Coasts of the Med All Inclusive
This seven-night Coasts of the Med all inclusive holiday is a fantastic choice for those looking for a straightforward, high-value summer escape. Operating as an all-inclusive cruise, this trip takes the guesswork out of budgeting, as your meals, snacks, and a wide selection of drinks are already covered in the price. Sailing on the Marella Explorer, you will experience a well-organised itinerary that visits some of the most recognisable ports in Spain, Italy, and France, starting and ending in the sunny port of Palma de Mallorca.
The Marella Explorer is a comfortable and well-equipped ship that was added to the fleet in 2018. It features ten different dining venues, ranging from the main waiter-service restaurants to the casual Snack Shack, ensuring there is something to suit every taste. For those who enjoy live entertainment, the ship boasts a large Broadway-style show lounge and various bars where you can enjoy a drink while listening to live music. Relaxing is easy with the onboard Champneys spa, a pool deck with plenty of loungers, and even a mini-golf course for some light-hearted fun.
What makes this Coasts of the Med all inclusive cruise particularly appealing for Irish travellers is the convenience. The holiday includes return flights from Dublin directly to Palma, with all airport and port transfers handled for you. A 20kg checked bag is also included for every passenger, so you don’t have to worry about packing light. Throughout the week, you will visit Marina di Carrara in Italy, the gateway to the marble mountains, and Savona, which allows for easy access to Genoa. You will also spend time in the French port of Calvi in Corsica and the vibrant city of Marseilles, before stopping in Barcelona to see the world-famous landmarks.
Every detail is managed to ensure a stress-free experience. Onboard gratuities and service charges are included, meaning there are no unexpected tips to pay at the end of your stay. Whether you are interested in the history of the Mediterranean ports or simply want to relax on deck and enjoy the sea air, this cruise offers a balanced and enjoyable itinerary. Our travel advisors are available to provide expert booking advice and can even help you extend your holiday with a seven-night hotel stay in Majorca if you wish to spend more time on land.
