The Mediterranean region truly offers something for everyone: great sights, shopping, beaches, museums, a diversity of Cultural and natural attractions, and a decent climate.
The Mediterranean cruise ports are close together, meaning you can visit several in a limited period of time; the seas relatively calm; the opportunities interesting and diverse. Europe has a seafaring tradition that goes back to ancient times - you can even chose an itinerary that follows the exact route of the ancient mariners - so it is any wonder a European, Mediterranean cruise sounds so exciting and romantic.
A Mediterranean Cruise is also one of the most practical, comfortable, and economical ways to see Europe. You only have to unpack ones, your floating hotel takes you different ports in different countries, and you don\'t need to deal with hassle of getting around Europe by plane or train.
A downside to Mediterranean cruise is that you might not have as much time as you\'d like in port to experience the local culture, although some cruise lines overnight in cities like Venice, Monte Carlo and Istanbul, and smaller cruise ships may overnight in smaller cities. The Mediterranean cruise lines do their best, through their organized shore excursions, to get passengers to the major sights. If you\'d rather sit at a cafe and check out the local scene than do an organized tour, you can just head off an your own. We have found that when cruising in Europe it\'s best to think of your cruise as a sampler package. If you fall in love with a European city, plan on visiting again later.
