The wave of cold accompanied us in the past week with low temperatures reminiscent of Northern Europe, causing many of us to dream of warm exotic destinations. One of the most convenient ways to vacation in exotic destinations is through cruises that allow visits to islands with turquoise waters and exotic destinations that are usually reached by air travel. For example, MSC Cruises offers a variety of cruises to especially warm destinations that will provide a perfect escape from both the war and the chilly winter.

The Caribbean islands and Mexico have always been considered desirable destinations for those who want to escape the cold in winter, just ask the Kardashians.

Il Attias, CEO of MSC Cruises: "Despite the difficult period in the country, we see increasing interest from Israelis in going on vacation, after a long period and at the peak of winter, Israelis are starting to think about family trips abroad. Surprisingly, the highest demand among Israelis is for warm destinations in general and specifically for the Caribbean. The cancellation of the need for a visa to the United States has led to a significant increase in the number of Israelis booking cruises departing from U.S. ports, from where our ships mostly sail to destinations in Central and South America, the Caribbean Islands, and the Antilles."
