Cheap Mediterranean Cruises: Which Cruise Lines Offer Them?
As a follow-up to our piece about cheap Mediterranean cruises – or “cheap Med cruises,” for those who can’t be bothered to utter a few more syllables – we decided to delve into one specific component of these coveted vacations. (Who doesn’t want to take a cruise to the Mediterranean for cheap?) In particular, we are looking at the cruise lines that offer cheap Mediterranean cruises, informing you if your favorite cruise line (or at least a cruise line you want to travel with) offers these discounted voyages.

Cheap Mediterranean Cruises (Med Cruises)
A Mediterranean cruise is a cruise that takes place in the Mediterranean Sea, or at least a major part of the cruise takes place in this body of water, which is surrounded by Europe, Africa, and the Levant (Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, Israel, and Cyprus, as well as some of southern Turkey) making it almost entirely landlocked. A cheap Mediterranean cruise, the subject of this article, is therefore self-explanatory: it is merely a discounted cruise that sails in the Mediterranean Sea. Mediterranean cruises are extremely popular because the Mediterranean is such an attractive place to cruise (just like, say, the Caribbean). They are so popular, in fact, that there is an abbreviation for them – Med cruises – that is commonly used and understood, and because they are so popular, it should come as no surprise that people are after cheap Mediterranean cruises (or “cheap Med cruises,” to keep with industry parlance). To this topic we now turn our attention. Read more […] -
Group Cruise Packages
As long as people are interested in taking cruises, they will be interested in taking cheap cruises. Cruise deals are heavily pursued, and it is one of the topics on which we regularly write. However, we have not dedicated much space to group cruise packages – that is, the deals you may be able to get for booking a cruise vacation as a group – or in any case we have not treated group cruise packages as a standalone category (they tend to come up in connection to the broader question of how to find cheap cruises). So, what exactly is a group cruise package, and how might you go about getting such a package? Read more […] -
How to Book a Last-Minute Cruise
As a recent series of articles about last-minute cruises shows, we are keen to explain all the details of this type of cruise vacation to our readers. We’ve explored who can take a last-minute cruise and who cannot take a last-minute cruise, and more generally we’ve written an introduction to last-minute cruises. These articles make it clear that while last-minute cruises are an excellent vacation option to consider if you want to keep costs down, there are a number of practical limitations that preclude some from taking them. But suppose you are one of the people who can seize these great deals. The question of course becomes: how do you actually go about booking a last-minute cruise? Read more […] -
How to Find Disney Cruise Line Specials
When financially conscious people are considering taking a cruise with the Disney Cruise Line, one of their first thoughts is, “what is the lowest possible price I can pay for this cruise?” In other words, they are looking for Disney Cruise Line specials, the subject of a recent investigation of ours. In this previous article, we explained what a Disney Cruise Line special is by exploring a few different deals the company offers. However, we did not cover exactly how you might go about securing one of these deals. The present article fills this hole, explaining how to find Disney Cruise Line specials. Read more […] -
Those Who Cannot Take Last-Minute Cruises
Last-minute cruises, a perennial interest of ours and our readers, are an excellent option to consider if you are looking to take an affordable cruise vacation. There are other ways to find cheap cruises, but perhaps no method is more efficient than waiting to book at the last minute, when a cruise line has a strong financial incentive to book every open seat (should any exist). That said, last-minute cruises are only a live option for some people, as we recently discussed in an article about those who can take a last-minute cruise. Here we reverse the question, asking who can’t take a last-minute cruise, explicitly addressing what was before merely inferable. Read more […]
