Cruise holidays become a real trend among Romanian tourists who want to see more countries in a short time, without spending hours on the road. Comfort and diversity are just two of the strengths of a cruise.

Gabriela, a tourist passionate about this type of travelers, says she is in the seventh cruise and that she is no longer seen choosing another type of holiday: “Every morning when you draw the curtain, see another city. It is a complete experience: discover new places, relax on the beach and enjoy life on the vessel-shows, swimming pools, restaurants, everything you want”, reports Click!
Romanians are increasingly attracted to this concept, and the figures confirm. In recent years, the demand for cruise has increased by about 30%. The big profile companies, such as Costa Cruises, have observed this interest and come with dedicated offers.
“Our 8 -day cruise in the Mediterranean – Italy, France, Spain – is the best sold for the Romanian market. The rates start from 599 euros/person, and the children under 18 travel for free”, says Mirco Vassallo, Costa Cruises sales director.
Cruise vs. stay at the hotel?
The advantages are clear, explains Liana Epure, Marketing Manager Cruise Hub (Cruise Division of Aerotravel): “Tourists are no longer limited to a single destination. You can see five or six cities in a week, without doing and undoing luggage. In addition, you have all the included meals, shows and facilities on board which sometimes exceed the standards of a five-star hotel.”
5 Tips for a Dream Cruise at Low Price
1. Reserve in time – the best rates are winter, and the Early Booking reservations also offer the possibility to pay in installments.
2. Look for last-wise-ideal if you have flexibility, but only choose from the remaining cabins.
3. Additional packages – drinks, Internet and trips are cheaper if you take them before leaving.
4. Choose accessible ports – Rome, Genoa, Barcelona or Athens are easily accessible from Romania.
5. trips to shore – reserve in advance to take place and avoid the stress of returning on your own.
The one -week cruises start from 599 euros/person for an interior cabin, and the package includes all meals, snacks, accommodation and port fees.
