A Mosaic of Cultures:
A Mediterranean cruise offers a kaleidoscope of cultures, each port whisking you to a new world with its own cuisine, language, and history. You can savor the tapas of Spain one day and the savory pasta of Italy the next. Many of our clients enjoy walking tours of the cities they are visiting, venturing to a popular historic site, or learning how to cook some of the local cuisine at a cooking class.

 

Convenience and Unpack Once:
Cruising provides the ultimate convenience. You unpack once and your floating hotel transports you to multiple breathtaking destinations. No need to worry about finding transportation or accommodations in each new city.  Many Mediterranean cruise itineraries offer a visit to a new port each day so you will be busy exploring all day until you return to your ship to relax each evening.

 

Rich History and Architecture:
The Mediterranean is a history buff's paradise. From ancient ruins like Greece's Acropolis to the grandeur of Italy's Colosseum, the stories of bygone eras come alive. Barcelona is a vibrant city known for its extraordinary architecture by Gaudí, such as the iconic Sagrada Familia, and the lively atmosphere of Las Ramblas. Step back in time in Rome amidst ancient ruins like the Colosseum, and savor the city's rich history and mouthwatering cuisine. Famed for its unique whitewashed buildings and stunning sunsets, the island of Santorini is a picture-perfect romantic escape.

 

Spectacular Scenery:
Imagine waking up to sun-kissed beaches, craggy cliffs, and azure waters dotted with charming islands. Each port offers stunning vistas, perfect for capturing beautiful memories. Tantalize your senses with the beautiful beaches and exquisite cuisine of the French Riviera.

 

World-Class Entertainment and Amenities:
Onboard, enjoy Broadway-style shows, indulge in luxurious spa treatments, or dine in restaurants featuring international cuisine. The ships themselves are a floating wonderland. You can choose a small ship with less people that may be able to tuck into tiny harbors that the large ships can’t go to, or a larger ship which will offer more activities onboard.
