Late Med Sun With Holland America

September is the perfect time to enjoy the late summer sun in the Mediterranean, whilst avoiding the peak summer crowds. And Holland America Line have some ideal opportunities to take full advantage.

Enjoy an 11-night Rome to Barcelona cruise for just £1,049pp, including return flights, transfers and full board accommodation in an inside stateroom, departing on September 17. Guests on this cruise can also upgrade to an Ocean View stateroom for only £1. Cruise-only trips are available from just £649pp. All prices are based on two people sharing an inside stateroom.

Without the intense summer heat, this 'Mediterranean Explorer' voyage calls first at beautiful Naples, from where Pompeii and Capri can be visited. This is followed by Palermo in Sicily and Tunisia’s La Goulette. The ship then travels back to Italy, calling at Livorno, where excursions to Florence and Pisa are available, before moving on to glamorous Monte Carlo, Marseille and Palma de Mallorca. The cruise ends in Barcelona on September 27, where guests can enjoy an extra one night’s stay on board before flying back to London.
