For the first time in three years Carnival Cruise Lines will offer a full season of Mediterranean cruises in 2011, transporting guests to breathtaking Mediterranean ports and offering a cost-effective way of exploring Europe.

This cruise is priced from $1,707 per person, twin share and will mark the first time a Carnival ship has home ported in Barcelona.
An additional 9-night Mediterranean cruise, sailing from Barcelona to Palma de Mallorca, Spain will take guests to the magnificent European cities of Monte Carlo, Monaco and Livorno, Rome, Naples and Messina, Italy. With various departures available from June to October 2011, this cruise is priced from $1,397 per person, twin share – or just $155 per day (based on the 5 August sailing in category 4C).
For guests seeking a shorter but fulfilling European cruise, Carnival is also offering a 7-night Mediterranean cruise.
