This is a generic category to, capture your wish list for Med cruises in the peak season months of August, September, and early October.
As Europe is chock-a-block during the peak summer months the ships invariably sell out, and hence the cruise lines do not have to take action to drop prices to fill unsold cabins.
That being said, we will always have last-minute discounts for those who are able to remain flexible.
Here is how it works. Say you've got your heart set on a cruise from Athens to Venice in August. If that really is the ONLY cruise you are prepared to consider and you will be disappointed if you miss out, you book well in advance, Ask our advice on this.
If on the other hand, you know you are going to be on the ground in Europe for 3/4 weeks and are happy to stay flexible, here is a game plan to follow.
Book your flights well in advance. Flights, unlike cruises, usually don't get cheaper, the closer you get to departure. Then use sites like bookings.com to reserve hotels that offer free cancelation.
Then stay in contact with us, and it is almost certain that we will be able to find you an incredible deal on a six-star ship at very low prices. It might mean that instead of cruising from Athens to Venice you might end up sailing Venice to Rome, but when you are on a first class ship it really doesn't matter too much where you go. And as it is so quick and cheap to get between main port cities in Europe it is snap to change your plans a month or two in advance.
Most of the Med voyages we sell cruise between:
- Athens
- Venice
- Istanbul
- Rome
- Barcelona

A note about pricing.
Our prices, like most online retailers, including VTG, are not live, only indicative.
We do everything possible to ensure pricing is accurate when they are uploaded every Sunday.
However, pricing in the cruise industry is no different from airfares. Prices can go up and down based on availability and can change, or indeed sell out, in the time it takes you to refresh your screen.
When you request a quote we have to get into the reservation system of the cruise line and verify current-day pricing, which can be different from prices on our website. Pricing in the industry is all communicated electronically and this can lead to corrupted data and errors which we may not pick up until we ask for a specific quote.
Until we place a firm hold on a cabin, prices can never be guaranteed. Failure to pay deposits by the set deadlines will void any quoted prices.
