Helpful Tips to Know Before You Go

• The warmest months to cruise the Mediterranean are spring to autumn, with summer having the sunniest days in many of these beautiful destinations. Make sure to come prepared with suncream and weather-appropriate clothing if you're cruising at the height of the season.
• Some on-shore attractions will be very popular, especially in the summer months when tourism is at a high. To avoid disappointment, research ahead of time to see if it's possible to book these in advance.
• There are many incredible things to see around the various cities you'll visit. Accordingly, be sure to pack comfortable walking shoes, and clothes that will be comfortable and cool. 
• Make sure to take Euros for use on shore for exploring your ports and chosen excursions. You won't want to waste your valuable exploration time at a bank!
• While the summer months of July and August boast the best weather, they also tend to be more crowded due to summer tourism. Decide for yourself whether the weather is worth it, or if you'd prefer to cruise earlier or later in the year.

Things to Do

• Explore magnificent cultural wonders. Many of the ports you'll stop at, such as Athens, Barcelona, Livorno and others are renowned for history or local sights. Visit the Colosseum in Rome, photograph the iconic canals of Venice, take in the gorgeous colours of Kefalonia, and so much more.
• Sample local cuisine. The places you'll be calling at each boast a rich and delicious culinary tradition all of their own, and on your cruise, you'll want to try it all. From fine French cooking to Italian, Greek and Spanish dishes, there'll be no shortage of amazing local foods to enjoy.
• Take advantage of iconic experiences. There's so much to discover, from visiting local UNESCO heritage sites to checking out unmissable activities unique to certain ports. You can take a gondola across the waterways of Venice, tour the walled Old Town of Majorca, walk around Malta's picturesque Valetta... Whatever you choose, you'll have an amazing time.
• Enjoy the beach. No cruise around the Mediterranean would be complete without taking advantage of the incredible beaches at so many of your ports of call. Soft sandy shores beckon at Ibiza, Corfu, Sicily and more, with perfect crystalline waters providing the ideal place to cool off. If you're eager to explore the water more closely, investigate local boating trips and tours, scuba diving, and more.
• Marvel at the beauty of the Mediterranean. The islands and shores you set foot upon boast some of the most gorgeous scenery in the world, from dramatic seaside cliffs and caves to the volcano at Mount Etna, with jewel-bright waters to be admired in every port. Anyone who appreciates the wonders of nature will be in good stead with cruises to the Mediterranean.
