CRUISE OVERVIEW (READ CAREFULLY)
Mediterranean cruises are port-intensive, not sea-heavy. This itinerary is designed for travellers who want to sample multiple European cities without the fatigue of trains, buses, and daily hotel check-ins.
Port days are long but time-bound. You will not “see all of Rome in one day” — and this itinerary does not pretend otherwise.
Instead, it gives structured access to highlights or optional shore excursions, with evenings back onboard for rest.
