“With the mild weather allowing for exploration of the region's historic sites and cultural delights, we've found Australians are really drawn to sailing, offering a taste of the eastern and western Mediterranean coastlines.”
MSC Cruises, one of the world's largest cruise operators, operates 14 ships in the Mediterranean Sea during various seasons throughout the year.
The cruise line's most popular seven-night itineraries include Eastern Mediterranean excursions to Croatia and the ancient city of Dubrovnik, the beautiful Greek islands of Mykonos and Santorini, and the World Heritage-listed city of Ancona, Italy.
While in the Western Mediterranean, Australians are drawn to week-long cruises that explore the best of Italy, Malta, Spain and France. These cruises include Portofino and Pompeii, Messina in Sicily, the elegant 16th-century Valletta, Barcelona and Provence in France, departing from Marseille.
