Cruises may not be everyone’s preferred choice for a holiday. While the idea of spending a few days or weeks on a boat doesn’t appeal to those who dislike being at sea, affordable flights now offer countless opportunities for people to experience their dream getaway over a weekend or even a two-week holiday in their favorite international destination.
However, budget-conscious and fashion-forward travelers, who typically head to the United States for the best denim or to the Far East for the finest silk and satin, may not realize the multitude of options available to them in the Mediterranean. Renowned for its unique fashion styles, jewelry, and accessories, fashionistas may be unintentionally limiting themselves to a few key styles, when by embarking on a broader journey with companies like MSC Cruises, they could set off on an adventure beyond their wildest expectations.
Let’s explore three popular cruise destinations this summer and discover why you should consider getting on board:
Barcelona
Barcelona, Spain’s second-largest city and one of the most artistically blessed metropolises in the world, offers luxury clothing at affordable prices if you know where to look. Lonely Planet recommends exploring the city’s hidden gems tucked away in alleyways and unassuming streets. And if you’re not already captivated by Gaudi’s architecture and the exquisite cuisine of the Iberian Peninsula, a visit to La Roca Village is sure to impress!
Genoa
Genoa, often overshadowed by Turin and Milan, ranks third in the Italian industrial triangle in terms of popularity. However, the city, affectionately nicknamed “la Superba” by locals, is home to remarkable landmarks, excellent arts, and fashion houses. If you don’t find what you’re looking for in Genoa, don’t despair – Milan is just a few hours north, offering everything a fashion enthusiast could dream of.
Haifa
Haifa, Israel, may not be an obvious fashion destination, but it offers a fresh and unique approach to fashion and accessories. Embracing local styles will give you a wonderfully distinct look, influenced by the city’s spectacular UNESCO-protected architecture, especially as it is home to the Baha’i World Centre. And the best part is, it’s only a cruise away!
