T he history of Mediterranean cruising is closely tied to the beginnings of cruising itself: the first ever passenger cruise by P&O Cruises embarked from Southampton, U.K. in 1844 to Athens, Gibraltar and Malta. 140 years later, the Mediterranean continues to be one of the world’s most desirable destinations for cruisers. The best Mediterranean cruises make it easy to enjoy the region’s scenic views, storied culture and world-renowned cuisine with comfortable accommodations, thoughtful amenities and personal touches that prioritize your interests and travel pace.

If island hopping in the Mediterranean is on your radar this year, we’ve selected the best cruises for every type of travel style, from families and couples to foodies and history buffs. Our top overall pick is Princess Cruises’ newly launched Sun Princess ship, which calls upon Montenegro, Corfu, Sicily and more. For foodies, we love the premium cuisine found onboard Silversea Cruise’s Silver Moon , and for couples, the romantic Viking Saturn is sure to be a hit. Below, our selections for the best Mediterranean cruises of 2024.

Best luxury mediterranean cruise: the ritz-carlton yacht collection, evrima, best mediterranean cruise for families: disney cruise line, disney dream, best mediterranean cruise for couples: viking, viking saturn, best value mediterranean cruise: holland america line, oosterdam, best mediterranean cruise for history lovers: azamara cruises, azamara pursuit, best mediterranean cruise for foodies: silversea cruises, silver moon, best mediterranean cruise for active travelers: celebrity cruises, celebrity ascent.

The 7-Day Mediterranean with Greece & Italy on the brand new Sun Princess, setting sail on her inaugural voyage in February, is a terrific way to experience this part of the world.

Sun Princess

Recommended Itinerary : 7-Day Mediterranean with Greece and Italy

Departures : March-September 2024; April-June 2025; August 2025; October 2025

All-Star Amenities : Medallion, a wearable device that makes the cruise experience effortless; the Signature Collection, exclusive to Sun Princess : premium stateroom amenities and exclusive access to a restaurant, lounge, sun deck and more; the Reserve Collection, debuting on Sun Princess : premium location mini-suites and exclusive access to a private restaurant and more

Princess Cruises first started sailing in the Mediterranean in 1985, and the cruise line has never looked back. In celebration of its 40th anniversary in the Med next year, the cruise line is sending the new Sun Princess to join her sister ship, Star Princess , for her first season of cruising. Until then, the 7-Day Mediterranean with Greece & Italy on the brand new Sun Princess is a terrific way to experience this part of the world. Departing Piraeus, near Athens, she calls upon Montenegro; Corfu, Greece; and Sicily and Naples, Italy, before arriving in Barcelona, with plenty of shore excursions from which to choose. Back onboard, there’s no shortage of activities to keep guests busy, from the Sea Breeze Rollglider, the first at sea, at Park19; to a Victorian-themed bar with magicians performing tricks; and Love by Britto, an imaginative and colorful culinary experience curated by Rudi Sodamin.

The yacht sails myriad Mediterranean itineraries ranging from five to 13 nights, calling upon the most captivating ports in the region.

Recommended Itinerary : 10-night Venice to Rome

Departures : July 2024; July 2025

All-Star Amenities : Less than 300 guests; all-suite accommodations, each with private terrace; onboard marina with water toys; five restaurants; six lounges; The Ritz-Carlton Spa; cigar lounge; customized shore excursions

Enjoy the exemplary service you have come to expect from The Ritz-Carlton Hotels when sailing the Mediterranean with The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. Whether you opt for the 300-square-foot Terrace Suite, the 1,091-square-foot Owner’s Suite, or any sized suite in between, you will quickly feel right at home and find yourself living the yachting lifestyle on Evrima, which is Greek for “discovery.” The yacht sails myriad Mediterranean itineraries ranging from five to 13 nights, calling upon the most captivating ports in the region. We recommend the 10-night Venice to Rome itinerary, which explores Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast before calling upon Montenegro, the Amalfi Coast and Capri before arriving in Rome. Curated excursions in each port are designed to provide exceptional experiences that make the most of each destination. In true Ritz-Carlton fashion, the Concierge Ashore can also create a personalized outing tailor-made just for you.

