Discover some of the most breathtaking destinations in Europe on cruises departing from Naples, Italy. Experience a blend of Italy’s past and present on this 8 day round trip cruise from Naples , aboard the new Costa Tuscany.

If you are looking for the best excursions you can do on this cruise from Naples, let’s discover together the unmissable highlights for every stop.

Cagliari – Discover Cagliari, a city steeped in history and wherever you are, you’ll find traces of its rich past : ancient Roman ruins, museums full of prehistoric artefacts, centuries-old churches and elegant palaces. Palma – Relax on the beach: Sun, sea, bright white sand and all the relaxation you could ask for on Paguera beach. In the afternoon, take a stroll trough Palma city centre. Barcelona – Enjoy a Segway tour of Barcelona, you will admire the extraordinary works of the Modernist architect, Antoni Gaudí, to whom the city owes much of its fame Marseilles – Explore Aix-en-Provence , savouring the joy of strolling through its narrow streets, squares and historic buildings, and discovering its colours and aromas with a visit to the local market or an open-air café.

Savona – The Riviera di Levante features many gems ready to be showcased: what better way to admire them if not from the sea on a private cruise? Among cliffs and wooded slopes, the magnificent fishing towns of Portofino and Camogli appear perfect before us to be discovered on foot leisurely as well as the fascinating outline of the Abbey of San Fruttuoso that seems to emerge from the blue waters.

Naples – Enjoy a trip to Sorrento : An excursion to discover a jewel of the Gulf of Naples: wonderful Sorrento, with its narrow streets and little squares that have won the hearts of countless visitors.

Of course you can make it as expensive as you want, but there are also cheap options.

In general a cruise around the Western Mediterranean will cost around $140 per person per day. In low season this price drops to around $100 per person per night (price based on internal cabin).

But if you do your research well and book directly with the cruise line you will find great deals.

This way you can have a full western Mediterranean cruise experience for less than $100 per night. This includes your cabin, your meals and port fees. Check the link for deals: website

Useful tips for your Mediterranean cruise from Naples

• If possible, fly in a few days ahead of your cruise to adjust to the local time and recover from the lost sleep. Once on your cruise, plan your excursions to vary the activity level. Try alternating “culture days” spent in museums and historical sites with “sun days” spent on the beach or enjoying outdoor activities
• Most likely you will be cruising the Med in the summer and this also is the peak holiday season in Europe. Make reservations ahead or buy skip the line tickets online for major attractions. This way you will have the most of your excursion days.
• Travelling in Europe, in general, is regarded as really safe and so are all cruise destinations in the Mediterranean. Walking around the cities or visiting one of the many tourist spots along the Med, you will feel safe and nothing bad will happen. That said, be aware of pickpocketing. Just in case, bring a money belt to keep your money safe and leave valuables on board.
• Every country claims to be famous for its food. Apart from being very well fed on board the ship, save some space for delicious tapas , French wine s and of course pizza , tiramisu and ice cream in Italy.
• Most of the ports of call feature ancient cities and villages, replete with cobblestones and uneven pathways, so comfortable shoes are absolutely important if you want to enjoy the adventure (and avoid injury).

Why choose a Mediterranean Cruise

On a cruise around Southern Europe, you will have the opportunity to see the Mediterranean from a unique perspective – aboard a comfortable seagoing ship.

These tours are gaining popularity against the alternative land-based tours, because of the many advantages, like not having to pack & unpack at every new city, saving time traveling between various destinations since your hotel literally floats along with you and takes advantage of evenings & nights to travel long distances, and offering all-inclusive prices that cover lodging, transportation, tours, and all meals.

The Best Time for Western Mediterranean cruises

Summer is the high travel season in the Mediterranean. The weather is hot and sunny, the water is warm, and millions of people flock to the coast to soak up the sun and take a break from routine. The best time to take a Mediterranean cruise, however, is in the spring (March-June) or fall (September-November).

The temperatures are comfortably warm, the sun is bright, and the crowds are far, far fewer than in July and August. During the spring months, the flowers are blooming and the landscape is verdant, while autumn days are mild and clear before the winter rains.

