Best Cruises for Food Lovers

Food & Wine Magazine

On a Mediterranean cruise with Princess®, explore the homes of Greek gods, Italian artists and multicultural treasures. As you walk down bustling roads and beaches, cultures and history fill the air. Uncover divine legends at the Acropolis, admire religious relics at Dubrovnik’s Cathedral or climb the Leaning Tower of Pisa and soak up sweeping views of the emerald landscapes.

Mediterranean Cruise Options

Mediterranean (From Barcelona)

The gateway to greatness

On these Mediterranean cruises, travel from Spain through some of Europe’s most famous ports as you make your way to Italy. Begin in Barcelona where archaic artwork is on display throughout the city. Then saunter through the lavender fields of Provence when you cruise to Marseille. Or visit Il Campo dei Miracoli, also known as “The Field of Miracles,” a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the heart of Pisa

Mediterranean & Aegean (From Rome)

From one sea to another

Embark on a Mediterranean cruise through the Aegean Sea and stroll through highlights of Italy and Greece while also visiting hidden gems like Montenegro.

Continue indulging in dreamy landscapes in Athens where mythology comes to life.

Mediterranean Cruise Ports of Call

Discover some of the world-renowned destinations that await you on a Mediterranean cruise with Princess.

Rooted in Greek mythology, Athens is alive with stories from civilizations of the past. On a cruise to Europe departing from Athens, arrive early to tour the remains of ancient lores — like the Temple of Olympian Zeus and Acropolis — dine at the city’s lively tavernas and admire iconic sculptures bathed in natural light within the Acropolis Museum.

Until it was popularized by the 1992 Olympics, Barcelona was a hidden gem amidst Europe’s diverse landscapes. Now it’s widely recognized for its architectural masterpieces and spirited customs. On European cruises from Barcelona, leave enough time before you depart to visit Park Güell — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — and feel inspired by the colors and unique artistry that lies in the park and throughout the entire city.

As one of the greenest islands in Greece, Corfu is an emerald treasure amidst the colorful Mediterranean landscape. From Paleokastritsa, hike to the mountaintop for unparalleled views of the Ionian Sea. Or get a taste of Corfu when you team up with a famous chef, and handpick local produce that they’ll use to prepare your lunch. Experience it all on a Greek cruise with Princess.

On a Mediterranean cruise to Livorno, travel to Florence or Pisa where artifacts abound. Capture snapshots of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, stop by Michelangelo’s David statue at the Accademia and walk up to the “Gates of Paradise” at the Baptistery. Or explore the countryside and meander through the region’s rolling hills that bear vineyards and green olive groves.

Nestled within Boka Bay lies a medieval gem. Kotor is enrobed in ancient houses, palaces and churches that speak to its 12th-century origins. On a Greek cruise, dine on Montenegrin cuisine in the home of a local chef, appreciate 14th-century Venetian art at St. Tryphon’s Cathedral and taste regional wines along the riviera. Or see another side of the city when you kayak through the tunnels of Lipa Cave.

As the largest port in the Mediterranean, Marseille is the gateway to opportunity. On a Mediterranean cruise, spend the day in Arles, and explore the landscapes that inspired much of Van Gogh’s artwork. Stroll through the MuSaMa, a soap museum, and create your own blend alongside a master soap maker. Or roam the city’s most popular landmark, Notre-Dame de la Garden, a Catholic basilica that overlooks the city.

Famous for its beaches and spirited lifestyle, Mykonos is the heartbeat of Greece. Embark on a jeep safari past the city’s windmills, lighthouses and lakes. Walk past temples and marble-lined sanctuaries in Delos, the birthplace of famous Greek gods. Or soak up a day of relaxation on the beach with the city’s Cycladic architecture as your backdrop — all on a Greek cruise with Princess.

