Eastern Mediterranean Cruising

Combine intriguing history, rich cultures, delicious food and breathtaking scenery with the warm Mediterranean summer sun and you have the recipe for a perfect Eastern Mediterranean cruise. Settle into your stateroom onboard a beautifully appointed cruise ship and watch the deep blue waters of the Med float by as you set sail in this spectacular region. Stop in cities like Croatia’s Dubrovnik, where Medieval architecture hugs the coast and ascends into the verdant hillsides. See the Roman ruins in Split and discover the heritage in the hidden bay of Kotor, Montenegro. Greece’s Corfu has long been an important island between western and eastern Mediterranean traders and powers, and today offers a gateway to the wonders of ancient Greece, as well as plenty of delightful options for food and drink. Enjoy the marvels of the Med on your Eastern Mediterranean cruise.
