Mediterranean Cruises

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.

Mediterranean Cruise Ports of Call

Discover some of the world-renowned destinations that await you on a Mediterranean cruise with Princess.

Rooted in Greek mythology, Athens is alive with stories from civilizations of the past. On a cruise to Europe departing from Athens, arrive early to tour the remains of ancient lores — like the Temple of Olympian Zeus and Acropolis — dine at the city’s lively tavernas and admire iconic sculptures bathed in natural light within the Acropolis Museum.

Until it was popularized by the 1992 Olympics, Barcelona was a hidden gem amidst Europe’s diverse landscapes. Now it’s widely recognized for its architectural masterpieces and spirited customs. On European cruises from Barcelona, leave enough time before you depart to visit Park Güell — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — and feel inspired by the colors and unique artistry that lies in the park and throughout the entire city.

As one of the greenest islands in Greece, Corfu is an emerald treasure amidst the colorful Mediterranean landscape. From Paleokastritsa, hike to the mountaintop for unparalleled views of the Ionian Sea. Or get a taste of Corfu when you team up with a famous chef, and handpick local produce that they’ll use to prepare your lunch. Experience it all on a Greek cruise with Princess.

On a Mediterranean cruise to Livorno, travel to Florence or Pisa where artifacts abound. Capture snapshots of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, stop by Michelangelo’s David statue at the Accademia and walk up to the “Gates of Paradise” at the Baptistery. Or explore the countryside and meander through the region’s rolling hills that bear vineyards and green olive groves.

Nestled within Boka Bay lies a medieval gem. Kotor is enrobed in ancient houses, palaces and churches that speak to its 12th-century origins. On a Greek cruise, dine on Montenegrin cuisine in the home of a local chef, appreciate 14th-century Venetian art at St. Tryphon’s Cathedral and taste regional wines along the riviera. Or see another side of the city when you kayak through the tunnels of Lipa Cave.

As the largest port in the Mediterranean, Marseille is the gateway to opportunity. On a Mediterranean cruise, spend the day in Arles, and explore the landscapes that inspired much of Van Gogh’s artwork. Stroll through the MuSaMa, a soap museum, and create your own blend alongside a master soap maker. Or roam the city’s most popular landmark, Notre-Dame de la Garden, a Catholic basilica that overlooks the city.

Famous for its beaches and spirited lifestyle, Mykonos is the heartbeat of Greece. Embark on a jeep safari past the city’s windmills, lighthouses and lakes. Walk past temples and marble-lined sanctuaries in Delos, the birthplace of famous Greek gods. Or soak up a day of relaxation on the beach with the city’s Cycladic architecture as your backdrop — all on a Greek cruise with Princess.

Italy’s capital city is something of a dream. Grand chapels and stone angels line the roads, whispering secrets of Rome’s past. On a cruise to Europe from Rome, arrive early to toss a coin into Trevi Fountain. Legend has it, you’ll be guaranteed return to The Eternal City. Then walk in the footsteps of Emperors at the Colosseum, and receive a blessing from the Pope at St. Peter’s Square.

Santorini is the epitome of Greece. Wander into the welcoming cafes in Oia, a village teeming with whitewashed buildings and blue-domed roofs. Continue to some of the world’s oldest vineyards and taste the bouquet of wines produced on the island, making sure to visit the black-sand beach of Kamari before heading back to your Mediterranean cruise ship.

Why Cruise the Mediterranean

In lands where the culture is as flavorful as the cuisine, the splendor of the Mediterranean speaks for itself.

World-Class Dining

Captivating cuisine

With mouthwatering entrees and confections, the Mediterranean invites you to embark on a gourmet tour through iconic cities. Reawaken your taste buds with Italian classics like pastas, pizzas and gelato. Or fill your plate with gyros, keftethes and baklava on a Greek cruise. From breakfast to dinner and every delectable dessert in between, the best is before you with Princess.

Bold reds and crisp whites

The countryside of Italy and Greece are home to some of the most flavorful wines around the globe. With sun and warm temperatures year-round, vineyards are flourishing with grapes by the harvest season. Sip on Italy’s red wines, or sample Greece’s white blends. From sweet Lambruscos to earthy Bordeauxs, fill up your glass on a Mediterranean cruise with Princess.

