You want to travel to the Mediterranean, but it is spoiled with choices… Where will you go? You love history, culture, good food, beautiful views and all that finished off with a touch of luxury. Then a cruise with Holland America Line might be the right choice, in which you discover several destinations during one vacation.
A cruise can be seen as an all-inclusive package with transportation, hotel, activities and gastronomy. While you sleep, the “floating hotel” sails to the next port. Waking up each morning on a different destination and often in a different country is not only exciting but also special. What will the next port look like when you get up in the morning? Because the “hotel” travels with you, you also only have to unpack your suitcase once. Other than that, you are at ease for the entire trip. And for the price you don’t have to leave it either, because just about everything is included.
Therefore a Mediterranean cruise will allow you to visit multiple destinations this way you get to know diverse landscapes, cultures and gastronomy. Once docked in a new port, you can explore on your own or opt for a guided excursion.
If you go for a slightly longer cruise, you will also have plenty of time to enjoy the luxurious ship. There is always something to do: from workshops to concerts, from sports, spa and wellness to dancing and enjoying live music. A quick haircut or a wine tasting? It’s also among the possibilities.
The comfort lies precisely in the no-obligation offer. Nothing is required. Would you like to enjoy a book from the onboard library in peace and quiet on the deck? Would you rather sit on the balcony of your own room enjoying your lunch, delivered by room service, overlooking the sea? Anything goes.
Picture this. You choose a two-week cruise and you visit Greece, Turkey, Albania and Croatia. Then places like the Greek islands, Ephesus, Istanbul, Sarandë and Dubrovnik might pass by. If you choose Italy, France, Spain, Malta and Tunisia, then you may tick Livorno (Pisa/Firenze), Barcelona, Cagliari, Valetta and La Goulette (Tunis) off your bucket list. And the destination you liked best may be the one you return to for a few days later. Already dreaming? Understandably so. Cruising, that’s the ultimate in a stress-free vacation with a mix of only fun things to do. And one last big advantage: you don’t have to plan or figure anything out yourself if you don’t feel like it. But you do have to book that cruise, of course! What are you waiting for?
