Mediterranean Cruise Roundtrip from Barcelona -- $899 for Balcony Cabin, Plus $50 On-Board Credit and $100 Airfare Credit

Looking to have a European adventure? Right now, Expedia is showing a wonderful deal on the Norwegian Gem, with 7-night Mediterranean cruises as low as $899 for balcony cabins on various sailings in July and August.

On top of the already phenomenal price for a cruise during peak European season, there's also an on-board credit of $50 per cabin, as well as a $100 air credit per passenger for flights to Europe. So those savings really add up. (And when you compare the cost of a cruise to the hotel and food bills you might have, it's a way of having some luxury in Europe at less than you might pay on land.)

The Norwegian Gem is NCL's newest ship, and you'll get to enjoy the Mediterranean grandeur in a stateroom with its own private balcony. The itinerary starts in Barcelona, Spain and visits Valletta, Malta; Naples, Italy; Civitavecchia, Italy; Livorno, Italy; and Cannes, France before returning to Barcelona.

You need to book your cabin by May 12th to get the $100 per person airfare credit to use towards booking flights to Barcelona on Expedia. (After booking the cruise, you receive an e-mail about redeeming the credit. The funds are reimbursed to the credit card used for booking after taking the trip.)

This is a lot less than Mediterranean cruises during peak times have gone for in the past, and with the openness of a balcony view to enjoy, this one may really make it a memorable European adventure.