Ancient Ruins

Where history comes to life

From towers and temples to cities and shorelines, the Mediterranean is sprinkled with remains of civilizations past. Step back in time on a tour through ancient ruins on a Mediterranean cruise with Princess. Imagine life as a gladiator at the Colosseum, explore Greek mythology at the Parthenon and discover the archeological excavations of Pompeii — a lost city and UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Art Galleries & Museums

Artistic ingenuity abounds

From the treasures on land to the jewels within museums, the Mediterranean is a true work of art. On an Italian cruise, see portraits from the Renaissance period at the Uffizi Museum in Florence, and admire Michelangelo’s masterpieces at the Vatican Museum in Rome. Or walk in the footsteps of celebrated artists that called these regions home — like Picasso and Dali — and allow their work to spark your creativity.

Sun-Kissed Beaches

A vision of natural beauty

Visions of sparkling coasts and crystalline waters welcome you to the Mediterranean. Dip your toes on the black-sand coast of Santorini on a Greek cruise. Head to Salerno to spend the day in Positano relaxing on the white beaches and admiring the pastel houses that decorate the cliffs around you. Or travel to Mykonos with your loved ones and daydream on the city’s long stretch of golden sand and stroll in the sunshine.

Mediterranean excursions

Our award-winning Mediterranean cruise shore excursions bring you to iconic beaches, landmarks and ancient artifacts. See the yacht-lined shores of Kotor while riding on a tuk tuk, an electric rickshaw. Savor the flavors of “Koum Kouat” liqueur, created from Corfu’s exclusive citrus plant. Or stroll along the streets of Dubrovnik’s Old town, one of the most well-preserved medieval cities in the world.

Local connections

From chefs and beverage makers to artists and guides, meet the many personalities that call the Mediterranean home with our Local Connections program. On a Mediterranean cruise, voyage to an olive tree farm just outside of Provence, and join your hosts for a unique olive oil tasting. Or explore the Archaeological Museum of Naples with a local artist, and accompany them for lunch to dive even deeper in Italy’s art scene.

More ashore

Enjoy even more opportunities to experience the colors, cultures and flavors of the Mediterranean with More Ashore late-night departures and overnight stays. Witness the beautiful sunset in Mykonos on a Greek cruise. Sit front-row for a flamenco dance, and savor a paella dinner during an evening in Barcelona. Or stroll the illuminated streets of Genoa with gelato in hand after a traditional Italian dinner.

Curated comfort, world-class entertainment and international flavors await you.

Flavors that inspire

On board most Princess ships, indulge in a pasta dinner at Sabatini’s℠, or savor local seafood at Crown Grill. While ashore, treat yourself to gelato in Italy or churros in Spain. From ship to shore, appease your appetite with one-of-a-kind dining experiences on every Mediterranean cruise itinerary.

Entertainment

ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISE 2024-26 GUIDE

When it comes to planning the ultimate getaway, there are so many reasons why cruise vacations rank among the most popular travel options. First of all, they’re completely stress-free. On a cruise vacation, all the planning is taken care of by the cruise line — from the  destinations  you sail to and the  shore excursions  available at each port, to a full range of  entertainment  and activities happening onboard every day. If you’re not a planner, or if the only things you’re looking to focus on during your getaway is savoring great food, relaxing, and soaking up the sights, cruise vacations are the way to go. A cruise vacation is also a great option if you’re traveling with the whole family, especially when you opt for a Royal Caribbean cruise. All of the ships in this cruise line’s fleet offer family-friendly experiences for guests of all ages. Even little ones will find plenty of ways to play with spaces and activities designed for tots to tweens. One of the top reasons savvy travelers love cruising, though, is because of the incredible value it offers. With Royal Caribbean, your cruise fare includes access to most of the ship’s attractions, select dining venues and all of the entertainment onboard. If you want to make your  experience  even more all-inclusive, you can opt for  beverage  and  specialty dining  packages that cover drinks and dinner at some of the most exclusive restaurants in the fleet. On top of all that, the cruise line presents frequent limited-time offers and seasonal sales, making it easy to score big savings when booking your vacation.

Europe( London) 2025 itineraries?

By mommyx2 , April 5, 2023 in Carnival Cruise Lines

Recommended Posts

Any idea when the 2025 London itineraries will be open for new bookings?

Share on other sites.

Carnival was the last of the major lines to release 2024 itineraries, which they did just a couple months ago.   I don't think any of us know when 2025 will be open for booking, but I wouldn't expect it to be soon. 

CarnivalShips480

2024 Europe was released just a month ago so I'd imagine that 2025 would be early March.

You've got a 9-12 month wait.  As stated, while it was a poorly kept secret that Legend would be the ship, 2024 was just released within the last month or so.

