13 Day Eastern Mediterranean Cruise


An Eastern Mediterranean cruise takes you to a sightseer’s paradise, combining beaches, history and scenic splendours to great effect. Trace the trade routes that link the civilisations that shaped the modern world with a cruise of the fortified cities and port towns of the Eastern Mediterranean in the company like of minded of single travellers.

When you cruise in the East Med, you’ll be impressed by the richness of the architecture, the variety of the landscape and the beauty of the coastlines beneath the Mediterranean sun.

Start your singles cruise from Marseille and sail to historical Malta. Malta displays its unique past in its pre-historic temples, early Christian churches and fascinating World War II sites. Of course, these islands also offer the modern attractions of great beaches, water sports, fine Mediterranean food and drink and lively nightlife.

Sail to Alexandria, Egypt founded by its namesake, Alexander the Great in 332 B.C., Alexandria has been home to many historical figures, including Cleopatra, Mark Antony, Julius Caesar and Euclid. Today the city has a distinctly Mediterranean feel, perhaps a remainder of its ancient Roman connection. The charming seaside promenade, colonial buildings and wide avenues make it an exotic, romantic destination.

Port Said no where on earth launches an all-out assault on the senses quite like Cairo. It’s big, it’s bustling and it’s filled to bursting with age-old treasures from the times of the pharaohs. The first thing that’ll strike you about Egypt’s capital is the chaos – fast-moving traffic, beeping car horns, calls to prayer, haggling merchants. Everything’s a blur, albeit an exciting one. The other thing you’ll notice is the fusion of old with new. Traditional bazaars hung with copper-beaten lamps rub shoulders with glitzy, neon-lit shopping malls. There’s nowhere like it.

Holy sights come thick and fast in these parts. From Ashdod, visit the awe-inspiring cities of Jerusalem and Bethlehem and see some of the world's most impressive shrines and monuments.

Heraklion is just three miles away from the fantastic ruins of the Palace of Knossos. Discovered in 1899 and partially reconstructed, the elaborate Palace is believed to be the mythical Labyrinth of King Minos and the seat of ancient Minoan culture.

Set on Akrotiri Bay, Limassol is the island’s biggest seaside town with plenty to offer its visitors. Whether you’ve come here in search of age-old sights or bubbling bars, the town’s a mixed bag of delights that never fails to impress.