Best Mediterranean cruises in 2024 and 2025

The Mediterranean region has it all — amazing food and wine, famous historical and cultural landmarks, scenic seaside towns and gorgeous island beaches.

You'd be hard-pressed to experience Spain , France , Italy and Greece on one land tour without transportation issues. A Mediterranean cruise, however, is the perfect way to get a taste of many coastal countries with ease; you can transit between destinations while you sleep aboard your ship.

Most cruise lines operate trips in the Mediterranean over the summer, whether on tiny ships with a few hundred passengers or giant megaships with several thousand people. Some vessels even sail the region year-round.

For more cruise guides, news, reviews and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

Most Mediterranean cruises focus on one region (usually the eastern or western halves of the coastline), but longer itineraries might encompass more. While choosing a ship is important, so is picking which route to take and which countries you want to see.

Consider what's on your bucket list. Cruise lines offer a variety of options, making it possible for culture vultures, beach lovers, history buffs and family travelers to prioritize different ports of call and onboard amenities.

Here are some of the best Mediterranean cruises departing in 2024 and 2025 to whet your appetite for a European adventure by sea.

Best cruise for romantics: Windstar Cruises in the rivieras

For romance seekers, few experiences beat a cruise that lingers along the French and Italian rivieras. France's Cote d'Azur, with its coastal mountains and crystal blue sea, has inspired artists and romantics for centuries. The equally stunning Italian coast is perfect for a romantic stroll around secluded harbors and an indulgent, delectable lunch at a table for two overlooking the ocean.

Another popular port of call on riviera itineraries is Monaco, where you might visit the royal palace of the Grimaldi family and stop by the glamorous Monte Carlo Casino to pretend you are James Bond enjoying a night on the town.

Related: Western Mediterranean vs. Eastern Mediterranean cruises: Which itinerary will I like more?

You'll find these cruises on small and luxury ships. Our pick for romance is Windstar Cruises ' seven-night "Yachtsman's Harbors of the Rivieras" sailing between Rome and Barcelona (or vice versa) on multiple spring, summer and fall dates in 2024 and 2025.

The five-masted Wind Surf is as picture-perfect as the ports you'll visit, and the 342-passenger ship can follow all the luxury yachts into smaller harbors and off-the-beaten-track destinations. Your onboard meals, with many dishes created by James Beard-affiliated chefs, might even rival the fresh Mediterranean cuisine you'll find in port.

Ports of call vary by sailing date but can include Port-Vendres, Sanary-sur-Mer and Cannes, France; Monte Carlo, Monaco; and Portofino and Portoferraio, Italy. For the ultimate riviera experience, book one of Windstar's Prix du Monde sailings with exclusive access to the Formula One racing events.

Best cruise for budget-conscious travelers: Celestyal Cruises in the Greek islands

Visiting the Greek islands is a magical experience. Lessons in ancient history and the development of Western civilization come to life surrounded by astounding natural beauty.

Your jaw might drop as your ship navigates the sunken caldera that leads to Santorini, where whitewashed villages dot the tops of steep cliffs. In Mykonos, you can head to one of the island's famous beaches or catch a ferry to explore the ancient ruins of Delos, known as the birthplace of Apollo. Budget-conscious travelers can skip the tours and stroll the narrow streets and city walls Rhodes' Old Town.

Related: Best Mediterranean cruise tips to enhance your European vacation

For less pricey ways to see the Greek islands, consider Celestyal Cruises ; it sails three- and four-night minicruises in addition to affordable one-week sailings. A four-night cruise packs a lot into a short sailing with visits to Mykonos, Patmos, Rhodes, Heraklion and Santorini, as well as Kusadasi, Turkey. Don't forget to spend time in Athens before or after your cruise.

Celestyal's two ships carry between 1,200 and 1,700 passengers. You'll enjoy all the amenities of a large cruise ship — such as multiple pools, restaurants and bars, and spa and fitness facilities — without feeling inundated with many thousands of fellow cruisers.