Thank u all

MedCruise_2022

After coming back from a Mediterranean Cruise last October 2022 with Carnival Pride--which was a great and wonderful experience, I wanted to book another European Cruise with Carnival in 2024. It took Carnival time to release their 2024 sailings--so I booked an Oct-Nov 2024 cruise with NCL- from Haifa to Rome with key ports in Cyprus, Turkey, and Greece. I am so looking forward to this cruise--mainly because of the ports that the ship will visit. I, too look forward to Carnival 2025 Europe sailings--hoping to do a B2B for Norway and the Northern European/Baltic counties.

We are waiting to see the Europe itinerary for 2025 as well, we will be doing a land trip to London end of next month for 10 days and are currently in process of booking a land trip for Greece in 2024.  We are tentatively thinking a cruise trip somewhere in Europe (?) and hope the schedule is interesting (not England or Greece routes) for 2025.

Goals!  Big big goals! Maybe in a couple of years.  Ireland and Scotland ports maybe.  But that requires going to London and boarding there.  Is it horribly expensive flying to and from London?

Saw some American ports listed too for other trips. Do you recommend any of those? A girl can dream you know!

We're doing Iceland and the UK from London this summer.  We got non-stop R/T to Heathrow from Chicago at right around $800pp. But they had hovered at $1200pp for months.

As to American ports, what your seeing are the trans Atlantic repos that seasonally get ships to/from the European market from the Caribbean market; very common for HAL, for example.

Excellent! Thats less than I thought. Will prob stick with London. Iceland and UK looks fun! Might plan that one on down the road.  Thank you! You are awesome :)

We are doing land trip to Italy (Venice-Padua/Verona-Florence-Pisa-Cinque Terre this September. Got RT ticket to Venice in January for $900+ (but now tickets hover at $1,500/person). Thought of doing Norway Cruise with Carnival Pride this July, 2023 but airfare to Heathrow was somewhere near $1,500 (or $3,000+ for 2 persons including transfers, etc) - more than the cruise fare!

Thats what I was afraid of! Yikes! Will watch for that, maybe some deal will pop up before I book. 

I happen to see that the Carnival Legend  has the EB 2024 Transatlantic available for booking. It started me thinking as we have the HAL Rotterdam  booked WB for October 2024. One-way airfares are so inflated what was the possibility of a RT flight but originating in Europe? It appears doable but airlines only have fares 355 days in advance so I would need to look again next year.

Speaking of airfares, we (3 of us) are cruising with MSC in September to the British Isles. I would just about daily since last Fall check airfares for IAD to cities that would work as we are sailing from Hamburg. It looked as if we would need to fly Icelandair as it was the cheapest. Even that was hovering at $2,400 Economy Standard that required a change of plane in Reyjkavik. We had flown SAS back in 2017 for a Baltic cruise and enjoyed it so I made sure to always check them. They were around $3,700 - $4,500 depending on the day unfortunately for their Premium Economy. In mid -January I happen to check the SAS site - and found our RT flights for the three of us at $2,211.00 for Premium Economy! Whipped out the credit card and secured our reservation right then.

Since that day I have never again seen it so low, and right now it is at $5,700. One day it was at $7,500!!! If you are doing your own booking instead of a travel agent, it pays to do a bit of homework. Because airlines use dynamic pricing now I have found it better to check in the morning. An example was our flight in 2017 on SAS. When I checked the flight in the morning I had found that for around $50.00 I could add a flight CPH-BGO (Bergen, Norway). But I needed to check with my wife and by the time I spoke to her the difference was no $400.00.

Any guess which Carnival ship will be in Europe for 2025...maybe Venezia?

It is Legend again. It’s on port schedules for Le Havre, Porto, Piraeus and Reykjavik. Other ports don’t have 2025 posted but looks like much of the same.

JH said Venezia is returning to NYC after its season in Florida for summer 2025, unless they shuffle ships around. 

In the past, they *usually* came out about December or January a year-and-a-half in advance.  So, summer 2025 would come out in December of this year. However, they were a little earlier one year and much later this year.  So, really, no one knows but I wouldn't even start looking until November or December.

I don't think Carnival will be in Norway anymore, but someone can correct me.  They aren't in Norway  in 2024.  Environmental regulations for the Norwegian Fjords changed in 2024 so I don't think Carnival's older ships meet them. 

As an aside, I am really wanting to take a cruise to Egypt and the Holy Land in 2025 and wish HAL, MSC and Royal would come out with their summer cruises.

