Princess Mediterranean Cruises

One of the most popular Princess Cruises is a luxurious voyage which coasts along the golden shores of the Mediterranean. Most trips last between twelve to nineteen days and include stops in France, Greece, Italy, Spain, and Turkey. Ports throughout the dreamy Greek Isles are also usually included in the voyage. Islands like Corfu, Mykonos, and Santorini will give you a taste of the Mediterranean lifestyle. Now just might be the perfect time to get away from it all on a Mediterranean cruise.

Princess Cruises offer a mix of old-time tradition with all of the modern amenities and conveniences you expect on a luxury cruise. All of the cuisine, entertainment, and recreation are planned to cater to passengers of all ages, abilities, and personalities. One of the highlights of a Princess cruise are the professional performers that take the stage in the showrooms and lounges.

A Mediterranean, or Greek Island, cruise is the perfect way to recharge your batteries or rekindle a dwindling romance. The romance of Venice and the excitement of Monte Carlo will be too much to resist -- even the most jaded travelers find themselves swept away by the excitement of it all. Walking among the ancient ruins of Athens is sure to inspire as you explore the birthplace of western civilization. Beyond the history and culture you will find yourself in awe of the natural beauty that is everywhere in the Mediterranean.

Upcoming Mediterranean cruises include a mix of popular voyages from past years and new shorter cruises for people who don't have as much time to travel. These new cruises are seven days and are designed to offer a trip brimming with history, culture, and relaxation. If you have even less time but still want to sample the richness of the region there are now two day excursions into Egypt and Israel. These two day trips are organized to pack in as much history and culture as possible in a short time. If all you have is two days these excursions will amaze you with all of the discovery and sightseeing you will be able to fit in.

Athens, Greece

Any trip to the Mediterranean wouldn't be complete without a stop in Athens. The architectural wonders, the history, and climate will draw you back year after year.

Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona is another must see on any trip to the Mediterranean. This bustling, modern city is packed with art, culture and history.

Monte Carlo, Monaco

Monte Carlo is playground to the rich and famous for good reason. It has grand resorts, glittering casinos, and breathtaking natural beauty.

Venice, Italy

Venice cannot be missed if you are traveling through the Mediterranean. It is still the world's most romantic city -- the canals, gondoliers, bridges, and architecture are sure to make you swoon.

Another popular cruise through the Mediterranean is a twelve day cruise which takes in the Greek Isles. This cruise travels from Rome to Venice and stops in Athens, Corfu, Florence, Monte Carlo, Mykonos, Monte Carlo, Katakolon, Kusadasi, and Santorini. This cruise is a relaxing voyage that combines culture and history with the clear, blue waters of the Mediterranean.

If you have more time you might consider a two week, round trip voyage which sets sail from Southampton, England and takes you through the Mediterranean stopping in beautiful cities like Barcelona, Corsica, Gibraltar, Malaga, Monte Carlo, Naples, and Rome.
