Cruises offer the chance to visit top destinations
By CruiseDirector | March 5, 2010
Cruise holidays offer incredible choice when it comes to the destinations available. With over two thirds of the world covered by water, this is not surprising. The versatility and variety offered by cruises means that travellers of all persuasions will be able to find something that appeals.
Mediterranean – West
Cruising the Western Mediterranean can be a popular and affordable way to enjoy some of the most famous places in Europe, such as Rome, Florence and Barcelona. These cruises typically visit ports of call throughout Spain, France and Italy. There are plenty of other options, of course, depending on the itinerary you choose, whether you fancy a visit to Portugal, Malta or perhaps Croatia. Many of these cruises sail throughout the year — with some ships skipping cooler locales in France or Italy and including stops in the Canary Islands and Morocco during the winter months.
Mediterranean – East
To fully experience the delights and mysteries of destinations such as Greece, Turkey and Black Sea stops such as Croatia, an Eastern Med cruise is the answer. Holidaymakers will enjoy a good mix of fun in the sun and beach activities alongside the ancient history and cultural opportunities afforded by the various destinations. The majority of Eastern Mediterranean cruises take place from spring through to autumn to take advantage of the best weather.
Baltic Region and Northern Europe
Travellers cruising in this part of the world can enjoy a good range of cultures and beautiful scenery. While the Baltic region is sometimes hard to define, cruises in this area will usually cover cities such as Oslo, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Stockholm, St. Petersburg and Tallinn. Cruises that focus on the Norwegian fjords often stop at Bergen, Stavanger, Alesund, Flam and Tromso. And for a chilly but inspiring trip, you can head even further north with the cruises available around the artic and Greenland.
Transatlantic
For those who want to enjoy a leisurely trip to Florida or New York a transatlantic voyage on a luxurious cruise ship is the ultimate experience. With the journey often taking around 1 to 2 weeks with minimal stops this experience is ideal for those who want time to just relax and get away from it all. With more time spent on the ship itself, the activities available on a transatlantic cruise ship are extensive, offering everything from cinemas and planetariums, to spas, gyms and of course plenty of shops, bars and clubs.
