Many cruise ships go straight from one cruise to another so a great way to take a diverse cruise, of a longer duration, is to take two or more cruises back to back. A back to back cruise is basically taking two cruises on the same ship in a row, with no break in between. The ship is the same but the route and destinations are different.
Enjoy this cruise back to back with the 13 night Mediterranean with Malta Cruise departing on 7 November 2021. Click here for further information.
