Cruises may not be everyone’s preferred choice for a vacation. While the idea of spending a few days or weeks on a boat may not appeal to those who don’t enjoy being at sea, affordable flights now provide countless opportunities for people to experience their dream weekend getaway or even a two-week holiday in their favorite international destination.
However, budget-conscious fashion-forward travelers who usually go to the United States for denim or 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 might unknowingly limit themselves to just a few key styles, when embarking on a broader trip with companies like MSC Cruises could take them on an adventure beyond their wildest expectations.
Let’s explore three popular cruise destinations this summer and discover why you should consider hopping 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 unassuming alleys and streets. And if you’re not already captivated by Gaudi’s architecture and the exquisite food on the Iberian Peninsula, a visit to La Roca Village is sure to impress you!
Genoa
Genoa, often overshadowed by Turin and Milan, takes the third spot in Italy’s industrial triangle in terms of popularity. However, the city, lovingly nicknamed “la Superba” by locals, boasts remarkable landmarks, excellent art, and fashion houses. If you can’t find what you’re looking for in Genoa, don’t despair – Milan is just a couple of hours north, offering everything a dedicated fashion follower needs.
Haifa
Haifa, in Israel, may not be an obvious fashion destination, but it offers a fresh and unique take on fashion and accessories. Embracing the local styles will give you a wonderfully distinct look influenced by the city’s stunning UNESCO-protected architecture, especially as it is home to the Bahá’í World Centre. And the best part is, it’s just a cruise away!
