Mediterranean Cruise Highlights with APT Luxury Travel
A New Discovery Every Day
A small ship luxury cruise through the Mediterranean reveals Europe at its most varied, from France’s southern coast to the Balearic Island of Menorca and the scattered isles of Greece. One morning might see you tracing Napoleon’s origins on Corsica; the next, sampling Sardinian wines at a family-run estate. Travelling from Barcelona to Istanbul, visiting the region’s most fascinating places, your APT Mediterranean cruise unfolds as a sequence of strikingly different encounters.
Europe’s Great Civilisations
A luxury Mediterranean cruise offers direct access to the world that shaped modern Europe. In Athens, climb to the Acropolis and wander through streets layered with millennia of history. In Sicily, explore Syracuse – once the most powerful city of the ancient Mediterranean. And in Turkey, walk through Ephesus, where temples, theatres and civic spaces reveal the daily rhythms of Roman life with extraordinary clarity.
Istanbul: A City Between Worlds
At either end of your cruise around the Mediterranean lies Istanbul, a city that rewards lingering exploration. Visit the Ottoman courts of Topkapi Palace, navigate the maze of the Grand Bazaar, marvel at the soaring dome of Hagia Sophia and cross the Bosphorus by ferry for sweeping views that span Europe and Asia in a single glance.
Coasts Lined with Flavors
Wherever the Mediterranean touches land, distinctive food traditions take delicious shape. On your Mediterranean cruise tour you’ll savour regional specialities in local markets, meet olive oil producers and winemakers, and visit working estates in rural landscapes. From Spanish paella to Greek moussaka and delicate French pastries, each port brings a new taste to relish.
Mediterranean Island-Hopping
To cruise the Mediterranean is to travel as the ancients once did: by water. Sail from Corsica to Sardinia, Malta to Sicily, Syros to Mykonos, calling at smaller ports and quieter shores along the way. Visit fishing villages, swim at secluded beaches and observe daily life shaped by the sea. On a small ship luxury cruise of the Mediterranean, slow travel is the key to uncovering Southern Europe’s diverse cultures and enduring charm.