Best cruise for history lovers: Viking in the Eastern Mediterranean

Eastern Mediterranean cruises of a week or more immerse you in multiple ancient civilizations. They take you to the historical places you have traveled to see, including several UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Extraordinary itineraries visit Athens for the Acropolis, Istanbul for the Blue Mosque and the Topkapi Palace, and Kusadasi for the impressive ancient city of Ephesus and sites associated with the Virgin Mary. Dubrovnik, Croatia's medieval Old Town (a filming location for HBO's "Game of Thrones") will wow you. From Naples, Italy, you can explore the ancient city of Pompeii.

Cruises that start or end in Rome will treat you to such sights as the Colosseum and the Vatican.

Related: Best Mediterranean cruise shore excursions

True history lovers will not be satisfied with only a week in this rich landscape. Choose Viking for your Eastern Mediterranean cruise, and look for longer itineraries, such as the 15-day "Ancient Mediterranean Antiquities" sailings throughout 2024, 2025 and 2026. The one-way sailing between Rome and Istanbul hits most of the ancient civilization highlights: Naples and Sicily, Italy; Rhodes, Crete and Athens, Greece; and Ephesus, Troy and Istanbul, Turkey.

Viking also offers complimentary shore excursions in every port, so you'll have access to knowledgeable guides who can explain the historical sites you're touring. On board, you'll find a comfortable home base on Viking's 930-passenger identical ships, with multiple included dining venues, inviting lounges with Scandinavian-inspired decor, and comfortable cabins with thoughtful details, such as quiet-closing drawers and heated bathroom floors.

Best cruise for explorers: Celebrity Cruises in the Holy Land

Note: Many cruise lines have altered Holy Land itineraries for 2024 to exclude Israel or canceled the sailings completely. However, most lines still have Holy Land voyages, including Israel, on their schedules for 2025.

Travelers who really want to double down on the ancient civilizations should look for longer Eastern Mediterranean cruises that combine Greece, Turkey and Italy with port calls in Egypt, Jordan and Israel. Depending on the specific Holy Land itinerary, you might see Cairo and the pyramids of Giza, Jordan's ancient rose-hewed rock city of Petra, and biblical locations in and around Jerusalem.

Celebrity Cruises is a terrific choice for your Holy Land cruise, as the company offers 10- and 11-night Egypt and Israel sailings. For example, a 10-night, round-trip Athens cruise visits Haifa and Ashdod, Israel (for Jerusalem) and Alexandria, Egypt; it has overnights in each port except Haifa. The extra time in port allows for overnight tours, so you can venture farther into each country to see all the key sites. The 11-night version adds a stop in Kusadasi for a visit to Ephesus.

Celebrity's ships are known for their foodie culture, with multiple specialty restaurants, as well as a happening bar scene. (Do not miss the martini flights.) With a range of rooms, from windowless inside cabins to comfortable suites, you can tour the Holy Land at any price point.

Best cruise for culture vultures: Norwegian Cruise Line in the Western Mediterranean

For foodies, fashionistas and art lovers, it's hard to top a Western Mediterranean cruise to the renowned resort towns and famed coastal cities of Italy, France and Spain.

This is your opportunity to see Antoni Gaudi's fantastical Sagrada Familia church and other creations in Barcelona; visit Michelangelo's David sculpture and other Renaissance treasures in Florence, Italy; learn about the iconic film festival in dreamy Cannes, France; and stroll through the beautiful walled city of Dubrovnik.

You can shop for Italian, French and Spanish designer fashion when you're not dining on the best Italian pasta and gelato you've ever tasted (or bouillabaisse and escargot in France, or paella and tapas in Spain). All are accompanied by local wines, of course.

Related: How I skipped the cruise ship tour in Italy and had a better, cheaper adventure on my own

Norwegian Cruise Line offers a variety of Western Mediterranean cruises to key ports in Spain, Italy and France. Norwegian Escape sails the Mediterranean in the spring and fall of 2025. It offers 10- and 11-night cruises that call on a variety of major ports.