Just like other Disney Cruise Line sailings, its Mediterranean cruises feature spacious cabins, kids clubs, all meals, Broadway-quality shows and more.

Disney Dream

Recommended Itinerary : 9-Night Mediterranean with Greek Isles Cruise from Barcelona ending in Civitavecchia (Rome)

Departures : June 2024

All-Star Amenities : Wide range of spacious cabins, all with split bathrooms; Broadway-quality shows; specialty dining restaurants; adults-only pool and hot tub; spa and salon; unparalleled kids’ activities

Combining the rich history and ancient cultures of some of the Mediterranean’s most iconic destinations with all of the fun of a Disney vacation, Disney Cruise Line is a great option for families of all sizes. Choose from itineraries that range from five to 11 nights, all of which sail aboard the Disney Dream . Just like other Disney Cruise Line sailings around the world, its Mediterranean cruises feature spacious cabins with split bathrooms; kids clubs for ages three to 17; all meals, including snacks and room service; Broadway-quality shows; and more. Adults can find plenty of alone time on a Mediterranean Disney Cruise, too, with adult-exclusive dining, an adults-only pool and hot tub, a fitness center and a spa for ultimate relaxation. Shore excursions on the 9-night Mediterranean with Greek Isles Cruise include 4x4 adventures, sailing, fiestas, tasting tours, archeological expeditions and more.

Highlights of the complimentary shore excursions on this itinerary include a panoramic tour of Corsica, seeing the sights in Rome and Algiers and a walking tour of Málaga, to name a few.

Viking Saturn

Recommended Itinerary : 15-night Malta, Morocco and the Mediterranean

Departures : November-December 2024; February-March and November-December 2025

All-Star Amenities : Five categories of spacious staterooms, some of which are the largest at sea; destination-focused dining, highlighting regional specialties; impeccable service; complimentary shore excursions in each port of call

Viking has curated a group of itineraries during the quiet season in the Mediterranean—the fall and winter—when there are fewer travelers, easier access to iconic landmarks and more opportunities to interact with the locals for a more immersive experience. One of those itineraries is the 15-night Malta, Morocco and the Mediterranean cruise, sailing round-trip from Barcelona. The newly added itinerary lends itself to days of lingering longer to explore ports like Marseille, France, Valletta, Malta, Casablanca, Morocco and plenty more. Complimentary shore excursions are included with each Viking cruise; on the itinerary, guests can choose from excursions like a panoramic tour of Corsica, sightseeing in Rome and Algiers, and a walking tour of Málaga, to name a few. Couples who want some alone time can also choose to wander off together and find their own way to spend each day. Back onboard Viking Saturn , relax in your spacious cabin, enjoy a cultural performance, enjoy a wine pairing dinner at the Chef’s Table, or enroll in a cooking class to learn how to take the flavors of the Mediterranean back home with you.

Sailing roundtrip from Piraeus, near Athens, the 7-Day Jewels of the Mediterranean itinerary calls upon Rhodes, Santorini and Mykonos, Greece, as well as ports in Turkey and Cyprus.

Recommended Itinerary : 7-Day Jewels of the Mediterranean: Greece, Turkey and Cyprus

Departures : May 2024

All-Star Amenities : Less than 2,000 guests; a variety of balcony accommodations; Mariner's Dream beds with plush Euro-top mattresses; pickleball courts; two specialty dining restaurants; private balcony breakfast or dinner

Holland America Line makes the jewels of the Mediterranean accessible to every budget, all while delivering comfortable accommodations, myriad onboard activities to enjoy during sea days and plenty of dining options. Those cuisine offerings highlight fresh, regional dishes, including new dishes from Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto, the cruise line’s Global Fresh Fish Ambassador. Sailing roundtrip from Piraeus, near Athens, the 7-Day Jewels of the Mediterranean itinerary calls upon Rhodes, Santorini and Mykonos, Greece, as well as ports in Turkey and Cyprus. Venture out and discover the ports on your own, or choose to join excursions coordinated by the Holland America team, ranging from visiting UNESCO World Heritage Sites and Seven Wonders of the World, to soaking up the Mediterranean sun on a gold-sand beach, to wandering the narrow streets of Oia, a town on the island of Santorini known for its blue-domed buildings.

