Mediterranean Cruise Highlights with APT Luxury Travel
A New Wonder Every Day
A small ship luxury cruise of the Mediterranean reveals Europe’s fascinating contrasts – from the southern coast of France to the Spanish isle of Menorca and the island chains of Greece. One day you may be exploring Corsica, birthplace of Napoleon; the next, sampling Sardinian wines at a family-run estate. Traveling from Barcelona to Istanbul, your APT cruise unfolds as a sequence of distinctive regional encounters.
History You Can Feel
A luxury Mediterranean cruise offers rare access to the civilizations that shaped the Western world. Walk the Acropolis in Athens, rising above a city pivotal to Western history and thought. Visit Syracuse in Sicily, once the largest city of the ancient Mediterranean. In Turkey, explore Ephesus, where theaters, libraries, and public squares reveal daily life in the Roman Empire with striking clarity.
Istanbul: Where Continents Converge
At the beginning or end of your cruise around the Mediterranean, Istanbul invites deeper exploration. Visit Topkapi Palace, navigate the Grand Bazaar’s maze of stalls, admire the domed interior of Hagia Sophia, and cross the Bosphorus by ferry, where Europe and Asia meet across a narrow stretch of water.
A Coast Shaped by Tastes
Wherever the Mediterranean meets land, distinct food traditions take root. On your Mediterranean cruise tour you’ll sample local specialties in open-air markets, visit wineries and olive oil producers, and explore working estates in rural settings. From Spanish paella to Greek moussaka and classic French pastries, each port adds a new chapter to the region’s culinary story.
Island to Island by Sea
When cruising the Mediterranean you follow the same routes that connected ancient civilizations. Travel from Corsica to Sardinia, Malta to Sicily, Syros to Mykonos, visiting fishing villages, exploring hidden beaches, and observing daily life shaped by the sea. On a small ship luxury cruise of the Mediterranean, this slower pace reveals the region’s history, culture, and landscapes in close detail.
