Since last September 15, the period to request trips from the Imserso, the social tourism program for the elderly, has been open. This period will be until December 1. Although among the trips that are offered I have not found cruises, the truth is that Some shipping companies and travel agencies take advantage of these dates to take out cruises at the Imserso price, that is, at very, very good prices, and the requirement that they ask you to apply the price is to be over 55 or 60 years old.
I will tell you about some of the proposals that are on the table so that you can do a luxury cruise, at an Imserso price.
The cruises that I have seen with departure from Barcelona they cross the Western Mediterranean. I propose these four options, and their reservation date, but you can check with your travel agency and find out about others.
Until September 30 you can make a reservation at the Costa Diadema for a 6-night trip from Barcelona to Marseille and back to Barcelona. The departure is on December 12, the cheapest price is for the interior cabin at 75 euros for people over 55 years old and without taxes, but it does include full board on the boat and the use of all common areas, entertainment, shows ...
Until October 5 you can make a reservation for Travel in Sovereing from 149 euros, taxes not included, to do the Colors of the Mediterranean cruise.
Y MSC proposes you two cruises, one on the MSC Fantasia from 235 euros, the reservation can be made until September 30, leaving on November 9. It is a 6-night journey through the Mediterranean visiting the Italian coasts. And the other, in the MSC Splendida from 299 euros, plus taxes, of 8 days of duration and with an additional discount of 5% on the beverage package if the person is over 60 years old. The advantage is that this very interesting price is maintained at the start of almost every Friday until the month of March. Remember that these prices are for people over 55 years old.
