The Mediterranean is more than just a destination for MSC Cruises, it's our home. That's why we know its ports of call and both the well-known and their secret attractions. Our itineraries will transport you to the hidden corners of history, culture and nature in the land of Roman baths, crumbling ruins, Napolean's birthplace and sun-baked villages that are all part of the vastly diverse Mediterranean seaside.

Explore ancient civilization's most amazing treasures: the haunting beauty of the ruins of Ephesus, the mighty Acropolis in Athens or the Colussus of Rhodes. Voyage through the Dardanelles to Yalta and Odessa, summer retreats of the Russian Czars.

Experience the mysterious isles of Corsica and Sicily or the quaint fishing harbor of Capri, known as the Isle of Love, with its reputation among artists and poets. Feast on some of Italy's best food in Naples, float under the Bridge of Sighs on a gondola in Venice and watch a flamenco dance in Malaga, Spain. Bargain in Turkish bazaars and North African casbahs for intricate souvenirs or simply relax under the Mediterranean sun blazing over the Greek Isles.
