Mediterranean Cruise-2024

[cnazario12]

My husband and I plan to celebrate our 30th anniversary by taking a Mediterranean cruise. We are looking for a 14 -21 day cruise with multiple ports. I’ve never taken a cruise before and don’t know where to start. Any tips? We’d also like to pay on it so when the time comes we are done. Thank you

Might want to talk to a travel agent, celebrity has cruises that includes tip , liquor, tax etc . We did a 12 day cruise out of Barcelona with 5 stops in Italy and several other countries. Barcelona is a great port to start or end your cruise , most Mediterranean cruises are very port intensive with very few sea days , our cruise was on rccl . I would definitely spend a couple of nights in Barcelona if that’s you embark. Celebrity and rccl can plan your round trip airfare also . Good luck.

Hello cnazario12! This is a very difficult question to answer as everyone's requirements are different. If you are from the US you might prefer to sail with a US line like Royal Caribbean or Princess. I personally prefer smaller ships as they are able to access smaller ports - Fred Olsen's ships are approx 1200. P&O Cruises have some nice itineraries (mostly English guests). You could also try MSC (Italian) which are pretty good too. If you really want a super luxury experience I would look at Emerald cruises. Perhaps a good place to start is with a travel agent - someone like Iglucruise are good and they sell cruises with all the major cruise lines.
