Things to Do on Mediterranean Cruises
Greece is considered by some to be the cradle of modern civilization, and you could argue that the cultures and people of the Mediterranean as a whole have created some of the world's most sustaining landmarks, organizations and customs. From Greece you have the concept of healthcare from Hippocrates, Rome is the home of the Catholic Church and Egypt has the great and mystical Pyramids. A cruise here is perfect for anyone seeking revelry and enlightenment. Featured below are a handful of great ways to make the most of your time on one of our Mediterranean Cruises.
- Travel in style on a romantic gondola ride on Venice's Grand Canal. Bonus points if you time your trip for the sunset. Venice, a city built on water, is unlike any other and offers travelers expansive squares, churches and beautiful art collections.
- Enter a construction site as you discover La Sagrada Familia Church, a huge church that was designed by Antoni Gaudi in the center of Barcelona! The church has been in construction since 1882 and recently, plans were announced to complete the iconic chapel in 2026. Sailings for Mediterranean cruises are not available that far out, but it certainly would be something to see it while under construction and completed, 150 years after beginning. Let's plan for now and then!
- Try the food. Mediterranean cruises are sought after the world over for the eclectic cuisine. In Spain, try the tapas or paella. When cruising through Italy, you’d be remiss if you didn’t get pizza from Naples, its birthplace. In Greece, start your day off with a hearty tzatziki dish and go from there. One thing you can never have enough of is olive oil.
- Be inspired by the beautiful coastline of France's Cote d'Azur, the Greek Isles or Spain's Canary Islands. Despite having major cities, the Mediterranean also has beautiful beaches for relaxing and rejuvenating your spirit.
- Look up - it’s not a bird, it’s not the sky, it’s the painting of Michelangelo. At least that’s what you’ll see if you raise your head during a visit to the Sistine Chapel, which in itself is a work of art. Many Mediterranean cruises even include priority access to the Vatican!
- Summon the power of Zeus, the leader of the Greek gods, as you visit the Acropolis, an ancient city that sits high on a hill in Athens. This is where you’ll find the Parthenon and the Temple of Athena Nike, but these are just a sample of the incredible sights and flavors of special Mediterranean cruises that focus on the Greek Isles.
