The best Balearic cruises take place between April and December. August is a particularly good time, when you can take advantage of the exceptional Mediterranean climate, with temperatures averaging 30°.
During your stopovers, take time to appreciate the landscape shaped by fields of olive and almond trees as far as the eye can see. Costa Cruises and MSC Cruises offer both mini and classic cruises to the Balearic Islands.
For a cheap Balearic cruise, we recommend you choose a mini cruise! You can also book your vacation in advance and benefit from early booking rates (Prima rates for Costa Cruises and Presto rates for MSC). In fact, by booking early you can benefit from discounts of up to 60% off the brochure price! This is particularly attractive in summer, when demand is high.

The Balearic Islands, a choice destination for a cruise in the sun
In the heart of the Mediterranean, some 92 km off the Spanish coast, lie the Balearic Islands, an archipelago made up of four main islands: Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera. Despite the ever-growing influx of tourists from all over the world, who come to admire the archipelago's historic vestiges and enjoy the beauty of its beaches, the Balearic Islands have managed to retain their authenticity. Mallorca, the largest of the islands, covers 3640 km². It's famous for its eternal springtime climate and fine sandy beaches, but also for its fountains and architectural masterpieces. Minorca, which covers an area of 710 km², remains relatively unknown to holidaymakers, yet is not lacking in charm, with its authentic coastal towns and beaches still preserved from the hordes of holidaymakers. The destination of choice for hippies in the 60s, Ibiza, which covers an area of 541 km², is the leading destination for the jet set and clubbers from all over the world, who come to party the night away. Your cruise stopover in the Balearic Islands will introduce you not only to this aspect of the island, but also to a quieter, more reserved side that few holidaymakers are lucky enough to experience. Formentera, the most secretive of the Balearic Islands, is a verdant jewel of just 82 km². Here, time seems to stand still, the better to let you appreciate nature.
The Balearics, for a Mediterranean cruise
For many, the Balearic Islands are just a fashionable seaside resort, but to sum up this archipelago solely in terms of the beauty of its beaches would be to show it a lack of respect. If lazing in the sun is on the agenda during a stopover in Palma de Mallorca , Mallorca's main city, it's not the only thing you can do. The city is a microcosm of culture, brimming with architectural marvels that transcend the ages. This cultural stroll begins with a tour of the city's emblematic monuments, including Bellver Castle and its circular structure, a Gothic relic that served as the royal residence under Jaques II. The "Seo", Palma de Mallorca's cathedral, is another Gothic building you'll have the chance to admire during your Balearic cruise stopover. Directly opposite is the Almudaina Palace, a former Muslim castle that served as the residence of Mallorca's monarchs during the 13th century. Built on the site of an ancient Moorish fortress, it overlooks the entire seafront. If the building's exterior already catches the eye with its structure, inside it fascinates with its remarkable decoration, where tapestries and furniture from other Spanish historical monuments take pride of place. The palace's inner courtyard, with its perfectly manicured gardens, is also well worth a visit. Continue your discovery of Palma with a visit to the Museo de Mallorca, home to an impressive collection of earthenware and antique objects. Want to discover Palma's surroundings? Take the little train to the Serra de Tramuntana. The program includes visits to farming villages and olive groves. Before leaving Mallorca, be sure to visit the Dragon Caves and their underground lakes surrounded by immense stalagmites and stalactites.
After Mallorca, your cruise ship will drop you off in Menorca, a peaceful spot where you can enjoy the pleasures of the sea in complete tranquillity. The island's most popular beaches are Valls and Cala Pregonda. After a swim, take the road to La Ciutadella, the ecclesiastical town where you'll find the medieval cathedral and other ancient buildings. Before reboarding your ship and continuing your cruise, be sure to admire the sunset in the sandstone quarries of Pedreres de S'Hostal. Your next stop is Ibiza, the party island of the Balearics. Discotheques and trendy bars abound. If you want to enjoy a little peace and quiet, take the road to the es Savinar Tower to admire the islets of Es Vedra and Es Venadrell, 200 meters above the sea. Cruises to the Balearic Islands also take in the island of Formentera, much to the delight of nature lovers. Cycling through salt marshes and pine forests, swimming in turquoise waters lined with fine sand on the beaches of Llevant and Illettes are all on the agenda for this stopover.
A charming destination all year round
The best time to cruise the Balearics is from April to November, but if you want to enjoy more pleasant weather, the ideal time to plan your trip is from June to October. At this time of year, the water is 21 degrees, making swimming much more pleasant. Rainfall is also fairly low. If you want to avoid the influx of holidaymakers, schedule your cruise a little before the school vacations, between May and June, or just after, from September to October.
