4. Cruises. Crusing the mediterranean is one of the most popular vacations anywhere, anytime. The large ocean-going ships offer passengers opportunities to enjoy almost all of the Mediterranean countries and their different cultures in a compact amount of time. PLEASE SEE OUR CRUISE PAGE FOR MORE INFORMATION. Ocean cruise ships sail along the coast will visit dozens of ports in the Mediterranean. Israel, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Monaco, and Spain are just some of the countries reached by the large cruise ships. River cruise ships travel within a country's interior; areas not reachable by their bigger cousins. These ships usually dock overnight downtown in major cities along the river. Cruise along the Nile River and visit Cairo and Luxor and Aswan. Or begin a cruise along the Rivers Rhone and Saone departing from Nice, in the Mediterranean and ending in Paris. Of course, as with the ocean cruise ships, the elegant river cruise ship serves as the trip's hotel and restaurant(s). |
