The Mediterranean is a very versatile destination that allows you to visit it all year-round. In winter the itineraries allow you to visit beautiful cities rich in museums, charming historic centers and monuments, while in summer you can also hiking on the beach. Summer is usually the most popular and crowded period, we recommend June and September for a Mediterranean Cruise because the weather is milder, prices lower and availability on board greater.

The Western Mediterranean is an ideal destination for cruise travelers. Cruise ships that sail on the Western Mediterranean generally depart from major Italian ports such as Genoa, Savona, Livorno, Civitavecchia, Naples or Palermo.
