Mediterranean Overview
Greece is considered by some to be the cradle of modern civilization, and you could argue that the cultures and people of the Mediterranean as a whole have created some of the world’s most sustaining landmarks, organizations and customs. From Greece you have the concept of healthcare from Hippocrates, Rome is the home of the Catholic Church and Egypt has the great and mystical Pyramids. A cruise here is perfect for anyone seeking revelry and enlightenment. Featured below are a handful of great ways to make the most of your time on one of our Mediterranean Cruises.
01
Venice’s Grand Cana
Travel in style on a romantic gondola ride on Venice’s Grand Canal. Bonus points if you time your trip for the sunset. Venice, a city built on water, is unlike any other and offers travelers expansive squares, churches and beautiful art collections.
02
La Sagrada Familia Church
Enter a construction site as you discover La Sagrada Familia Church, a huge church that was designed by Antoni Gaudi in the center of Barcelona! The church has been in construction since 1882 and recently, plans were announced to complete the iconic chapel in 2026. Sailings for Mediterranean cruises are not available that far out, but it certainly would be something to see it while under construction and completed, 150 years after beginning. Let’s plan for now and then!
03
Mediterranean Cruises
Try the food. Mediterranean cruises are sought after the world over for the eclectic cuisine. In Spain, try the tapas or paella. When cruising through Italy, you’d be remiss if you didn’t get pizza from Naples, its birthplace. In Greece, start your day off with a hearty tzatziki dish and go from there. One thing you can never have enough of is olive oil.
04
France’s Cote d’Azur
Be inspired by the beautiful coastline of France’s Cote d’Azur, the Greek Isles or Spain’s Canary Islands. Despite having major cities, the Mediterranean also has beautiful beaches for relaxing and rejuvenating your spirit.
05
Sistine Chapel
Look up – it’s not a bird, it’s not the sky, it’s the painting of Michelangelo. At least that’s what you’ll see if you raise your head during a visit to the Sistine Chapel, which in itself is a work of art. Many Mediterranean cruises even include priority access to the Vatican!
06
Acropolis
Summon the power of Zeus, the leader of the Greek gods, as you visit the Acropolis, an ancient city that sits high on a hill in Athens. This is where you’ll find the Parthenon and the Temple of Athena Nike, but these are just a sample of the incredible sights and flavors of special Mediterranean cruises that focus on the Greek Isles.
01
bungee jumping
The people of Pentecost Island in Vanuatu may have invented the action sport of bungee jumping. Here you can see the local boys jump from daring heights with a vine as their only protection
02
Perfect souvenir
The waters surrounding Tahiti are teeming with riches, literally. This region is famous for producing beautiful black pearls. Take a tour of a pearl farm and purchase the perfect souvenir to remember your experience in Tahiti.
03
Swim with whales
Swim with whales off the coast of Tonga. Along with swimming with whales, the water in Tonga is perfect for diving and snorkeling as it offers a variety of curiosities, from the underwater caves to the colorful coral and beautiful fish.
04
Massage on the beach
Forget all your cares and get a massage. You can even get a massage on the beach where you’ll hear the smooth lapping sounds of the waves and feel the warmth of the sun as your masseuse works out any leftover stress.
05
Fire dancers
See fire dancers and learn about some of the cultural traditions of Polynesia at the Tiki Village Cultural Center in Moorea. This is a chance to learn about the local lifestyles in a typical Polynesian town.