For example, 11-night cruises on select dates in 2025 sail from Barcelona to Trieste, Italy. They visit Palma de Mallorca, Spain; Cannes; Florence, Rome, Naples and Taormina (Messina), Italy; Valletta, Malta; Corfu, Greece; and Dubrovnik and Split, Croatia.

It's a shame that the itinerary has no sea days because the ship offers plenty to keep cruisers busy on board. There's a wealth of dining options, from a French date-night restaurant to a tapas bar. There's also a water park, a ropes course and a spa with a salt room and a snow room.

Best cruise for families: Royal Caribbean in the Mediterranean

When looking for a cruise with children , you'll want to have a mix of time exploring on land and time playing on the ship. Ships offer kids clubs as well as attractions like video arcades and waterslides. Look for an itinerary that includes one or more fun-filled days at sea.

Kids will enjoy such sights as the Colosseum, where they might pretend that they are gladiators; the flower market in Nice, France; and the Leaning Tower of Pisa (on a shore excursion from Livorno, Italy). They will also enjoy visiting the beaches in the Greek islands and eating pizza in Naples. If you can find a cruise that includes the Italian seaside villages of Cinque Terre (accessible from Genoa, Livorno and Portofino), fans of Disney's animated feature "Luca" will be ecstatic.

Family favorite Royal Caribbean has a variety of ships and itineraries sailing around Europe, but a top option for 2025 is a seven-night Western Mediterranean cruise aboard Allure of the Seas. The round-trip itinerary departs from Rome. Additional ports of call include Naples and La Spezia, Italy (for Florence); Palma de Mallorca; and Marseille, France.

Family-friendly entertainment on board is plentiful. On sea days, you can access three main pool areas, a kiddie splash zone, surfing simulators, a miniature golf course and even a zip line.

Missing American teen who left cruise ship at German port found safe in a city more than 100 miles away

A 14-year-old American boy missing for three days after he walked away from a Caribbean Princess cruise ship at a German port was found safe Saturday, police and a family member said.

Aydin Brown had been on the cruise with his grandmother, but left the ship after its scheduled stop at Rostock-Warnemünde on Thursday morning, authorities said.

Rostock city police said in a statement that the teenager was found about 10 p.m. Saturday in the city of Brandenburg, which is about 120 miles south of the port.

"Intensive investigations and the analysis of technical data led the Rostock criminal police to track down the youth, who had been staying near Potsdam," the Rostock department said.

Potsdam is a city adjacent to Brandenburg. Both are just west of Berlin. A family member of Brown's provided initial confirmation late Saturday that the teen had been found safe.

Authorities said a 19-year-old who Brown apparently had arranged to meet was with him Saturday night. "There is no evidence of a criminal offense," Rostock police said in their statement.

Earlier Saturday, state and local police distributed three new photos of Brown as their search continued. Two of the photos, captured from security video, included an unknown man who appeared to be speaking with Brown. In an earlier statement, Rostock municipal police said they wanted to identify him as they searched for the missing teen.

Princess Cruises said in a statement late Saturday that Brown had been reunited with family and thanked German authorities for finding the teenager.

“We are delighted that Aydin Brown has been found safe and sound,” the cruise line said in a statement Saturday. “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to German authorities for their swift response and exceptional efforts in locating Aydin after he disembarked in Warnemunde last Thursday morning.”

Brown’s grandmother left the ship Thursday night amid the first hours of the search for Brown, Princess Cruises said on Friday, and the company flew his mother to Germany.

According to cruise ship tracker CruiseMapper , the 12-day journey travels the Baltic Sea, with destinations that include Copenhagen, Denmark, and Stockholm, Sweden. The round-trip cruise started in Southampton, England, on June 30 and was scheduled to return on July 12, according to the site.

See the secret lounges where the crew on a new ultra-luxury cruise ship spend their free time — from a spa to a hidden bar

• Silversea's new Silver Ray cruise ship has 544 crew members to tend to its 728 guests.
• The ship has 333 crew cabins and 540 beds, which means some have to share their rooms.
• The workers spend their free time in various common areas like a secret bar and small spa.

