Mediterranean
Discover the Mediterranean
Explore hidden coves of the Greek Isles, call on yacht-filled harbors of the French and Italian rivieras, and sail into the heart of historic cities like Spain’s Seville and the Old Town of Dubrovnik. Excursions ashore immerse you in history, art and natural beauty while also offering unique opportunities to explore the local culinary and wine cultures — a fascinating and delicious way to experience any destination.
Regions of the Mediterranean
Harbors of French Riviera gems like Saint-Tropez and Nice compete with Spain’s Balearic Islands for the most glamorous beaches. The rich naval history of Toulon and the striking architecture of Barcelona offer equal intrigue. Just beyond the Mediterranean shores, Portugal’s handsome capital of Lisbon and enchanting coastal villages await.
From Santorini to Mykonos to Crete, iconic whitewashed villages line the beaches and climb the cliffs of the Greek Isles. On the mainland, explore the origins of Western civilization at Athens’ hilltop Acropolis or the site of the first Olympics near Katakolon. Across the Aegean, you’ll find the grand city of Istanbul and the resort towns on the Turquoise Coast.
Italy’s wonders range from the impossibly scenic Amalfi Coast and island of Capri to the historic icons of Rome and the Renaissance gem of Florence. To the east along the Adriatic Sea, set sail for the canals of Venice, the stunning fjord-like waterways of Montenegro and UNESCO-listed walled cities of the Dalmatian Coast.
Expedition Experience: Epicurean
The Mediterranean diet is renowned as one of the healthiest and most flavorful in the world, and the region’s ancient vineyards are some of the most revered. Diving into the culinary and wine cultures of the Mediterranean is uniquely rewarding, especially because the fresh ingredients and traditional recipes vary widely from one country — and one city — to the next. Epicurean Expeditions enhance each Mediterranean voyage with a Gastronomic Guest or Visiting Vintner on board and excursions ashore that let you explore through the lens of cuisine and wine.
Featured Ports of Call
This quaint town sits on a shoreline so scenic that it’s designated a UNESCO World Heritage site, so explore the Amalfi Coast to discover photogenic cliffside villages and sea caverns sheltering emerald grottoes.
