Whether visiting archaeological landmarks, isolated beaches or small fishing harbors, stopping for an unplanned gathering in a taverna, or just sailing on Homer’s “wine dark sea,” we promise you an incredible Mediterranean cruise experience and an approach that you will not find elsewhere. And, of course, Mediterranean cuisine, with their healthy, fresh ingredients and the ubiquitous olive and grape, add a delectable dimension to every day of every voyage. Read more
Why go with us: The itineraries shown here are not Mediterranean tours. They are expeditions. And, while some places along our route are well-traveled, each expedition cruise is balanced with lesser-traveled spots and is designed to embody the spirit of an expedition. The hallmark of Lindblad Expeditions is our field experts: the Expedition Leaders, Historians, Naturalists and local guides who travel with you, adding knowledge and sharing insights. You’ll not only view the ruins of ancient cultures, but learn the context in which they thrived (and, what they’ve passed along to us). Most important, you’ll take with you knowledge, experiences and shared memories that only an expedition can deliver.
Why we love it here: The sun, the history, the food, the archaeology, the relaxed calm of a small village — the charms of this region are many. But perhaps more than anything else, the characteristics that fostered classic civilizations can still be found here.
Why you might want to visit: The Mediterranean is “the sea in the middle of the earth.” Or, certainly the middle of the known world to the civilizations that clustered along its coastline--civilizations that have had a huge impact on our own history and culture. It's an adventure travel destination that provides endless opportunities to explore.
