the sheer variety of cruise lines, ships and itineraries available for holiday makers and the proximity of the UK to some of the world's most wonderful tourist sites. Whether you want to sail on a small and intimate cruiser or a megaship with every attraction on tap, all this is readily available if you choose a Mediterranean cruise.
Western Mediterranean cruises from Spain or Italy allow passengers to explore Africa, while Eastern Mediterranean cruises provide the opportunity to visit Greece and the Greek islands, Turkey, Croatia and even places as far away Egypt.
Whether its checking out beach life on the holiday islands of Majorca, Menorca, Crete, Corsica, Malta and Sardinia that you are after or mingling with the rich and famous in Monte Carlo, Nice, St Tropez, Villefranche and Portofino, or absorbing the culture in ancient cities like Venice, Rome and Florence it's never been easier to do so on one of the fantastic Mediterranean cruises now available.
Many Mediterranean cruises visit a different port each day and offer day trips to places such as Pisa, Florence and Ephesus. So it is good idea when you are Mediterranean cruising to plan the number of shore excursions you would like.
If you decide to cruise the Mediterranean, it provides a great opportunity to stay overnight in such great cities as Venice and Istanbul, enabling you to really soak up the local atmosphere.
Seven and 14-night cruises are most popular in the Mediterranean cruising, although shorter taster cruises are also on offer such as from Barcelona. And if you want to escape the cold UK winter, it's always possible to cruise the Mediterranean during the winter as most cruise lines offer voyages all year round.
