French Riviera & Ibiza Cruise
This 8-night holiday offers Irish holidaymakers a fantastic opportunity to explore the Mediterranean in style. Starting with a direct flight from Dublin to Barcelona, guests will enjoy a one-night stay in a comfortable hotel in this vibrant city. This allows plenty of time to explore the Las Ramblas area or admire the local architecture before heading to the port the following morning. This French Riviera Spain cruise is an adult-only experience, ensuring a relaxed atmosphere throughout the journey.
You will board the Resilient Lady, a modern 5-star vessel that prides itself on a fresh approach to ocean travel. From the moment you step on board, everything is organised for your comfort. The cabins are designed for the 21st century, featuring tablets that allow you to control the mood-match lighting, watch movies, or order “ShipEats” directly to your door. The cruise includes all-day dining at various venues, with no extra charges for specialty restaurants, so you can enjoy decadent dinners and sociable brunches throughout your stay. Soft drinks, WiFi, and even onboard gratuities are all covered in the price, providing excellent value for money.
The first port of call is Cannes, known globally for its film festival and stunning seaside promenade. You can spend the day celebrity-spotting or exploring the charming old quarter of Le Suquet. The city’s famous beaches received a significant facelift recently, offering plenty of space for Irish guests to enjoy the sun. Next, the ship visits Toulon, the gateway to Provence. Here, holidaymakers from Ireland can take a cable car to the top of Mont Faron for incredible coastal views or sample local pastries and herbs like oregano and thyme at the street markets.
After a relaxing day at sea to enjoy the ship’s facilities and perhaps visit the onboard casino or social club, you will arrive in Valencia. This city is a wonderful blend of futuristic architecture and historic squares. It is also the birthplace of paella, making it a perfect spot for a long lunch. The final stop is a real highlight: an overnight stay in Ibiza. This gives you the chance to see both sides of the island, from its famous sunset spots and boho-cool style to the historic World Heritage-listed Dalt Vila.
With flights, baggage, and taxes all included, this is a straightforward and well-planned trip. Your Travel Escapes advisor is on hand to help with every detail, ensuring your Mediterranean escape is completely stress-free.
