Europe Cruises To See Historic Sites
By Julia Barnes
Large luxury liners feature Europe cruises that hit
all the major cities and provide world-class dining
and entertainment options that make you never want to
get off the boat! Smaller ships will give you quicker
loading times and adventures to off-the-beaten-path
destinations, although the accommodations are more modest.
The most difficult part of cruising is deciding which
port stops to take part in. Sometimes you have to just
say "no" and enjoy your pre-paid time on the
boat, getting some rest and relaxation. Whether you
choose Princess, Disney, Carnival Group or another major
cruise line, you’ll be happy you decided to forgo the
hustle and bustle of the airport for a swankier, more
leisurely float.
Highlights Of All The Major Cities
First time travelers often choose the 12-Night Western
Mediterranean cruise to get highlights of all the major
cities. For instance, Carnival Group’s "Carnival
Freedom" will sail you from Italian stops Civitavecchia
(Rome’s port) to Naples (to visit Pompeii and Capri),
Venice, Sicily and Livorno (to see Florence, Pisa and
Cinque Terre).
Next you’ll sail to Croatia (Dubrovnik), Spain (Barcelona)
and France (Cannes). Princess Cruise’s "Ruby Princess"
will also take you on a comprehensive 12-day Grand Mediterranean
trip with cities like Barcelona, Florence, Rome, Venice,
Athens and Istanbul starting at $3,200/person.
Problem With Highlights Tours
These Europe cruises (sometimes called "highlights"
tours) will let you experience some of the most exciting
ports so you can decide where to take more intimate
vacations later. The downside with choosing this type
of excursion is that sometimes you’re surrounded by
more tourists than you’d like and the experience may
seem a little less magical on such a generic tour.
While the Western Mediterranean cruise takes you to
Italy, France and Spain, the Eastern Mediterranean cruises
have a charm of their own too. When you cruise Mediterranean’s
eastern waters, you’ll come across Greece, Turkey and
the opposite side of Italy.
Come And See Historic Sites And Ancient Ruins
In 7-14 nights, Celebrity Mediterranean cruise lines
will whisk you away to Italy (Rome/Civitavecchia and
Naples), Greece (Mykonos, Rhodes, Santorini, Piraeus/Athens)
and Turkey (Istanbul and Kusadasi/Ephesus). These Europe
cruises are ideal for history lovers who would like
to see historic sites, ancient ruins and the birthplace
of democratic thought.
Experienced travelers are often looking for a bit of
luxury and personalization on their Europe cruises,
which is why an intimate mega-yacht like "Seabourn"
is ideal. Not only will you have personal concierge
at your beck and call, but you’ll also enjoy spacious
cabins with large picture windows, marble bathrooms,
flat screen TVs/DVD players and dinner served on expensive
china.
The ships fit 280 to 450 passengers, which is the perfect
size to cruise Mediterranean ports like Cannes and Monte
Carlo, but also fit into smaller spots like Bordeaux
and the Kiel Canal. Prices for luxury of this magnitude
can start at $14,000 per person, although you can get
a 60% discount by booking early.

More Mediterranean Cruises Facts....
How long will a Mediterranean cruise last?
The length of your Mediterranean cruise is up
to you. You can go for as little as 3 nights or you can stay up to
12-15 nights depending on the cruise. Generally the more places you
want to visit, the longer your cruise needs to last. Also remember
that the longer the stay, the more it is going to cost. If you have
never been to the Mediterranean before, you may want to spend that
extra money on a longer voyage. If you have visited several times,
a shorter trip may work for you.