Italy’s capital city is something of a dream. Grand chapels and stone angels line the roads, whispering secrets of Rome’s past. On a cruise to Europe from Rome, arrive early to toss a coin into Trevi Fountain. Legend has it, you’ll be guaranteed return to The Eternal City. Then walk in the footsteps of Emperors at the Colosseum, and receive a blessing from the Pope at St. Peter’s Square.

Santorini is the epitome of Greece. Wander into the welcoming cafes in Oia, a village teeming with whitewashed buildings and blue-domed roofs. Continue to some of the world’s oldest vineyards and taste the bouquet of wines produced on the island, making sure to visit the black-sand beach of Kamari before heading back to your Mediterranean cruise ship.

Why Cruise the Mediterranean

In lands where the culture is as flavorful as the cuisine, the splendor of the Mediterranean speaks for itself.

World-Class Dining

Captivating cuisine

With mouthwatering entrees and confections, the Mediterranean invites you to embark on a gourmet tour through iconic cities. Reawaken your taste buds with Italian classics like pastas, pizzas and gelato. Or fill your plate with gyros, keftethes and baklava on a Greek cruise. From breakfast to dinner and every delectable dessert in between, the best is before you with Princess.

Bold reds and crisp whites

The countryside of Italy and Greece are home to some of the most flavorful wines around the globe. With sun and warm temperatures year-round, vineyards are flourishing with grapes by the harvest season. Sip on Italy’s red wines, or sample Greece’s white blends. From sweet Lambruscos to earthy Bordeauxs, fill up your glass on a Mediterranean cruise with Princess.

Ancient Ruins

Where history comes to life

From towers and temples to cities and shorelines, the Mediterranean is sprinkled with remains of civilizations past. Step back in time on a tour through ancient ruins on a Mediterranean cruise with Princess. Imagine life as a gladiator at the Colosseum, explore Greek mythology at the Parthenon and discover the archeological excavations of Pompeii — a lost city and UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Art Galleries & Museums

Artistic ingenuity abounds

From the treasures on land to the jewels within museums, the Mediterranean is a true work of art. On an Italian cruise, see portraits from the Renaissance period at the Uffizi Museum in Florence, and admire Michelangelo’s masterpieces at the Vatican Museum in Rome. Or walk in the footsteps of celebrated artists that called these regions home — like Picasso and Dali — and allow their work to spark your creativity.

Sun-Kissed Beaches

A vision of natural beauty

Visions of sparkling coasts and crystalline waters welcome you to the Mediterranean. Dip your toes on the black-sand coast of Santorini on a Greek cruise. Head to Salerno to spend the day in Positano relaxing on the white beaches and admiring the pastel houses that decorate the cliffs around you. Or travel to Mykonos with your loved ones and daydream on the city’s long stretch of golden sand and stroll in the sunshine.

Mediterranean excursions

Our award-winning Mediterranean cruise shore excursions bring you to iconic beaches, landmarks and ancient artifacts. See the yacht-lined shores of Kotor while riding on a tuk tuk, an electric rickshaw. Savor the flavors of “Koum Kouat” liqueur, created from Corfu’s exclusive citrus plant. Or stroll along the streets of Dubrovnik’s Old town, one of the most well-preserved medieval cities in the world.

Local connections

From chefs and beverage makers to artists and guides, meet the many personalities that call the Mediterranean home with our Local Connections program. On a Mediterranean cruise, voyage to an olive tree farm just outside of Provence, and join your hosts for a unique olive oil tasting. Or explore the Archaeological Museum of Naples with a local artist, and accompany them for lunch to dive even deeper in Italy’s art scene.

More ashore

Enjoy even more opportunities to experience the colors, cultures and flavors of the Mediterranean with More Ashore late-night departures and overnight stays. Witness the beautiful sunset in Mykonos on a Greek cruise. Sit front-row for a flamenco dance, and savor a paella dinner during an evening in Barcelona. Or stroll the illuminated streets of Genoa with gelato in hand after a traditional Italian dinner.

Mediterranean Cruise Onboard Experience

Curated comfort, world-class entertainment and international flavors await you.