Curated excursions highlight the history of different ports of call, showing them in a different light.

Azamara Pursuit

Recommended Itinerary : 11-Night Best Of the Med Voyage, from Venice to Barcelona

Departures : May 2024; July 2024; October 2024

All-Star Amenities : Gratuities included in fare; fresh flowers and plush robes in each stateroom and suite; seven restaurants, cafes and lounges; special dietary needs accommodated; White Night party; new Sanctum Spa

The Mediterranean is rich in history, and Azamara’s 11-night Best Of the Med Voyage dives right in, starting in Venice, with its cobblestone streets, overarching bridges and iconic canals weaving through the city. From there, Azamara Pursuit calls upon ports in Croatia, France and other parts of Italy before arriving in Barcelona. Curated excursions highlight the history of these ports of call, yet show them in a different light. For example, cruisers can opt to take a tuk-tuk ride through the historic city of Zadar on the Dalmatian Coast, go hiking in Ston, built in 1335 and considered one of Europe’s best-planned cities, or stroll through the medieval walls of Old Town Dubrovnik. In Italy, guests can travel to the ancient seaside resort town of Herculaneum to witness its archeological excavations and recovered ruins, wander the Renaissance city of Lucca, or watch an Italian opera at the Goldoni Theatre, which opened in 1847. Back onboard, cultural evenings featuring performances by locals will immerse you even further into each destination.

The cruise line’s all-new Sea And Land Taste (S.A.L.T.) culinary program was created to enable guests to travel deeper and learn about destinations’ culinary heritage.

Silver Moon

Recommended Itinerary : 20-Night Fusina (Venice) to Barcelona

Departures : July 2024; August 2024 (Barcelona to Fusina)

All-Star Amenities : Less than 600 guests; all-suite spacious accommodations, most with private verandas; highest guest-to-service ratio at sea; butler service; complimentary shore excursions and onboard lectures; all-new Sea And Land Taste (S.A.L.T.) culinary program

The Mediterranean is world-renowned for its excellent cuisine, so it’s no wonder that foodies flock here to experience the region through its many flavors and native dishes. Silversea invites its guests to dive right in with its 21-day Fusina (Venice) to Barcelona itinerary aboard the Silver Moon , calling upon 21 ports in seven countries, beginning in Venice and ending in Barcelona. The cruise line’s all-new Sea And Land Taste (S.A.L.T.) culinary program was created to enable guests to travel deeper and learn about each destinations’ culinary heritage through curated gastronomic experiences, both at sea and in port. Gastro excursions on the Fusina to Barcelona itinerary include an authentic farm-to-table dining experience in Dubrovnik, taking a cooking class and make some of the delicious specialties of Italy’s Apulian region, a full-day S.A.L.T. organic winery and cooking experience with lunch in Montenegro and a S.A.L.T. cook and taste of Sorrento with Michelin starred Chef Peppe Guida, to name a few. Back onboard the Silver Moon , step into the S.A.L.T. Lab to participate in cooking classes and workshops to learn more about regional dishes, including how to make them at home.

Whether on the water or solid ground, there are plenty of ways to keep active during Celebrity’s 9-night Italy, France & Spain itinerary, beginning in Rome and ending in Barcelona.

Celebrity Ascent

Recommended Itinerary : 9-Night Italy, France and Spain

Departures : June 2024, July 2024, August 2024 (also Spain, France and Italy)

All-Star Amenities : Widest variety of staterooms and suites in the entire Celebrity fleet of ships; two pools; fitness center; rooftop garden; 32 restaurants, bars and lounges; excursions rated from mild to strenuous.

The Mediterranean’s temperate weather beckons active travelers to spend their days outside exploring and immersing themselves in the region. Whether on the water or solid ground, there are plenty of ways to keep active during Celebrity’s 9-night Italy, France & Spain itinerary, beginning in Rome and ending in Barcelona. Cruisers can opt for the kayak and walking adventure in Valletta, where they can meander through farms, woodlands, and even Neolithic tombs before setting out in a kayak to paddle along the rugged coastline. Or, paddle a kayak along Corsica’s coastline to Trottel Beach, where you can relax under the warm sun, walk in the sand and swim in the clear water. In Sardinia, ride a 4x4 into the wetlands and oak forests before dismounting for a hike in the island wilderness. Onboard, the Celebrity Ascent keeps active guests engaged with its fitness center, activities and entertainment, and fueled for more activity with 32 restaurants, bars and lounges.