And, yes, I know it will be hot in the summer but no hotter than where I am coming from which is actually about the same distance from the equator as the pyramids...only we have humidity to make it worse.

It is likely (although still hoping Carnival would do Norway again in 2025). I think the 2023 Carnival sailing to Norway returned to Dover yesterday-- it covered 8-9 Norway ports!!! Now looking at NCL either May or September 2025 for a 10-day Iceland (3 ports)-Norway (3 ports) plus Brussels and Amsterdam cruise. Still on the fence...

Well, Legend is still listed on the Piraeus and Le Havre port websites so it must be a placeholder for Pride or Miracle at this point.

Isn't the requirement to be emission free by Jan 1, 2026 to sail in the Norwegian Fjords?

• Things To Do

Thira’s the capital of the island of Santorini, and the town features a landscape of beautiful whitewashed Cycladic buildings, many iconically topped with blue domes — and all built right into the side of plunging cliffs. Such drama! Such beauty! And with views such as these, it might be hard to believe that there’s more to Santorini than its incredible photo ops. But explore deeper, because the island is packing more serious stuff, such as a winery with some of the world’s oldest vineyards, beaches decked out with spectacular black sand and even a pair of offshore islands crafted long ago by volcanic eruptions. Did we mention that back in the ’60s, archaeologists uncovered remains of a Bronze Age city that some people believe could have been Atlantis? Honestly, who knows — but really, why wouldn’t Atlanteans want to live in beautiful Santorini?

7 amazing cruise itineraries to book in 2024

I don't know about you, but each year, as the weather turns cold, I start daydreaming about getting out of Dodge — or, in my case, Pennsylvania. My mind wanders to cruises that will take me to places where the temperature is warmer, but I also take a hard look at the (exceptionally lengthy) list of places I'm longing to visit.

After digging through what's new for 2024, I've come up with a shortlist of sailings that I think are noteworthy. They range from a standard Bahamas voyage with a new twist and an extended Alaska sailing that includes a foray across the Arctic Circle to more far-flung destinations in the Asia-Pacific region.

Dream on, dear reader, and add these to your list of 2024 cruise itineraries.

Note: All prices listed are per person, based on double occupancy, unless otherwise noted. Fares do not include taxes and fees.

Seabourn's 'Kimberley Expedition: Waterfalls and Wandjinas' itinerary

Last year, the Australia and New Zealand cruise region gained momentum following the pandemic shutdown. In 2024, the hardly populated Australia region of The Kimberley is gaining popularity. Luxury cruise brand Seabourn will be offering a series of six 10-night voyages between Broome and Darwin on expedition vessel Seabourn Pursuit during what will be early winter in the southern hemisphere.

The line's " Kimberley Expedition: Waterfalls and Wandjinas " will take passengers to places along the coast few passengers are able to visit to see the stunning teal waters and horizontal waterfalls of Talbot Bay, sample wines in the Hunter River Region and check out nature preserves in Wyndham.

Details: The first sailing, from Darwin to Broome, embarks on June 12. The final voyage, from Broome to Darwin, departs on Aug. 1. Prices start from $6,134 per person ($613 per person, per night), double occupancy, for the July 2 cruise. All accommodations are suites with balconies.

Celebrity's 'Best of Japan' and 'Vietnam and Thailand' cruises

The number of voyages in Asia was trending upward notably prior to 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic brought cruising in the region to an extended halt. And it's once again on the rise. Following that curve, Celebrity Cruises will be running new 11- to 13-night Asia sailings in 2024 on two ships — Celebrity Millennium and Celebrity Solstice — that bring stops in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Thailand.

What's notable about the offerings is that they will aim to immerse passengers further into the destinations by including overnights in a total of 11 ports across all itineraries. That means more time to explore Hanoi's Old Quarter as the sun sets, indulge in nighttime gastronomy in Hong Kong, visit one of Bangkok's many markets, or learn why Osaka is known for street food.

Details: Celebrity Millennium's " Best of Japan " cruises run from early mid-March to early October. At press time, the least expensive fares — for a 12-night sailing — start from $1,330 per person ($111 per person, per night) for an inside cabin. It travels round-trip from Yokohama and visits Hiroshima, Pusan and other ports, including Osaka, where the ship will overnight.

Celerbrity Solstice's Vietnam and Thailand cruises kick off in mid-January and run through March. The ship will resume them again in the fall of 2024 and run through the winter season. Prices start from $1,255 per person ($105 per person, per night) for an inside cabin. The voyage sails from Hong Kong to Singapore with stops in Da Nang and Koh Samui, plus overnights in Hanoi and Bangkok.

