Hairdressers, opticians, hotels ... the low cost model extends to all sectors and now also to companies of all sizes ... and of course the shipping companies are not going to be left behind. In reality, it does not happen as with the airlines that arrive at airports that are not the main ones, or they do not allow you to check in your suitcase if you do not pay first.
The concept of low cost in cruises has more to do with the good prices that you are going to get, with discounts of up to 60%, because either the day of the cruise is approaching and the seats have not yet been sold, or simply because the company offers a series of cabins at a low price, but the services and coverage are the same as a standard class cabin.
For instance, I'll give you a couple of itineraries that are advertised as low cost for next year, yes for 2018, Departure from the port of Barcelona, with a stopover in the Italian cities of Naples, Civitavecchia (in Rome), the port of Livorno, near Florence and Pisa, Villefranch, already in France, in Nice and Sète. Available from 569 euros, taxes included.
If the Mediterranean does not bind you, I propose this another low cost itinerary with departure from Gran Canaria and return to Fuerteventura in which the islands of Tenerife, La Palma and Lanzarote are visited, as well as the Moroccan city of Agadir. All for 421 euros with taxes included.
And if yours is already the Caribbean, obviously without plane flights, as a low cost price you can enter a 7-day trip for only 220 euros!
It may also be that the company offers you a 2 × 1, which is another way to take advantage of very interesting prices and promotions. In the Logitravel platform they usually get this type of prices for this it is necessary, sometimes, to have a discount coupon that reaches your email inbox.
