Once the centre of the Western world, the Mare Nostrum, as the Romans called it, retains its undeniable power of attraction. Certainly, today, the myth of a Mediterranean civilization turned towards a Middle Kingdom has lived on. But this azure sea is still one of the favourite destinations for cruise passengers. A land of history, gastronomy and culture, the Mediterranean seduces with its many facets. From the most intrepid travellers to lovers of good food, everyone agrees on its sublime natural charms, its pleasant climate all year round and its diversity of heritage - half of the world's archaeological heritage is found in the Mediterranean basin. Both western and eastern, this inland sea - medi terra in Latin - brings together various cultures, side by side, face to face, even intertwined, linked by identical roots.
Sail towards the Latin shores, reach the vibrant Barcelona or the eternal Rome; sail in the heart of the mythical Cyclades, to the borders of the Middle East; embrace the Holy Land in Jerusalem and let yourself be invaded by faith; finally, reach the Maghreb, through Tangier or Oran, where Mediterranean intellectual emulation does not wane. The peoples of the Mediterranean offer themselves to you, rich in their diversity and common points, under an unaltered blue sky
While cruises in general are on the rise, those destined for the Mediterranean are increasingly popular. Costa Croisières and MSC Croisières operate year-round in the region, while other companies launch their programming from April to October or for the summer period. To choose the right service provider and boat, the Webcroisieres.com site, one of the leading sites in the field, offers nearly 855 cruises in the Mediterranean between 2018 and 2019. You can access via the site mini-cruises of the 4-day type from Marseille, Nice or Genoa or longer stays of 8 days/7 nights. Make your choice!
