Take a Mediterranean cruise through thousands of years of Mediterranean history in long summer days and balmy evenings that encompass the Mediterranean Sea. Admire pretty ports and picturesque harbours, ancient ruins and historical monuments, busy markets and bustling boutiques, you can experience it all as you journey through the Mediterranean.

There are a wide variety of cruise ships with varying  itineraries and prices.

You can also cruise to Cyprus, Crete, Euboea, Rhodes, Lesbos, Chios, Kefalonia and Corfu in the Eastern Mediterranean; or travel to Sardinia, Corsica, Sicily, and Malta in the central Mediterranean as well as the magical Balearic Islands (Ibiza, Majorca and Minorca).

The Western Mediterranean cruises will most likely take you to the ports of Spain, France and Italy, and may also visit ports in Portugal, Monaco, Tunisia or Morocco. The Eastern Mediterranean cruises are most likely to include Italy, Greece, Turkey, Croatia, Bulgaria or the Ukraine. The Holy Land cruises usually combine Israel and Egypt with Eastern Mediterranean cruise ports and some of the Mediterranean cruises concentrate solely on the Greek Isles.

Eastern Mediterranean cruises set sail from spring time through to autumn time, with the summer time being the most popular season for sailings. You'll find the most value for money being the spring and autumn time which has the milder temperatures and lower fare prices. There are several main ports of embarkation and debarkation in the region and they are Athens/Piraeus (Greece), Istanbul (Turkey), and Venice. There are many smaller ports that may well be within your travel itinerary such as Dubrovnik (Croatia), Katakolon/Olympia (Greece), Bodrom (Turkey), Kusadasi (Turkey), Alexandria (Egypt). Also visited are the much loved Greek Isles of Mykonos, Corfu, Rhodes, Santorini, Patmos, Samos as well as uninhabited Delos and more.