The 13 best solo cruises for 2024 (no supplement fare).

Set sail for a solo adventure at sea.

The Best Solo Cruises

Relax by the pool, attend shows, dine with new friends and more on your next solo cruise.

Whether you're embarking on your first cruise alone or you've been on solo cruises before, single travelers will find more options than ever when it comes to cruising solo. Many cruise lines offer single staterooms with the same amenities as other cabins, at a price similar to what you'd pay with double occupancy fares. You'll also find special promotions where the single supplement fee is reduced or waived, making it more affordable to reserve a spacious stateroom or luxurious suite with even more amenities – including personalized butler service, an added perk of booking with many luxury lines .

If you're ready for a maritime adventure, an extended vacation or simply a quick getaway from home, these top cruise lines offer some of the best options for solo travelers on waterways around the world.

Lines with solo accommodations and waived fees

Launched in 2010, Norwegian Epic was the first cruise ship in the industry to feature studio accommodations for solo travelers. Norwegian Cruise Line offers this category on nine of the 19 ships in its fleet, including the newest ship, Norwegian Viva. These cabins, at an average size of 100 square feet, are designed and priced with the solo traveler in mind. They have no single supplements – and studio rooms on board Norwegian Bliss even boast virtual windows.

Guests of the studios get access to the private Studio Lounge. In this exclusive space, you can socialize with other solo travelers and enjoy complimentary refreshments. There are also singles meetups throughout the voyage and plenty of fun-filled onboard activities to mingle with like-minded cruisers. Solo travelers can check out all the fun for singles on Norwegian Viva this winter on a cruise to the Caribbean , or in spring 2024 as the ship sets sail for the Mediterranean .

MSC Cruises

MSC Cruises offers interior and balcony solo cabins for single cruisers on its Meraviglia-class ships: the MSC Meraviglia, Bellissima, Grandiosa, Virtuosa and the newest vessel in the fleet, MSC Euribia. The second-newest ship, MSC World Europa, has 28 cabins – 10 Studio Interior and 18 Studio Ocean View staterooms – designed specifically for solo travelers. MSC World America, set to debut in 2025, will also feature the solo studio staterooms.

During voyages with MSC Cruises , single cruisers are invited to a complimentary, hosted cocktail party to mix and mingle with other solo travelers. The daily program is also an excellent source to discover additional activities, entertainment and opportunities to meet other cruisers. You'll have onboard special events like the themed 70s-inspired Flower Party and the White Party, where the ship is decked out in festive white decor and guests don their best white attire. In addition, there are various sports tournaments, or you can show off your culinary expertise during a MasterChef competition.

MSC's Caribbean and Bahamas cruises departing from Miami and New York City feature an overnight visit to Ocean Cay, the line's private island and marine reserve. While there, singles can participate in fun-filled evening activities like a Champagne Sunset Cruise or a glow paddleboarding excursion in the lagoon, then attend the lively Luna Libre Party and the lighthouse show.

Holland America Line

Michel Verdure | Courtesy of Holland America Line

Three of Holland America Line's newest ships each offer 12 solo cabins to accommodate single travelers: the Pinnacle-class Nieuw Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Konigsdam. These ocean view staterooms range in size from 127 to 172 square feet and feature the same amenities as the double occupancy cabins but with a double bed. The cruise line's Single Staterooms are priced for one person. If a guest chooses to book a different stateroom, single supplements for double occupancy cabins are as much as 100% over the standard fare, depending on the voyage and the cabin category.

Long committed to solo travelers, the line offers many activities where guests can meet other singles such as wine tastings, cocktail mixers, exercise classes, daily quizzes, sports challenges and more. If you're a solo traveler and a member of AARP, Holland America is now the exclusive cruise benefit provider to AARP's members. Solo cruisers will have access to an AARP member-only onboard credit that ranges from $50 to $200, depending on the itinerary and stateroom category.

