Your first cruise: the Mediterranean

One of the most important aspects of a first cruise in the Mediterranean is how and which shipping company to book. Therefore, it is recommended to go to a travel agency. It is true that you can book a cruise on your own, although we do not recommend it since doing it with a cruise expert will help you choose your cruise at the best price, the ideal itinerary and many more aspects. In addition to giving you 100% personal advice, you will avoid inconveniences that may arise before or during the trip.

Another important aspect when booking a cruise is how far in advance to make the reservation. We always recommend booking in advance because, you ensure the best cabins and you can take advantage of the occasional special promotion that appears throughout the year.

There is no doubt that preparing documents well and storing them with good caution during the journey is relevant. In the same way, have travel insurance at hand, for any eventuality.

Luggage is a fundamental point. All outfits must be designed according to the time of travel, whether it is winter or summer. Sailing in December is not the same as in August, so if you decide to embark in December remember to bring a jacket. Do not forget to bring a swimsuit, even if it is January, then the cruises have a heated pool, spa and indoor Jacuzzi. In addition, your luggage should include a formal suit for gala nights, events or dinners. Sportswear and sunglasses.

Normally when booking a cruise the price includes accommodation, meals and shows on board. However, it is convenient to remember some expenses that we must add to the budget depending on the shipping company that is chosen, such as travel insurance or boarding fees, if you decide to make your reservation with a specialized cruise agency, your advisor will inform you of the best option to save on your vacation. Each ship is a world!