Accomodations

Your home away from home

Your stateroom is where you rest and recharge between adventures. That’s why every room is equipped with the expertly designed Princess Luxury Bed, 100% Jacquard-woven cotton linens and our SLEEP program created by a board-certified sleep expert. From interior cabins to full suites, unwind in any of our staterooms, and enjoy peace of mind with the option of connected rooms for families of four or more traveling together.

Flavors that inspire

From the zest of Provencal ratatouille to the sweetness of Greek Halva, the Mediterranean is bursting with flavor. On board most Princess ships, indulge in a pasta dinner at Sabatini’s℠, or savor local seafood at Crown Grill. While ashore, treat yourself to gelato in Italy or churros in Spain. From ship to shore, appease your appetite with one-of-a-kind dining experiences on every Mediterranean cruise itinerary.

Entertainment

Find your joy

Embark on adventures by day, and indulge in entertainment by night. Watch Movies Under the Stars® at our 300-square-foot outdoor theater. Attend original productions from Broadway legend Stephen Schwartz, composer of  Wicked . Or learn traditional moves, like Flamenco or Irish stepdance, and listen to popular music from the destinations on your itinerary. On a European cruise with Princess, the choice is yours.

Celebrations and Romance

Love blooms on the Love Boat

It's difficult to imagine something more romantic than sailing through the alluring cities and charming countryside of Europe. While on board your European cruise, we cater to your sentimental side with private dining on your balcony — like breakfast for two or a sunset dinner — honeymoon packages, flowers and chocolates delivered to your room and couples-only massages in the Sanctuary.

Youth & Teen Center

Step outside the classroom

Our European cruises were crafted with every guest in mind — even the younger ones. From 6-month old babies to 17-year old teens, kids can unwind and relax or play and explore. In partnership with Discovery™, kids can learn even more with special insights about Italy, Greece and everywhere in between. With engaging activities on board and ashore, kids can see history books come to life before their eyes.

Vegas hits the seas

Experience the thrill of cards, dice, roulette and blackjack at the casino onboard our European cruises. Learn from experts — like our staff or perhaps other guests nearby — and put your skills to the test. More casual players can pull up a seat at the slot machines for the same adrenaline at their own speed. For an afternoon full of games, join fellow travelers for Bingo, or compete in scheduled group tournaments.

Ships sailing Mediterranean cruises

Our Princess fleet includes ships that range from small to large vessels. From a balcony stateroom, marvel at breathtaking shorelines passing by before enjoying international cuisine in one of our many eateries during your Mediterranean cruise.

2024 Greek Isles Cruise Must-Visit Sites

With an array of islands to discover, you might be wondering what to do and see in each location. Discover some must-visit sites and shore excursions at several popular Greek islands to inspire your travel planning.

Santorini is one of the world's most photogenic islands. It's renowned for its cliffside views of the sea, the caldera, and azure waters. Santorini owes its remarkable geography to a volcanic eruption more than 3,500 years ago, and some believe it is the site of the long-lost city of Atlantis. To experience the volcano closely, you can book a shore excursion that includes a brisk hike to the crater of this active volcano. Return to the island and celebrate your accomplishment with lunch in the clifftop town of Fira.

The village of Oia, known for its iconic postcard images of Santorini, is also a must-visit destination. Wander through the narrow alleys and discover Oia's hidden charms. Oenophiles might consider a wine tour that brings them to one of the island's famous wineries. Here, you can learn all about the interesting growing methods and the island's prized Assyrtiko wines.

Mykonos is known for its lively parties and offers abundant sightseeing opportunities. Take a walking tour to delve into the history and lifestyle of this beloved Aegean island. Witness the iconic windmills and the Little Venice neighborhood. If you're intrigued by Greek mythology, take a shore excursion to the nearby island of Delos. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is the mythical birthplace of Apollo and Artemis.

