After Black Friday and Cyber ??Monday, we see that many of the great deals from the end of November remain alive. Therefore, those travelers who have not yet decided have time to formalize reservations, especially if the objective is to give a Christmas gift in the form of a trip.
This week we have been able to find a few options, very varied and inspiring, for a getaway to Spain, enjoy a last-minute Mediterranean cruise or travel to “the eternal spring” of the island of Madeira. You decide how you would like to start 2024.
If you do the math, traveling is often cheaper than staying at home. An example is this eight-day cruise with everything included – accommodation and meals – that travels around the Mediterranean for less than €500 per person, which is around €60 per day. This is a last-minute offer from the MSC Fantasia with various departures from the port of Barcelona during the month of January, visiting destinations such as Marseille, Genoa, Spezia, Naples and Mallorca.
Includes seven nights in an inside cabin, drinks and transfers, tips and boarding taxes. Discounts also apply to other types of accommodation.

Includes round-trip flights to Madeira; 5 nights at the Orquidea hotel in Funchal (well rated) with breakfast; transfers and three tours (one half day to the center of the island and two full days to Porto Moniz and Santana).
