We recommend planning your Mediterranean cruise between May and early November. This period offers ideal weather conditions, with mild temperatures and calm seas that make it easier to explore the hidden treasures of the Mediterranean.
Let yourself be seduced by the most popular destinations that embody the very essence of exploration in the Mediterranean. Make a stop in the Cyclades, where each island reveals a breathtaking landscape. Not far away, the Aegean Sea opens the doors to more secret Greek islands, to discover their cultural and natural heritage. Also, explore the Amalfi Coast, a jewel of Italy, with its dizzying cliffs and picturesque villages perched above the sea, or Croatia, with stops like Hvar and Dubrovnik. The Bay of Kotor in Montenegro, a true fjord of the Mediterranean, amazes with its beauty. Heading south, Sardinia and Sicily welcome you with their millennia-old heritage and wild landscapes. And for those seeking the perfect harmony between relaxation and cultural exploration, stops in Corsica or the Balearic Islands are a must.
On board PONANT cruises in the Mediterranean, each stop is an invitation to discovery and wonder. Your explorations take you to the heart of major cities and to the discovery of UNESCO World Heritage sites. Exceptional activities are scheduled at each of these stops, such as: a visit to the archaeological site of Pompeii, a concert of Sardinian polyphonic songs in Cagliari, a performance of Moreška in Croatia, an ascent of Mount Etna, truffle hunting and tasting departing from Rovinj...
PONANT's human-sized ships allow you to access confidential and authentic ports to discover lesser-known gems of the Mediterranean. You can embark even off-season, to travel when the crowds are less dense. On board, experience unique experiences thanks to the prestigious partnerships that PONANT has forged: yoga classes, concerts, festivals, conferences, and tastings organized by passionate experts. Through the Kid Explorers Club in partnership with the Maud Fontenoy Foundation, the youngest are invited to participate in activities focusing on raising awareness about ocean protection.
On board PONANT cruises in the Mediterranean, comfort and refinement are the key words of a service that meets your most demanding expectations.
