Last week we crossed the border that separates spring from summer and in the coming weeks, many travelers will begin to enjoy their vacations. Many others, the least farsighted, are still imagining and looking for a destination to escape to. But, at this point, it is not easy. The places on offer sell out quickly.
However, it is important not to lose faith. And with the aim of making the task easier for those who find themselves in this situation, we have selected 5 travel offers that, after carefully evaluating them, we consider that they can be very useful and, in addition, can mean significant savings in the budget for future trips. Take note.
The Costa Toscana, the new state-of-the-art ship powered by liquefied gas from Costa Cruises, puts its last cabins up for sale for departures next July (there are only 3 weeks left). It may be a good plan for this summer. She will set sail from the port of Barcelona and for 8 days she will visit Sardinia, Naples, Rome, Genoa and Marseille to return to the Catalan capital.
Includes 7 nights in an inside cabin, full board, entertainment and activities on board, port taxes and tips.
Where to book: Seascanner
Departures: July 16 and 23.
