Fly Cruise from Barcelona

So as most of you know finding a 7 night cruise from Southampton is difficult, over the season there are few of them and in the main they will be to Norway, France or around the UK. So if you are looking for a bit of that Med sun then why not think about a fly cruise from Barcelona.

Why Barcelona you ask, well there is a choice of cruise lines doing 7 to 12 night cruises which can be boarded in Barcelona and it is easy to get to either go cruise only and findg your own flights with on of many low-cost carriers or as a cruise line package if their flight package is available.

So what are the choices, and this list is not exhaustive, Royal Caribbean have both Liberty and Brilliance of the Seas sailing from Barcelona, Celebrity Cruise Lines have Solstice, NCL have the Epic - see my review on this ship, MSC have Splendida and Fantasia.

The choice is massive, in terms of level of service, length of cruise, itinerary and cost.

So what would I do you ask, well having just got back from a few days in this beautiful Catalonian city, I would book my own flights and pick one of the cruises on a cruise only basis, but go a couple of days early to do a bit of sightseeing.

There is so much to see from La Rambla to Camp Nou to the Olympic site and of course the Gaudi architecture ending with Sagrada Familia.

So go on give it a go!