Upon arriving in Corfu , you'll immediately notice how lush the island is. Relish views of hillside villages and shimmering waters. Opt for an excursion on a scenic drive through the countryside, teeming with olive and lemon trees. You'll drive along the coastal road of Perama, stop for photos at Mouse Island, and visit Old Town Corfu. If you prefer to explore independently, book the Hop-On Hop-Off bus that takes you to famous sights in Corfu while riding on an open-air double-decker bus.

Argostoli calls the Ionian island of Kefalonia home. Argostoli presents a modern face due to a devastating earthquake in 1953 that destroyed most of the island's significant structures. Despite its lack of historical architecture, Kefalonia offers plenty of contemporary charm and is brimming with eateries, boutiques, and terraces. Explore a 12th-century Byzantine castle and marvel at the stunning 16th-century frescoes. Or visit the subterranean Lake of Melissani, where ancient stalactites and light streams transform the water into a vivid shade of blue.

Rhodes was once the home of the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the original Seven Wonders of the World. The island features a captivating walled city that merits a visit if your Norwegian Greek Isles itinerary includes a day here. Excursions on Rhodes include the ancient town of Lindos with its beautiful acropolis or the majestic Grand Masters Palace. Alternatively, consider a journey to Ancient Lindos and Medieval Rhodes. Book a sailing trip along the eastern shore with a swimming and snorkeling stop if you'd like to explore Rhodes from the water.

Situated on the island of Crete, Heraklion boasts abundant ancient Venetian architecture from the 13th century, including imposing fortified walls. This city is also the gateway to the Minoan Knossos Palace, the alleged birthplace of the mythological Minotaur. Shore excursions on Crete may include visits to Knossos and Heraklion or traditional villages. If you're a wine enthusiast, consider a tour of the renowned wine-producing region of Peza.

Patmos offers an abundance of natural beauty and religious history. Some biblical scholars believe John, one of Jesus' apostles, penned the Book of Revelation here. As a cruise passenger, you can visit the Monastery of Saint-John the Theologian, where you'll find the chapel built above the cave where St. John lived and received the revelation. Immerse yourself in Patmos' natural splendor and visit the island's picturesque pebbled beaches and serene villages.

Katakolon serves as the port of call for Olympia, the dwelling of Greek gods and the birthplace of the Olympic Games. Situated on the Ionian Sea, Katakolon and Olympia offer passengers on a Norwegian Greek Isles cruise an opportunity to step back into some of the most significant historical sites in the Mediterranean.

The First-ever Helicopter Airline in Greece Launches — and Fares Are Actually Affordable

Passengers can also expect glass cockpits for stunning views.

The islands of the Aegean are the jewels of Greece, but that doesn’t mean getting to them is a breeze. Until now, Greek island hopping — glamorous as it is — has required lengthy ferry rides, inconvenient flight schedules, cruises, or, if you're lucky, your own private yacht.

That’s all changing this summer, with the introduction of Hoper , the f​​irst-ever scheduled helicopter airline in Greece. The Athens-based company offers individual seats on scheduled helicopter flights to 11 popular destinations in the Aegean: Athens, Antiparos, Folegandros, Ios, Kea, Mykonos, Patmos, Santorini , Sifnos, Spetses, and Tinos.

PETROS SOFIKITIS/Courtesy of Hoper

Founded by Greek entrepreneurs and travel enthusiasts Demitris Memos, Costas Gerardos, and George Papaioannidis, Hoper is transforming Greek tourism by making convenient, fast, scenic, and safe helicopter flights to remote Greek islands accessible to the average tourist. 

Flights operate year-round with a fleet of five Robinson R44 and R66 helicopters, all with glass cockpits so travelers can also sightsee along the way. 

“If you’ve experienced a Greek summer, you know the true beauty of vacation lies in the unlaid plan,” Dimitris Kossyfas, chief commercial officer of Hoper, told Travel + Leisure . “With Hoper, we help you do that quickly and seamlessly.”

Jetting off last minute, even to remote islands, is no issue: Passengers can book online up to three hours before departure. Flights last 45 minutes or less, saving travelers precious hours and avoiding common transit hassles and headaches. 

