If you are a landlubber but want to experience the life of Nemo, you have several interesting options available for you in the spring/summer of 2015. Costa Cruises in association with dnata in Dubai are offering several cruise packages which can get you to experience life at sea with plenty of “land ho” opportunities.
You start your journey by flying to Barcelona. You spend two days taking in the sights of this Spanish city or just watch people go by at Las Ramblas. You then board a massive cruise ship – which has its own swimming pool and cinema – and travel to Naples. You spend the day in the city famous for inventing pizza and then go back to your floating castle. A few more days at sea and a few more port calls, your cruiseliner reaches the French Riviera city of Marseille. This is your last port of call before you head back to Barcelona and your flight home.
Prices start from around Dh11,000 per person inclusive of two nights’ hotel stay and 7 nights fullboard stay on the cruiseliner. Flights to Barcelona and back are also included. Several other Mediterranean cruises are available.
