Numerous options are available, allowing you to find the cruise that suits you. You can find cruises of varying lengths (from 6 to 8 days) and at very different prices (from USD1,200 to USD8,300 for two people).
What types of boats are available for a Mediterranean cruise?
Depending on the region in which you wish to sail in the Mediterranean and your personal preferences, you have the choice between several types of boats. You can opt for a catamaran, a sailboat, a traditional ship or even a yacht, each offering a unique cruise experience tailored to your expectations. You will embark on a few days' experience where you will live on board a comfortable and luxurious living space while sailing at sea.
