On your premium cruise, why not discover the rich cultures of the Mediterranean?
Europe is a continent of incredible contrasts, natural beauty and ancient cultures, and this month-long Mediterranean cruise extravaganza brings you the very best Europe has to offer. From Istanbul, where east meets west in a glittering array of minarets and street bazaars, to ancient Athens. And from eternal Rome to the proudly British high-rise exclave of Gibraltar, on your Mediterranean cruise, Europe will become a colourful and absorbing pageant that will delight and thrill.
A memorable Mediterranean cruise holiday has so much to offer thanks to an abundance of spectacular destination experiences and ports of call. Sunny Palermo has a history stretching back more than 2,700 years – and the architecture to match, with its breathtaking Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque and Art Nouveau churches and palaces.
The bridge between the east and west, Istanbul is one of the earth’s most vibrant and exciting metropolises. Nowhere else can you dance across two continents and immerse yourself in a vibrant hub oozing decadence and history.
Piraeus is the largest Mediterranean port and your gateway to Athens. Journey to the stunning Acropolis and witness remnants of Ancient Greece. Walk in awe of its historic significance whilst also soaking in new creative, contemporary energies. In the Eastern Mediterranean, Alexandria is the historic gateway to Cairo and the majestic pyramids; this legendary city will journey you back to 331BC. Be stunned by the towering Pharos Lighthouse as soon as you arrive, once one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
In Catania, you will fall in love with the power of this Sicilian city, lying in the shadow of the awe-inspiring Mount Etna, as you submerge yourself in intense flavours that will dazzle the taste buds and a romantic heritage that is like none other. Exploring charming Gibraltar will capture a slice of home at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula: a remarkable symbol of British navy strength. The Rock will leave you feeling on top of the world!
All of this and more is why you choose to travel with Ambassador Cruise Line. There is no question that if you choose to embark along this incredible route on Ambience, it will be a cruise adventure you will never forget.
