Looking for a cruise to Italy or a Greek Islands cruise? The Mediterranean has numerous advantages over other cruising areas, with its diversity of cultures, peoples, languages and history. There are so many ports ideally suited to cruise passengers, with something to interest everyone, in most cases situated close to where the ship docks. Nowhere else can such an array of culture and history be found in such a relatively small area. While the weather from Spring through the Autumn is almost invariably ideal, even in the winter months the weather is generally very mild. There is nowhere else on earth where one can cruise to so many different countries within a short period of time and to sample as many flavors, cultures and retrace the footsteps of history as one can in the Mediterranean. Luckily for cruise passengers, the choice and range of ships on which to so travel are getting wider each year!

Cruise Tour Planners Cunard Mediterranean Cruises The majority of Mediterranean cruises sail between May and October, with some lines offering itineraries in late April or early November as well. Costa is one of the few lines that offer departures to this region all year round. The French Riviera, the romantic seaside towns of Italy, the great treasures of ancient Greece - these are just a few of the destinations you'll discover on a sunny Mediterranean cruise. Eastern & Western Mediterranean High Season: May - August; Both European and American families flock to many of the summer sailing dates (especially August), making for a nice cultural mix of passengers. Low/Shoulder Season: March - April; September - November; The weather is ideal in late spring and early fall (note: November can be rainy in some areas of the Mediterranean), and great deals can be found Western Mediterranean: These itineraries focus on Italy's west coast (with ports such as Rome and Florence), France's glittering Cote d'Azur, coastal Spain (from Barcelona east to Cadiz/Seville) and Portugal (Lisbon). Western Mediterranean voyages visit major cities in Spain, France, and Italy, as well as more exotic locations such as Monte Carlo and Dubrovnik. Eastern Mediterranean: Eastern Mediterranean itineraries focus on Greece and Turkey and the islands of the Aegean Sea. . Embarkation and disembarkation points are commonly located in places like Piraeus (for Athens), Venice and Istanbul. Queen Elizabeth Our newest liner, Queen Elizabeth. Recalling the rich heritage of the first Cunarder to bear the name, her elegance both echos that legendary age and enhances her luxurious modern allure. The harmony of classic and contemporary strikes an elegant chord throughout this magnificent ship. Images and features from her predecessors, Queen Elizabeth and QE2, sit comfortably alongside her modern charm. Queen Victoria Relish the contemporary sophistication and timeless elegance of her magnificent venues such as the soaring Grand Lobby, where you will feel as if you’ve stepped back to a more sophisticated era. Or the spectacular Royal Court Theatre featuring the first-at-sea private boxes bringing you unobstructed views of entertaining productions. 90,000 tons, 2000 guests, 12 decks. If pampering is your priority, give yourself over to rejuvenating spa therapies and revitalising beauty treatments in the Cunard Royal Spa and Fitness Centre. When discovery calls, compare regional subtleties in wine-tasting classes in the Midships Lounge or expand your expertise with an engaging guest speaker. In sunny climes, saunter outdoors onto 10,000 square feet of glorious open deck. Challenge yourself to a length or two of the outdoor pool before tea. Or dive into an enthralling novel - picked from the Library's nearly 6,000 titles. Later the curtain rises on sparkling entertainment. The splendid Royal Court Theatre seats 830 and has the first private boxes at sea. Then waltz on the beautifully crafted dance floor beneath the Queens Room's glittering chandeliers.
