Sailing about the Mediterranean evokes one of those storybook tales that can bring its reader to mysterious, romantic and adventurous days gone by. In fact, any voyage upon this ancient body of water follow the wakes of adventurous sails dating back to before the beginning of time. The diverse cultures and nationalities that line and populate its shores are as many as in ancient times when Greek sailors discovered Egypt and Moorish adventurers crossed its waters attempting to conquer Spain and the rest of Europe.


History is the common denominator linking all ports of call throughout a Mediterranean cruise. Each area possesses its own unique look, smell and taste that add to the excitement and anticipation experienced by anyone lucky – or clever – enough to choose any of the major companies operating a Mediterranean cruise line. And, there are several.

Companies offering exciting voyages aboard ships on a Mediterranean cruise include: Holland America, Norwegian, Princess, Celebrity, First European, Star Clipper, Orient, Radisson, Royal Olympic, Seabourn, Silversea, Clipper, Windstar, Costa and Crystal.

Whether dotting along the shores of antiquity in the Holy Land or sailing into a modern-day Italian port, a Mediterranean cruise presents a portal to the past where history is not only considered an important economic commodity but is, in many lands, the engine driving growth and prosperity.

Yet, unlike your predecessors who suffered at times perilous voyages upon its waters, today’s Mediterranean cruiser sails in the luxury of amenity provided in top notch comfort by state of the art vessels roaming it waters and docking along its shores. Any and all companies operating a Mediterranean cruise line take their passengers to some of the most colorful and exotic destinations imaginable but offer a glimpse at what once was.

The number and types of Mediterranean cruise choices are as many as the countries lining its shores, Small concentrated tours could offer a focused choice, for example, Greece and the Greek Isles where another might follow the Italian shore or another would nautically hip-hop across northern Africa. History-charged tours might include a voyage to Egypt to capture the sights of the ancient pyramids while exploring the exotic bazaars of old-town Cairo. Other voyages might take you to the home of Plato and Aristotle where you can walk in their long faded footsteps by Parthenon and Acropolis in Athens. This ancient of ancient port cities still thrives today as a vital trade center destination alive with peoples from all lands, international shopping, top quality restaurants, spectacular museums and amazing ruins keeping it as popular today as it was thousands of years ago.

The list of cities to visit goes on and on from entry near the Atlantic and the medieval ports of Spain along the sun-drenched French Riviera through the remnants of the ancient Roman Empire found all along its shores.
