Passengers will be able to board directly in Cartagena for a 7 or 14 day cruise through the Mediterranean.
Princess Cruises, a subsidiary of Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL; NYSE: CUK), has announced that its flagship, the "Royal Princess," which will make six stops in the port of Cartagena, will offer the possibility of embarking in this city for the first time.
For both Princess Cruises and Mundomar Cruceros, this initiative is a significant milestone, as Cartagena becomes a port of embarkation for the first time. Therefore, a strong response is expected from travelers and local travel agencies. This initiative will also have a major impact on the port and the city itself, which anticipates welcoming a greater volume of passengers than in previous years.
Mundomar Cruises wants to make every effort to ensure its customers have an unforgettable vacation experience. Therefore, for cruises embarking in Cartagena, they have prepared a Complete Trip package including flight and hotel. After disembarking at the port of Civitavecchia (for 7-day cruises) or Piraeus (for 14-day cruises), passengers will be transferred to either Rome or Athens (depending on the cruise) to enjoy the culture and art of one of these two capitals of ancient civilizations. Accommodation in Rome will be in a superior 4-star luxury hotel, with bed and breakfast included. The day after disembarking, after exploring the city, customers will be transferred by bus to the airport for their return flight home. This Complete Trip package can be booked directly through the website www.cruceros-princess.com
