Mount Athos cruise
Cruise to see the forbidden Athos on a pirate ship!
Mount Athos is a monastic republic, separated from the rest of Greece. The only way to enter is by boat and then by foot to the monasteries. But only if you're a man and have applied for permission beforehand. No woman has been allowed to set her foot on the Athos peninsula of Halkidiki for the last thousand years... So the next best thing is to go on a cruise, that goes up the western side of the Athos peninsula. And what better way to experience it, than on a pirate ship!

Cruise to the Mexican Riviera on the NCL Star
Is a cruise right for you?

Cruising for People Who Hate Cruises
Do you hate the idea of taking a vacation aboard a cruise ship?  The pretentiousness?  The shows?  The stupid activities?  Sitting at dinner with that couple from Des Moines and having to listen to their stories... for seven straight nights? Me, too.  I was convinced that I would never take a cruise... but then I did, anyway.  Why? The truth is, cruising can be by far the cheapest way to travel to some parts of the world. I still hate all that other stuff.   So, we found a way to use the crui...

Best Mediterranean Ports Of Departure - Palma De Mallorca, Mallorca
Let's Cruise From Palma
Palma lies on the south west coastline of the island of Mallorca in the West Mediterranean Sea. The history of Palma goes back to the Romans, who founded the settlement as a trading port between Italy and Spain.

The Mallorcan Moors employed Palma as a base to attack Catalan boats sailing to and fr...