And unlike yachting, island hopping with Hoper isn’t reserved for the one percent: One-way fares are reasonably priced from 160 to 350 euros.

“We’re here to help you see more of Greece in a cost-effective way and enjoy the freedom that Greek summer gives us all,” Kossyfas says.

With fixed routes and departure times, the airline provides a reliable way to experience flexible traveling around the Greek isles — “a unique step without precedent” for Greek tourism, according to Greece’s Minister of Tourism Olga Kefalogianni. Hoper also operates chartered flights on a request basis.

The flights originate from Hoper’s base in Koropi (15 minutes by car from Athens International Airport), as well as from Mykonos and Santorini. The company upgraded all existing helipads in the destinations it serves and plans to add new destinations in the mainland later this year.

Romance and culture await on a Greek Island cruise

It’s no wonder the Greek Islands have always been a perennial favorite of travelers. Greece is a magical, romantic destination where you can wander alongside stunning coastlines, explore the ruins of ancient cultures, and dine on fresh Mediterranean cuisine all in one vacation.

On one of our Greek Island cruises, explore far-flung beaches, drift out to sea on catamarans and kayaks, and duck into tiny tavernas where you can eat and drink like a local. From the sun-soaked stone buildings in Santorini to the white-sand beaches that beckon in Mykonos, a Greece cruise is the best way to experience the captivating Greek Islands.

Greek Island Cruise Highlights

Once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

There is no shortage of unforgettable experiences to be had in Greece. Its seascapes and cityscapes are wondrous, from the mighty ruins of the Acropolis to the buzzing, modern city center of Athens. Visit an olive farm in Crete, or embark on a tour of Mykonos Town’s organic wineries. Or, take an intimate, exclusive cooking lesson on how to make local favorites in Santorini’s main square, right in the middle of it all.

Ancient History

Greece is a world-renowned destination for history buffs. Stroll through the Acropolis and marvel at human achievement, or visit the Museum of Cycladic Art to study Aegean and Cypriot artifacts. Examine the 400-year-old remains of a town buried under volcanic ash outside of Santorini. Explore the historic forts of Corfu, or hop on a boat ride to Delos, said to be the birthplace of Apollo.

Natural Wonders

Discover Elafonisi Beach, a paradise of pink, powdery sand and shallow waters off the island of Crete. Take an unforgettable cruise through the impressive Corinth Canal on a shore excursion in Athens. Stand in awe at the base of Mount Olympus, Greece’s highest mountain and the fabled home of the Greek gods. In Zakynthos, don’t miss a visit to the awe-inspiring Shipwreck Beach, which often tops best-of lists.

Featured Ports

Santorini, Greece

Travelers flock to Santorini for its cobalt-roofed homes, friendly locals, and fine local wine. On this crescent-shaped island, soak up the sun at black-sand beaches like Perissa, or spend a day at the Santorini Caldera, one of the only places in the world to see submerged remnants of an erupted volcano. Sample Greek wines at family-owned wineries dotting the Aegean coast, and take the time to marvel at the incredible panoramas all around you.

Mykonos, Greece

Mykonos is the quintessential Mediterranean beach destination. Choose your favorite to spend the day on, or book a sailing excursion to go beach hopping. Take a day trip beyond Mykonos to the nearby island of Delos, an uninhabited archeological site said to be the birthplace of Greek gods. Experience an authentic side of the island with a home-cooking class, where you’ll sample and prepare delicious local specialties.

Athens, Greece

To visit the capital of Greece is to take a trip back in time, whether you’re exploring the narrow streets of the Plaka District or hiking the Acropolis for well-earned views of the Parthenon. After a day of exploration, pop into a taverna for Mediterranean meze and a cold beer.

Greek Island Cruise Itineraries

Explore the wonders of Greece on 7- to 12-night itineraries available year round. Along with ports of call in the country’s best destinations, our cruises to Greece also include stops in Turkey, Italy, Malta, and beyond.
