What Are the Best Royal Caribbean Mediterranean Cruise Destinations?

The Mediterranean is such a popular cruise destination thanks to the range of ports that guests can visit within a single itinerary. From historic ruins to culinary capitals, this region has so much to offer. Here are some of the top nations that guests can discover with Royal Caribbean Mediterranean cruises:

Spain

Spain is a classic summer destination, and there are plenty of ports that guests can visit to experience the many sides of this historic nation. From the beautiful beaches and Picasso Museum of Malaga to the iconic Gaudí architecture of Barcelona, there’s no end to the cultural discoveries.

Italy

Sailing along the coastlines of Italy, Royal Caribbean Mediterranean cruises visit a number of iconic ports with a character and charm of their own. Rome is a city with a history and energy like no other, while Salerno’s cliffs and turquoise waters offer stunning photo opportunities.

Greece

Across its cities and islands, Greece welcomes guests to dive into a history and culture as rich as any in the world. The dawn of society itself can be appreciated from the ancient ruins of Athens, and islands such as Santorini and Rhodes feature coastal architecture that elevates the beautiful natural scenery.

Croatia

With beaches so beautiful that they rival the very best in the world, Croatia is a gem of any Royal Caribbean Mediterranean cruise. Dubrovnik’s UNESCO medieval city walls provide a brilliant contrast with the sparkling waves of its beaches, and Split’s promenade makes for a picturesque evening stroll.

France

The south of France is a small but all-important part of any Mediterranean cruise, offering class and comfort like nowhere else. Ports like Toulon are a joy to explore, offering a rich old town and a cable car ride up for views of Mont Faron.
