Are you thinking of going on a cruise this year? If you have never been on a cruise before you certainly should try one and if you have been on a cruise before you could have a go at cruising the Mediterranean this time
Cruising at sea, calling into a different port each day or two soon becomes a way of life, so short cruises can be a little exasperating. A fortnight is all right but a month is much better.
Think of it, a different language and a different culture every day for weeks! The Mediterranean Sea is not considered to be a substantial sea, but it has to be the most diverse area in the world, because there are countries like Portugal, Spain and France to the northwest; the Middle East is represented by Turkey and The Lebanon in the northeast; Arabic countries like Egypt and Lybia line the northeastern shoreline of the African Mediterranean and Arabic/Berber countries like Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco bring us back to within miles of Spain on the northwestern African Mediterranean shoreline.
In fact, the Mediterranean Sea covers about 2.5 million square kilometres and has more than 120 substantial seaports around it. The variety of food, culture and language is quite extraordinary. If you are looking for variety, you will certainly find it while cruising the Mediterranean Sea.
If you get a kick out of history, then you will not be disappointed by the ruins from the immense Greek, Roman and Egyptian empires that spread around the region prolifically. I should not think that there is a single area without something to remind the population about the power of the Roman army 2,000 years ago.
There are dozens of different Mediterranean cruises available many of them specializing in one specific aspect or region of the Mediterranean. Some go for romantic destinations others specialize in Greek, Roman or Egyptian history.
The last Mediterranean cruise I went on was actually two cruises back-to-back. I flew into Barcelona from my home town. I did not have to take care of my baggage from my hometown until I saw it on my bunk on the cruise liner. That was a great touch. On the first leg of the cruise we steamed east to Sicily and then north along the Italian coast to the French Riviera and back to Spain.
The second leg went east to Sardinia and then south to Africa and returned along the coast calling into Tunisia and Malta on the way back to Spain. They were two completely different cruises on the same ship and separated merely by a week from one another.
The luxury and the dining experience was wonderful and I discovered the saying to be true that you can expect to gain about a pound in weight every two days unless you take plenty of exercise, so make certain you pack your swimming costume, even if you do choose to leave your exercise gear at home.
