Cheap Mediterranean Cruises
There are so many lovely cities to visit in the Mediterranean, from Venice to Santorini to Barcelona. History buffs will revel in the ruins, cathedrals, and world-class museums throughout the Med, while food-lovers can enjoy gelato in Italy, paella in Spain, and gyros in Greece. Lesser-known but equally exciting destinations include Croatia and Montenegro, both of which are wonderfully medieval. Whether you sail to Greece, Italy, France, or Malta, you can enjoy a mix of beach life, cultural activities, and sightseeing on a cheap cruise vacation to the Mediterranean.

The Mediterranean is a popular cruising destination visited by lines big and small. While you can find an itinerary pretty much any time of year, the bulk of cruises sail to the Med between March and October. The spring and fall draw fewer crowds than the peak summer months, so if you're looking for a quieter vacation, you may want to consider sailing in one of these seasons. Popular ports include Civitavecchia, Venice, and Barcelona. Civitavecchia is your gateway to Rome, where you can visit Vatican City, St. Peter's Basilica, and the Colosseum, among many other treasures.
