Mediterranean Cruises

A Mediterranean cruise is more than just a vacation - it's an unforgettable journey through sun-soaked coastlines, rich cultures, and timeless history. From the pastel-colored ports of Italy to the whitewashed villages of Greece, the Mediterranean Sea cruise experience offers something for every traveler.

Set sail to iconic destinations like Rome, Santorini, Barcelona, and Dubrovnik. Whether you're chasing ancient ruins, world-class cuisine, or crystal-clear beaches, the best Mediterranean cruises offer all this and more - with the added comfort of luxury at sea.

Mediterranean Cruise Highlights

Step off the ship and into a world where art, architecture, and adventure intertwine. A Mediterranean cruise offers you the chance to:

Marvel at Gaudi's masterpieces in Barcelona, like La Sagrada Familia and Park Guell
Explore ancient history in Athens, from the Parthenon to the Acropolis
Wander through Florence's Renaissance museums, including the Uffizi and Museo di San Marco
Walk the Vatican Museums and gaze up at Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel
Swim in the cerulean waters of the Mediterranean Sea - just steps from your ship

Whether you choose a port-intensive itinerary or one with leisurely sea days, the best Mediterranean cruises balance culture, relaxation, and discovery.

Popular Cruise Ports on a Mediterranean Sea Cruise

A Mediterranean Sea cruise connects you to some of Europe's most iconic cities:

Mykonos, Greece: Stunningly serene with its white-washed buildings, blue-domed houses, and sparkling beaches, Mykonos is a must-see while in the Mediterranean. Lounge on a private beach, ride an ATV through the island's hills, or indulge in delicious, fresh Greek food at an oceanfront restaurant.
Venice, Italy: Imagine yourself moseying down a canal on a romantic gondola ride or strolling through cobblestone streets, gelato in hand. Venice is one beautiful sight after another - St. Mark's Basilica, Piazza San Marco, and Scuola Grande di San Rocco are just a few.
Dubrovnik, Croatia: Surrounded by walls dating back to the 13th Century, Dubrovnik is an interesting, historical town dotted with churches, cafes, monasteries, and shops. Visit the Arboretum and Rectors' Palace, or take a cable car up to Srd Hill for a beautiful view of the city.

When is the Best Time to Go to the Mediterranean?

With its warm, tropical temperatures, the Mediterranean is an attractive vacation destination for most of the year. In fact, cruise lines sail to the region year round, though the bulk of voyages are between March and October. If you are looking to avoid crowds, travel during the spring or fall; these seasons also offer more mild temperatures than July or August.

What Cruise Lines Go to the Mediterranean?

The Mediterranean is a popular cruise destination, and as such, most cruise lines sail there, from large, contemporary lines like Royal Caribbean Cruises to small, luxury ones like Silversea Cruises. Here are a few with plenty of sailings throughout the season:

Costa Cruises: Costa Cruises sails to the Mediterranean year round, and considers the region home. Travel to Eastern ports - Venice, Santorini, or Kotor, or Western ones like Barcelona or Ibiza on a Costa Cruise. This Italian line offers plenty of kids programming, spacious cabins, and eco-excursions for those looking to try something adventurous with no environmental impact.
MSC Cruises: Choose from dozens of ports in Spain, France, Italy, Croatia and Greece on an MSC cruise through the Mediterranean. MSC's staff leads shore excursions to significant archaeological sites, world-class museums and monuments, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, aquariums and more.
Norwegian Cruise Line: Depart from Barcelona, Venice or Rome on a Norwegian Cruise Line voyage through the Mediterranean. Norwegian's signature Freestyle Cruising is perfect for families or laid-back travelers looking for a relaxed cruising environment. Choose from a four-day Western Mediterranean cruise, a 20-day Eastern Mediterranean and the Gulf cruise, or plenty more in between.
