Cruise – Experience the Mediterranean from the Water

January 15, 2015 by Rosemary

Water used to be our highways!

Before there were highways and cars, there was the water as our major way of getting from A to B. So joining a cruise is a 21st Century way of experiencing the sea as our highway.

Whenever I travel I love to get out on the water, and see a place from that perspective – usually a ferry does the job.

But the idea of joining one of the hundreds of cruise ships is compelling – traveling in comfort from one port to another. Waking in a new country with a new vista.

Personally I enjoy combining an organised trip, like a cruise with an extended stay in the starting country afterwards. I get the best of both worlds – a well organised guided trip, and then hire a car and explore more by myself in a more serendipity way.

I have been looking at the Thomson Web Cruise website – most of their Mediterranean Trips leave from the Island of Majorca – I am tempted by the Moorish Delights or the Mediterranean Adventure – both 7 night cruises.

To further the water experience, I would opt for getting to Majorca via a Ferry – my choice is from Barcelona, as I am planning to spend some time there and in the South of France.

I also think it is worth spending a few nights in Majorca before hand, and I noticed on the Women Travel website a listing for a women only B&B in Ibiza on one of the nearby Islands.

So that is me sorted – A few days in fabulous Barcelona, a ferry ride from Barcelona to Majorca, a 7 day Cruise, A ferry to Ibiza for 3 days, and home to London.
