During the summer months, there are plenty of getaways close to home, and a few great opportunities to explore further afield.

At Mundy our number one choice of summer cruising area is the Mediterranean, mainly because exploring its variety can occupy a lifetime - history, culture, scenery, shopping, beaches: everything you might be looking for. You can choose from the Spanish, French and Italian Rivieras combined with the lovely islands of the Western Mediterranean; the magical Adriatic and Italy; the Greek islands and glorious coast of Turkey; and the Holy Land and Egypt. And don't forget, your floating hotel offers far better value for money than its land based equivalent.

If unspoilt wilderness, wildlife, and great natural beauty are your thing, pick Alaska, Norway, Iceland or Greenland. Or for the arts, architecture and historical treasures, the Baltic is the perfect choice.

As you go further north, you can't guarantee the sunshine, but within the Arctic Circle you will witness the magic of the Midnight Sun, and daylight that never ends.
