Cruise and stay holidays in the Mediterranean offer the ultimate holiday. Once you’ve unpacked your baggage, you’re all set to do nothing but have a good time! Enjoy top quality on-board service as you sail through the sparkling 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.

When you’re done, hop back onto the ship and enjoy some pampering after a tiring day of sight-seeing. Most holiday cruises are at their peak during the months from May to October when the weather is good. This is not the case with Mediterranean cruises - they run all year round.

This affords people the opportunity to take a Mediterranean cruise in the off-season holiday periods. Prices are often cheaper at these times and many cruise operators offer discount packages. With fewer people, you will be able to enjoy sight-seeing a lot more.

One of the most appealing stop-overs is the Port of Mahon, the capital of Minorca. This natural harbor has miles of glorious beaches. The port is also home to hundreds of enormous luxury yachts. There’s plenty to see and do in Minorca and many of the popular attractions show the island’s strong British heritage.

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.
