Destination:
Mediterranean Cruises |
Mediterranean history. It's
everywhere you turn. Down narrow, cobble-stoned streets, atop rugged
mountain cliffs just off the decks of your cruise ship. Escape all the
pressures of civilization without missing out on any of its pleasures.
Your days ashore are invitations to adventure, education and the pure
pleasure of seeing things you've only read about before. Visit castles,
museums and galleries. Explore ancient cities through winding canals.
From glorious gardens and gilded theaters to famous boulevards and
fabled landmarks, you're in for a picture-perfect experience.

Southern
Europe and The Mediterranean
Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, Saint
Paul, Marco Polo and millions of others from the dawn of
civilization to present-day cruise vacationers have
explored the coastal cities and thousands of islands of
Southern Europe and the Mediterranean Sea. These are, in
fact, places linked mainly by the sea, and much of their
history, commerce and traditions have their origins
there.
Cruises in this part of the world fall into three broad
categories:
Eastern Mediterranean/Aegean Sea cruises visit ports in
Turkey, Greece and islands such as Rhodes, Santorini,
Mykonos and Crete. Ships traveling this itinerary on
seven-day cruises often departing from Piraeus (Athens),
Greece, or Istanbul, Turkey, though some longer voyages
Cruise from ports farther west.
Western Mediterranean/Southern Europe cruises sail among
the cities and villages of Southern Europe from the
Adriatic to the Straits of Gibraltar, including Venice,
Naples, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Genoa, Italy; Monte
Carlo, Monaco; St.-Tropez, France; Barcelona, Spain; and
a host of others, ranging from small villages to major
cities.
Southern Mediterranean cruises visit the more exotic
ports of call along the coast of North Africa from
Morocco to the Holy Lands, including Tunis, Tunisia;
Tripoli, Libya; Alexandria, Egypt; and Haifa, Israel,
among others.
