The Med Aboard a Classic Sailing Yacht – Cruise Traveller

The Med Aboard a Classic Sailing Yacht

The allure of a leisurely, luxe, summer cruise through the Med in 2024 aboard a majestic sailing yacht, followed by three romantic nights in Venice, is being offered by Australian small ship specialist, Cruise Traveller, which is offering savings of A$1370 per couple for bookings made by March 31, 2024.

Cruise Traveller’s new, 20-night ‘Mediterranean Icons’ fly, cruise and stay package features a dream voyage from  Barcelona to Venice aboard Windstar Cruises’ classically sleek sailing yacht, Wind Surf, one of the world’s largest sailing cruise ships, carrying 310 guests.

The exclusive holiday package begins on August 10, 2024, with an included flight from Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide or Perth to Barcelona, where guests can relax with a two-night stay before boarding the elegant, five-masted schooner, Wind Surf, for a 15-night summer journey to Venice via 14 destinations in Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Monaco, France, and Spain.

Ports include the sun-kissed rivieras of each of those countries – places not visited by larger ships such as Sanary-Sur-Mer in France, the charming, Italian fishing village of Portofino, the Tuscan town of Portoferraio  on the Italian island of Elba, Naxos Di Giardini in Sicily and the beautiful Adriatic coastal town of Rovinj in Croatia.

New onboard Wind Surf are special plant-based menus dedicated to vegetarian and vegan diets.

The voyage ends in Venice but the red carpet experience continues with three included nights in a Venice hotel, allowing extended time to explore and relax post cruise. Guests then fly home on an included flight from Venice to Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide or Perth to Barcelona.
