Destination2 says the ‘cruise and stay’ multi-centre getaways can reduce costs by up to 30 per cent.
These trips combine the pleasures of a cruise with extended stays on land, by combining a number of destinations in one seamless trip.
Bundled discounts on flights, accommodation, and transfers mean ‘significant savings’ for travellers, according to Destination2.
Options include combining a city break in New York with a Caribbean cruise, then wrapping up with a stop in Miami – without the hefty price tag.
Destination2’s cruise expert, Mike Graham, said: “From the Caribbean to the Mediterranean, multi-centre cruise and stay holidays allow you to create an itinerary that balances the thrill of a city escape with the relaxation of a beach retreat and with the freedom that only cruises provide.
“Destination2’s expert team does the hard work for you, helping create your perfect multi-centre trip.
“You can choose from one of our ready-made multi-centre packages, which offer a smart way to save as with bundled discounts on flights, accommodation and transfers, making them significantly more cost-effective than booking separate trips.”
Some of Mr Graham’s top picks include a 13-night trip to Majorca, Barcelona, and the Mediterranean, with prices starting from £759 per person.
This includes a five-night all-inclusive stay in Majorca at the four-star Hotel Mariant Park, a one-night stay in Barcelona at the Hotel Vilamarí, and a seven-night Mediterranean Dreams Cruise onboard MSC Magnifica.
