Sunquest’s long duration cruises are back

Sunquest’s long duration cruise holidays are back, offering travellers the opportunity to combine Italy’s vibrant culture with the beauty of the Mediterranean and Caribbean. The 21- and 24-day cruise holidays include air, a pre-cruise coach tour through Italy and a cruise through the Mediterranean and Caribbean. Sailing aboard the MSC Poesia, guests travel from Genoa, Italy to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The 21-day cruise holiday, departing Nov. 7 starts at $2,299 plus tax. The trip begins in Rome and features a pre-cruise coach tour that explores Rome and Florence, before departing for six nights through the Mediterranean, a five-night transatlantic crossing and finishing with five nights through the Caribbean. The 24-day cruise holiday, departing Nov. 4 starts at $2,699 plus tax. The six-night pre-cruise coach tour begins in the south, touring Naples, Sorrento, the Almalfi coast and Pompeii, before moving more north to Rome and Florence. Similar to the 21-day cruise holiday, passengers then travel for six nights through the Mediterranean, have a five-night transatlantic crossing and finish with five nights through the Caribbean. Travellers booking by July 18 will receive a free stateroom upgrade and a free wine package, representing a total savings of $750 per couple. (http://www.sunquestagent.ca)
