Mediterranean Cruise Destinations

From Barcelona to the Bay of Kotor, the Mediterranean strings together Europe’s greatest port cities. Here are the regions and marquee calls.

Rome, Florence & the Italian coast

Rome from Civitavecchia, Florence and Pisa from Livorno, Naples for Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast, plus the Italian Riviera and Cinque Terre — the heart of most Western Med sailings.

Barcelona & the Western Med

Gaudí’s Barcelona, the French Riviera (Nice, Monaco, Provence) and Spain’s coast — a favorite embarkation city and a wealth of Western Mediterranean ports.

The Greek Isles

Santorini’s caldera, Mykonos’ windmills and beaches, Rhodes and Crete — plus Athens (Piraeus) for the Acropolis. The signature Eastern Mediterranean cruise.

The Adriatic & Croatia

Venice, the walled city of Dubrovnik, Split’s Diocletian’s Palace and Montenegro’s stunning Bay of Kotor — dramatic coastlines and history.

Turkey, Sicily, Malta & the islands

Ephesus from Kuşadası, Sicily (Taormina, Siracusa, Messina), Malta’s Valletta and the Balearic Islands — the Mediterranean’s great island calls.
