Cruise Vacations:10 Ways to Sail #3

By caique in the wind turbines, with Terres d’Aventure

The cruise. “Hike and navigation in the Aeolian Islands”, aboard a caïque (photo).

Why is it good? We combine the pleasures of sailing from island to island (Vulcano, Panarea, Salina, Lipari and Stromboli) with those of hiking. On the program:swimming in the crystal clear waters at anchor or at the beach, climbing volcanoes, discovering small villages at stopovers...

We embark! From €1,690/pers. 8 days, including air transport and transfers, supervision, accommodation on board the boat with full board, except drinks and certain meals, terdav.com.

On a human-sized ship in Cuba, with La Maison des Croisières

The cruise. “Grand Cuban Tour”, aboard the M/S Hamburg.

Why is it good? Because Cuba is THE destination of the moment. With this cruise, we take advantage of the comfort of the M/S Hamburg and its small size (380 passengers) to go around the island and dock in ports inaccessible to large ships. At stopovers (Antilla, Santiago de Cuba, Montego Bay in Jamaica, Cienfuegos, Cayo Largo, Maria La Gorda and Havana), we discover the most beautiful sites during excursions accompanied by French-speaking guides.

We embark! From €2,500/pers. 11 days/9 nights, departing from Paris on an Air France flight, maisondescroisieres.fr.

By cruise ship in the fjords of Norway, with Costa

The cruise. “Land of the Vikings”, aboard the Costa Favolosa, an itinerary under the midnight sun towards the fjords of Norway.

Why is it good? This is one of the best ways to discover them:you navigate through waterfalls, glaciers and green valleys. Breathtaking views! Our top 3 excursions? Geiranger, Bergen and Kristiansand and their typical wooden houses.

We embark! From €1,529/pers. in the classic formula (Comfort Advanced rate which includes the cruise and drinks) with flights from Paris, costacroisieres.fr.
