What is the cost for a Mediterranean Cruise ?

How much does a Mediterranean cruise cost? There is no simple answer for such a question due to the fact that the cost of a Mediterranean cruise varies with many different factors such as the length of the cruise, where you intend to go, the activities you intend to do and also the volume of shopping that will be done. Naturally a 17 day cruise would cost much more than a 3 day cruise and also more would have to be spent on other amenities.

Prices for a 3-night Mediterranean cruise on average is about $270 plus port taxes, with 7 night cruises ranging from $1,000 to $4,000. Trips of 12 nights and more will cost around $5,500 to $14,000. These prices are heavily dependent on the cruise company one chooses and the time of year for the cruise. Luxury all inclusive cruise lines will naturally cost more than cost effective liners. One will also realize that the prices for Mediterranean cruises are more expensive in the summer months when compared to prices in the fall season months. It is also strongly advised that passengers read and understand the ‘fine prints’ as to be fully aware of what is included onboard, what they will be paying for and at what cost.

Taking advantage of deals can also go a long way in limiting the cost of one’s cruise if you are operating on a limited budget. Cruise companies have deals and promotions from time to time throughout the year thus offering a number of opportunities to get good deals while if you are travelling with your family then a company such as Disney Cruise Line will have very good deals for families traveling with small children than would a more luxury oriented liner such as Silversea.

It is important that while planning your cruise, to factor in the cost for excursions, tips and transportation which could also include airfare. Other costs include shopping for souvenirs that you wish to take back from your Mediterranean experience. Although the number set aside for shopping will vary vastly from traveler-to-traveler, expect tips to range from $5 to $20 per passenger on a daily bases and also factor in the port fees which are passed onto the passengers by the cruise companies.
