Increasingly cruise companies strive to offer more interesting destinations, that motivate the curiosity of tourists. In this sense, culture, knowing distant countries and different ways of living is always a safe bet.
However, when we ask our travel agents for a cultural trip, their proposal is more directed towards the Mediterranean, with its Roman, Greek and Ottoman culture as the main asset, or for the so-called monumental cities of Central Europe, in this case they propose a river cruise. From this article, without detracting from any of these proposals, I want to take you to one or more cultural destinations that are not always proposed as the first option. If you dare, read on.
Royal Caribbean, and similarly other shipping lines, has a very interesting cultural itinerary through the imperial cities, for about 700 euros in a double cabin. The crossing lasts a week, the departure is from Copenhagen, and the cities of Stockholm, Tallinn, Saint Petersburg, the intellectual and cultural capital of Russia with its spectacular architectural masterpieces and artistic treasures, Helsinki where you can visit, among other important monuments, Suomenlinna, a fortress built on six islands, which is declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and return to the Danish capital to get lost in Vesterbro, its most dynamic and cultural neighborhood.
Completely changing registry I now propose a trip to the coasts of Mexico, Cuba, Belize and Honduras. The price, without taxes and without the plane tickets that take you to Cozumel, the port of departure, for a crossing of 8 days, does not reach 300 euros, if you read that correctly, for the month of October. I'm talking about an inside cabin, but you will see that the price is very affordable. In Cozumel you will find important pre-Hispanic cultural vestiges, in Havana, what can I tell you about the boardwalk, its old neighborhood, music, not only buildings are culture. On the way back, before disembarking, the boat will take you to the coasts of Yucatán, where they will propose interesting excursions.
