Eastern Mediterranean Cruises

This is where you go if ancient history matters to you. Athens, Ephesus, and Dubrovnik are regular stops, and most itineraries weave in a few Greek islands. The water in the Aegean is warm from June through September. Expect tender ports at some of the smaller islands.
