A trip on a cruise liner offers the opportunity to explore the world while enjoying endless sea spaces. The “floating city” gives travelers various services and entertainment options. In addition to cabins and restaurants, the ship features open pools, water parks, play areas, cinemas, shops, and more. Sea tours can last from a few days to several months. The editors at ELLE O’zbekiston have compiled the most interesting routes worth adding to your travel list.  

The Mediterranean Sea 

One of the most popular sea destinations is a Mediterranean cruise. You can choose a route along the western or eastern shores. Depending on the tour, the journey includes visits to countries such as Italy, Greece, Turkey, Spain, and France. The Mediterranean cruise is popular due to its port cities for strolls, rich cultural programs, and delicious cuisine.

Australia and Oceania 

The advantage of cruises in this region is the chance to get acquainted with Australia, New Zealand, and the Southern Pacific Islands. This route allows you to enjoy natural beauty, unique flora, and fauna, and immerse yourself in the culture of the indigenous peoples – the aborigines.
