Western

Mediterranean

Balearic Islands (Spain) Cruise

Due to its strategic position on the Mediterranean, the archipelago of the Balearics has had its far share of invasions over the years: Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs and Catalan-Aragonese. The constant change of power has very much contributed to forging the look and character of the islands. Minorca, Mallorca and most of all Ibiza and Formentera today are the party islands par excellence, among the most popular destinations in Spain.

 

 

Corsica (France) Cruise

Proud of its origins and jealous of its independence, Corsica is inhabited by people who love the wild beauty of its rugged scenery. In the 17th Century the Genoese made it one of their outposts on their trade routes; their presence in Corsica was so significant that in some parts of the island a dialect is spoken that is related to the old Genoese dialect.

 

 

France Cruise

Superlative and picturesque, sophisticated and simple: there is a lot to be said about this great nation that combines Northern European cosmopolitan chic with the sunny atmosphere of the Mediterranean. The northern coasts on the North Sea are as hard and severe as the sea itself; in contrast, the south is as joyful and colorful as the deep blue Mediterranean.

 

 

Italy Cruise

History, culture, art: every city reflects the intricate history that has always made Italy so special for visitors. This peninsula, with a deep blue sea on three sides, boasts a rich gastronomic tradition, a great variety of landscapes and a warm hospitality that is common to this "people of saints, poets and navigators”, the Italians, from north to south.

 

 

Malta Cruise

The Maltese archipelago, made up of Malta, Gozo and the little island of Comino, is located in the middle of ideal currents, between the coast of North Africa and Sicily. The Greeks thought that this sun-blessed beauty was of divine origin. The Order of the Knights of Malta, one of the most powerful institutions of the Middle Ages, left important artistic and architectural remains on the island.

 

 

Spain Cruise

Imagine the vividness of the colors yellow and red, the local pride and the intensity of a culture that once experienced the thrill of discovering faraway lands: Spain is all this and much more. Culture, passion, hospitality and an amazing sense of knowing how to have a good time: every Spanish city, on the coasts or on the islands, inland or in the center of the country, provides a truly unique and thrilling experience.

 

 

Tunisia Cruise

The fascinating cultural make-up of Tunisia is the product of a long history of domination: Phoenicians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs, Ottomans and French all left their mark on this country, which is a gateway to the Sahara. Its beautiful beaches and archaeological sites every year attract tourists from all over the world, enchanted by the wonderful scenery and the hospitality of the people.

 

 

EASTERN

Mediterranean

Croatia Cruise

In Croatia the influence of the Republic of Venice can be felt everywhere, in the landscapes, monuments and cultural heritage left by the Venetians that the subsequent Turkish domination did not destroy. The beauty of the countryside combines with the rich artistic heritage of many of the cities, some of which are protected by UNESCO, such as the historical center of Trogir or beautiful Dubrovnik.

 

 

Cyprus Cruise

The island has two souls: one where copper is processed, the etymology of which, cuprum, is said to be the origin of the name Cyprus, and the other linked to the myth of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who, legend has it, was born from this sea. Cyprus enchants with the beauty of its landscapes and the unusual dual nature of its culture - both Greek and Turkish - that has forged the traditions and history of this beautiful island.

 

 

Egypt Cruise

The ancient and mysterious charm of Egypt attracts tourists from all over the world. Among them are those who love the vibrant capital, Cairo, the overwhelming beauty of the desert, the enigma of the Sphinx and the sheer size of the Pyramids. Egypt has universal appeal for everybody, with historical treasures and breathtaking scenery.

 

 

Greece Cruise

The cradle of one of the most important civilizations in history, Greece undoubtedly has some of the most stunning archaeological sites in the world. And the boundary between history and myth is blurred. In Greece, every place has a story to tell about its own mythical origins, brought about by the whimsical wish of those gods who live in the Greek mountains.

 

 

Israel Cruise

Israel is a country in the Near East, situated between the Mediterranean Sea and the Syro-Arabian desert. Its geographical borders are the Mediterranean Sea to the west, the Jordan Valley cleft to the east, the mountains of Lebanon to the north and the Bay of Eilat, which marks the southern border of the country. Despite the smallness of its territory, Israel’s landscape and climate are extremely varied and population density affects neither the richness of its flora and fauna nor the natural attractions that embellish the country. The mystic charm emanating from this land is incredible and makes it very hard not to fall under its spell.

 

 

Italy Cruise

History, culture, art: every city reflects the intricate history that has always made Italy so special for visitors. This peninsula, with a deep blue sea on three sides, boasts a rich gastronomic tradition, a great variety of landscapes and a warm hospitality that is common to this "people of saints, poets and navigators”, the Italians, from north to south.

 

 

Libya Cruise

At a first glance, Libya looks like nothing more than a desert land. But on closer inspection, this North African nation, once inhabited by Greeks, Phoenicians and Romans, reveals its true character. The capital, Tripoli, with its numerous mosques, has a lively and colourful souk and offers a peaceful view over the Mediterranean Sea.

 

 

Romania Cruise

Romania’s landscape is a mix of castles and monasteries with green plateaus and beautiful beaches on the shores of the Black Sea. The Romanian coastline is the main tourist attraction. Significant archaeological sites and ancient cities are located nearby such as Histria and Adamclisi, as well as woodlands on the southern part of the coastline.

 

 

Turkey Cruise

Traditionally considered the westernmost outreach of Asia, Turkey is a hospitable, welcoming and seductive country, offering a thousand different sides, from the golden sandy beaches to the noisy and colorful bazaars. Stupendous mosques evoke stories of harems and sultans, while archaeological treasures tell of great ancient civilizations that were born here.

 

 

Ukraine Cruise

A young independent state, the Ukraine is a nation that is proud of its own identity and language, so much so that the Ukrainian language was not lost even during the years of Soviet rule. The country boasts a rich and fascinating history, beautiful cities such as Kiev and cultural capitals such as Odessa, as well as countless opportunities to appreciate the Ukrainian artistic heritage.