It takes a village to keep a cruise ship running . And after a long day of work, the villagers deserve a beer and a massage.

On luxury cruise line Silversea's new ship, Silver Ray , guests can dine on free tins of caviar, luxuriate in the complimentary spa, and drink as many fancy cocktails as their hearts desire.

It's one of Silversea's parent company, Royal Caribbean Group's , most high-end and contemporary ships. And much of its ritzy onboard experience is made possible by the crew.

Silver Ray has 544 crew members to tend to its 728 guests.

This one-to-1.3 staff-to-guest ratio is hard to miss, from the suite's affable butlers to the workers who remember your name after meeting you once in passing.

This kind of high-touch service is, in part, what distinguishes mass-market cruise lines from their luxury counterparts.

Workers' hours vary vastly depending on their positions.

For example, some bakers work overnight to prepare the bread for breakfast service, while others — like some of the bar stsff — don't start work until the afternoon, although their shift could go into the early morning hours as well.

They can head to the gym to decompress after a long day (or night) of work.

Alessandro Zanello, Silver Ray's captain, told reporters during a media panel in June that he thinks the crew gym on Silver Ray "is better than most of the guest gyms on previous ships."

It looks less than half the size of the guest one on Silver Ray — but at it's furnished with staples like treadmills, free weights, and resistance equipment.

What better way to recover from a workout than to sit in the steam room?

That's right. Silver Ray also has a staff-only spa.

The compact space has a steam room and two plush massage chairs separated by a curtain. They're first come, first serve — and, of course, in high demand, Zanello said.

Silver Ray's guests can indulge at the ship's eight bars.

The crew has a bar, too.

Most of the ship's guest-facing bars are posh and elegant. This one feels more contemporary, with modern light fixtures and trendy art pieces that brighten the pockets of seating.

Or, they can spend their free time lounging in the dayroom.

Here, folks can chit-chat at a large window-lined booth or charge their phones while perusing the internet (using Starlink , of course).

The dayroom is also equipped with the same coffee machines as the one available in the guest observation lounge. So, instead of sharing an old pot of black coffee, the team can instantly brew themselves a latte or cappuccino.

The 2,350 workers on Royal Caribbean Group’s new world-largest cruise ship, Icon of the Seas, has a game room stocked with consoles.

Unfortunately, Silver Ray doesn't have a staff-only game room . But at least the lounge has a foosball table!

The conjoined outdoor space is much simpler, furnished with only a few seats and tables.

Workers are also welcome to sunbathe in a small sliver of the guest area on the top deck. But with that comes rules, like no music, food, drinks, or nudity, according to a sign posted on a crew bulletin board.

Don't expect to see all of your waitstaff at the breakfast buffet.

They have their own small buffet, stocked four times daily for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night from 10:30 p.m. to midnight.

The crew represents 45 nationalities worldwide. To accommodate all these backgrounds, Rohit Dimir, Silver Ray's executive chef, told reporters during a ship tour in June that their meals are generally a mix of global cuisines, from "oriental soup" to salads and grilled foods.

The adjacent dining room is open around the clock.

Andrea Tonet, Silversea's vice president of product strategy, told reporters that about 98% of Silver Ray's private and public spaces have ocean views and floor-to-ceiling glass walls.

While the crew mess doesn't have these expansive windows, it does have small portholes that brighten the dense space.

More contemporary art — like a print of "Girl with a Pearl Earring" with a face tattoo — brings personality to the large dining room, as do the television screens streaming programs like Fox News.

There’s nothing better than decompressing alone in your bedroom after a long day of work.

For some workers, "alone" isn't part of the equation.

Silver Ray has 364 guest suites (the smallest of which is pictured above), all with sumptuous amenities like walk-in closets, balconies, and butlers.

In comparison, the ship's 333 crew cabins have 540 beds, which means some have roommates.

On the bright side, Zanello said some accommodations have more than one TV. So, if Fox News in the dining room isn't cutting it, and you don't want to watch your roommate's movie, at least you'll have your own TV.

After all, happy crew, happy cruise.
