A Mediterranean Cruise is the ideal way to see Europe, whether you’ve never been before or you’re a seasoned traveler. With a multitude of options available, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the possibilities. Southern Europe is a sparkling gem full of historical sites, fantastic food, sublime wines, and art galore. So how does one even begin to choose what to see?

We suggest starting with our absolute, hands-down favorite itinerary for touring the Mediterranean region of Europe- a 14-day cruise from Barcelona to Rome. This cruise combines the best of two worlds- land excursions in some of the most beautiful locations in Spain, France, and Italy and a home base of operations that moves with you. So unpack your bags, kick back (between ports), and relax while you take in the beauty of Mediterranean Europe.

This 14-day journey from Barcelona to Rome will take you through the beautiful and historic cities of Valencia, Ibiza, Palma de Mallorca, Palamos, Toulon, Nice, and more! Cruise through some of Europe’s most picturesque regions-Tuscany and Corsica-and experience some of Italy’s best food in Amalfi on your Mediterranean Cruise.

If architecture is your passion, you are in for a treat. You’ll experience everything from ancient Roman to gothic architecture to the dreamlike works of Antoni Gaudi on this trip. Art museums featuring some of history’s greatest artists abound, and you can’t miss the opportunity to shop at the French open-air markets.

This itinerary features a visit to the birthplace of Napolean Bonaparte in Ajaccio and explores the enigmatic remnants of the ancient Nuraghic culture of Sardinia. If you are looking for some natural beauty, a day trip to the Crateri Silvestri of Mount Etna in Sicily does not disappoint. The Crateri Silvestri were created by a volcanic eruption in 1892 and offer fantastic views of neighboring Catania.

We’ve traveled the world, and this itinerary is by far our favorite way to experience southern Europe. It has a little bit of everything to suit just about anyone’s palate for adventure. From art to fine wine, quaint farming towns to fishing villages, ancient history to modern architecture, this tour covers it all without you ever having to worry about where you’ll lay your head. So bring your favorite pair of walking shoes and explore southern Europe!
