Posted on 10/16/2023

A lifetime of memories awaits aboard a European cruise in the Mediterranean. With short cruises or long journeys, you can immerse yourself in the rich history, culture, and cuisines of Spain, France, Greece, Italy, and more.  

There's plenty to explore, from world-famous attractions in Greece, such as the Acropolis and La Plaka in Athens, to smaller coastal towns with picturesque harbors like Corfu, Santorini, or Mykonos. Head to Katakolon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to the first Olympic Games, to experience Greece's ancient history firsthand.  

Sail to Italy, and discover famous destinations like Rome, where you can experience scenic parks, traditional cuisine, and ancient sites like the Trevi Fountain. Take some time to visit Trieste and marvel at the Miramare Castle, Livorno – the gateway to Florence and Pisa.  

Visit Croatia, also included in many cruise itineraries, and enjoy its preserved Roman and medieval monuments, charming villages, pristine beaches, and natural parks for an enriching and immersive cruise vacation. Don't miss the chance to visit Dubrovnik, known as the 'Pearl of the Adriatic,' with its captivating old town center—a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Whether you desire to immerse yourself in the streets and history of Croatia, Greece, and Turkey in the Eastern Mediterranean or indulge in delicious Spanish tapas or authentic French crepes in the Western Mediterranean, MSC Cruises offers a wide range of itineraries departing from various ports to fulfill your dream cruise vacation.