SeaDream's 'Yachting the Adriatic & Greek Isles' sailing

Here's one to put on your radar if you're looking to book — but not necessarily sail — in 2024. It's a new Mediterranean itinerary that doesn't start up for nearly three more years, in 2026. The SeaDream routing brings stops at seven ports that are rarely visited by cruise passengers. During the seven-night voyages, there will be calls at Primosten, Croatia; Cesme, Turkey; Cetubal, Portugal; and Kythira, Kythnos, Syvota and Tinos, Greece — making these sailings unique and well-suited to anyone who loves the region but who's looking for new places to experience.

SeaDream's small ships, each of which carries just 112 people, are able to reach locales about which passengers on megaships can only fantasize. Couple that with excellent service, and you'll be visiting the Our Lady of Loretto statue in Primosten, touring the Cesme Castle and lounging on stunning Greek beaches from a home base that puts you squarely in the lap of luxury.

Details: An itinerary that includes three of the seven new ports is the 11-night " Yachting the Adriatic & Greek Isles " itinerary from Venice, Italy, to Athens, Greece, departing on Aug. 8, 2026, on SeaDream I. Prices start from $10,399 per person ($946 per person, per night) for a room with a porthole view.

Holland America's 'Alaska Arctic Circle Solstice' Legendary Voyage

Alaska is an absolute must for anyone who enjoys the vastness of untouched wilderness, the wildlife it houses and adventurous pursuits it provides. (Think whale-watching, hiking on glaciers and salmon fishing.) However, Holland America 's Westerdam is hosting a 28-day sailing that's anything but your standard cruise to the Last Frontier .

Passengers will visit the usual Alaska ports, such as Ketchikan, Sitka and Juneau, with scenic sailing through the Inside Passage, past Hubbard Glacier and to Glacier Bay. But they can also expect less-common stops at places like Nome, Kodiak, Anchorage (with an overnight) and Homer. Plus, about halfway through, this cruise crosses the Arctic Circle — a rite of passage for many travelers.

Details: Holland America's 28-day " Alaska Arctic Circle Solstice " cruise — one of the line's Legendary Voyages, known for longer durations and a unique mix of port calls — sails June 9-July 7, round-trip from Seattle. Inside cabins start from $5,299 per person (about $189 per person, per night).

Silversea's summertime French Polynesia cruises

Another consideration for future travel is Silversea Cruises , which is featuring its first full-summer season in French Polynesia in 2026. Silver Whisper will offer two immersive itineraries, including overnights, across 17 voyages between April and September.

Passengers can choose seven-night sailings that visit idyllic favorites like Tahiti, Moorea and Huahine and which also include overnights in Bora Bora. Or, they can cruise for twice as long by selecting a 14-night voyage that calls on the same ports as the seven-night option but with Fakarava, Nuku Hiva, Fatu Hiva, Atuona and Tahuata added.

Details: Silversea's seven-night voyages begin April 6, 2026, and start from $5,650 per person ($808 per person, per night) for an ocean-view cabin.

The line's 14-night sailings start on April 20, 2026. Fares start from $10,450 per person ($747 per person, per night) for ocean-view accommodations.

New Bermuda voyages on Carnival Venezia

Beginning in May of 2025, Carnival Cruise Line 's Carnival Venezia will sail a series of eight four- and five-night cruises to Bermuda from New York. These itineraries are notable because the line is aiming to increase its presence there but also because the style of the ship is new to even most of the brand's most dedicated passengers.

In 2022, Carnival announced its Costa by Carnival concept after revealing it would be transferring ships from its Costa sister brand to the Carnival fleet. Now, when travelers visit the Gibb's Hill Lighthouse or check out the island's renowned pink-sand beaches during a sailing on Carnival Venezia, they can enjoy both the Italian style of the ship and Carnival's fun atmosphere and high service standards.

Details: Voyages kick off on May 22, 2025. Prices start from $429 per person ($108 per person, per night) for an inside cabin on a four-night cruise departing Sept. 18, 2025.

Disney Cruise Line's Lighthouse Point itineraries

The island will feature a dedicated family beach and water play area, an arts and culture pavilion focused on Bahamian culture, 20 family cabanas, an adults-only beach and a selection of shore excursion options.

Details: Prices for itineraries that include Lighthouse Point start from $624 per person ($208 per person, per night) for a three-night cruise on Disney Magic. The cruise departs Nov. 5 and sails from Fort Lauderdale's Port Everglades to San Juan, Puerto Rico.
