We're considering a 7-day cruise to the Mediterranean in Sept/Oct on Windstar. This would be a financial stretch for us so want to make the right decision. I'm trying to decide between the Rome to Malta, Malta to Venice, Rome to Nice, Rome to Barcelona, or Rome to Marseille(late Oct) itineraries.

If anyone has taken any of these trips, I would appreciate your feedback. Also, are there any recommendations for other small ships to the Med, such as Clipper?

Thanks!

We did the WINDSURF in Mid Sept and it was AWESOME...Did it from Rome to Nice...WONDERFUL small ports..esp loved Portofino and St Tropez and Cannes..
This,to me , is a great starting point for a cruise...

Or ROME to Barcelona is also wonderful.

Thanks for the response, Andy. I have one other question. I'm prone to motion sickness. Being a small ship, did the Wind Surf roll alot?

Thanks again!

Winsurf is the largest of the fleet- 330 passengers...

I always take Antivert with me so I NEVER have motion sickness on any size ship-large or small..Have been taking this drug for over 25 years of cruising and NEVER go sick once..

We did NOT have any motion sickness at all- hubs does NOT take the pills.

Thanks for the recommendation, Andy. Is Antivert a presc or otc?

Also, we may be traveling in Oct instead of Sept. Do you my chance know if the weather is okay this time of year or too cool?

Thanks again!
