With year round cruises and some of the world's best cruise destinations the Mediterranean is good to visit at any time
Massive Savings on Med Cruises which operate year round with a noticeable increase of ships and cruise lines during the summer months from May to October.
There are many departure ports to choose from but the most popular gateways for Kiwis are Barcelona, Rome, Athens, Venice and Monte Carlo.
All the major cruise lines offer cruises in the Med and you really can't go wrong with any combination or itinerary. Early Bird offers are out now which offer great savings and bonus inclusions.
Remember during the peak of summer the destinations you visit will be busier, so it is always best to pre-book your shore excursions so you don't miss out on visiting the places high on your wish list.
Personally, we love cruising the Med in late September, early October, after the crowds have gone and the weather is a bit cooler for all that sightseeing.
