Fred. Olsen's 16-night Cultural Mediterranean with the Amalfi Coast cruise, departing from Liverpool's Cruise Port on September 2 and returning September 18, is down to its final few cabins. Prices start from £3,949 per person.
Itinerary and Onboard Experience
The voyage takes in Málaga, Cartagena, Olbia, Naples, Salerno, Cagliari, and Lisbon, with passengers sailing past the Amalfi Coast. Travelling in warm weather but after peak-season crowds have dispersed, it offers a chance to explore several Mediterranean destinations in one trip.