For itineraries, Holland America's Alaska cruises and cruisetours are perfect for solo travelers, offering many opportunities to connect with fellow cruisers. Another favorite for singles is the line's fall voyages sailing from Boston to Québec City or Montreal.

Royal Caribbean International

Royal Caribbean International features studio staterooms on select ships that range in size from 101 to 199 square feet. These solo accommodations include interior rooms, virtual balcony staterooms and a super studio ocean view stateroom with a balcony. The cabins do not carry the single supplement fee singles encounter when booking other types of staterooms, making them an attractive option when traveling alone.

Once on board the ship, solo cruisers will have countless options to engage and socialize with other travelers. When it comes to dining with Royal Caribbean , make a reservation at the Japanese restaurant Teppanyaki for an entertaining meal with new friends, or join fellow foodies for the intimate Chef's Table experience (the dining venues vary by ship). Singles can also participate in onboard activities like trivia contests, drink seminars, escape rooms, dance classes and pool parties.

If you need more thrills to stay busy and to meet people, Royal Caribbean's ships feature world-class shows and entertainment alongside adrenaline-pumping rides and attractions. If you're sailing in the Caribbean, there are plenty of opportunities to meet and chat with other passengers at the line's private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay.

Atlas Ocean Voyages

Luxury line Atlas Ocean Voyages offers single cruisers 183 square feet of beautifully appointed space in solo accommodations that come without single supplement fees. These ocean view staterooms feature a queen bed, a panoramic picture window, a private spa bathroom with a rain shower and body jets, a stocked minifridge replenished daily with personal favorites, and other luxurious amenities. Single guests can also book other stateroom or suite categories with single supplements starting at 50% of the double occupancy price.

The line's three intimate yacht-style cruise ships – World Navigator, World Traveller and the new World Voyager, whose inaugural season begins in Antarctica in November 2023 – are all-inclusive . Meals at all the dining venues, premium beverages and wines, gratuities, culturally immersive excursions, and more are included in the fare. With fewer than 200 guests on board, there's an atmosphere of conviviality on these ships – especially when exploring remote destinations with like-minded and adventurous travelers during expeditions in Antarctica and the Arctic.

Title : Active carbons as nanoporous materials for solving of environmental problems

However, up to now, the main carriers of catalytic additives have been mineral sorbents: silica gels, alumogels. This is obviously due to the fact that they consist of pure homogeneous components SiO2 and Al2O3, respectively. It is generally known that impurities, especially the ash elements, are catalytic poisons that reduce the effectiveness of the catalyst. Therefore, carbon sorbents with 5-15% by weight of ash elements in their composition are not used in the above mentioned technologies. However, in such an important field as a gas-mask technique, carbon sorbents (active carbons) are carriers of catalytic additives, providing effective protection of a person against any types of potent poisonous substances (PPS). In ESPE “JSC "Neorganika" there has been developed the technology of unique ashless spherical carbon carrier-catalysts by the method of liquid forming of furfural copolymers with subsequent gas-vapor activation, brand PAC. Active carbons PAC have 100% qualitative characteristics of the three main properties of carbon sorbents: strength - 100%, the proportion of sorbing pores in the pore space – 100%, purity - 100% (ash content is close to zero). A particularly outstanding feature of active PAC carbons is their uniquely high mechanical compressive strength of 740 ± 40 MPa, which is 3-7 times larger than that of  such materials as granite, quartzite, electric coal, and is comparable to the value for cast iron - 400-1000 MPa. This allows the PAC to operate under severe conditions in moving and fluidized beds.  Obviously, it is time to actively develop catalysts based on PAC sorbents for oil refining, petrochemicals, gas processing and various technologies of organic synthesis.

Victor M. Mukhin was born in 1946 in the town of Orsk, Russia. In 1970 he graduated the Technological Institute in Leningrad. Victor M. Mukhin was directed to work to the scientific-industrial organization "Neorganika" (Elektrostal, Moscow region) where he is working during 47 years, at present as the head of the laboratory of carbon sorbents.     Victor M. Mukhin defended a Ph. D. thesis and a doctoral thesis at the Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia (in 1979 and 1997 accordingly). Professor of Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia. Scientific interests: production, investigation and application of active carbons, technological and ecological carbon-adsorptive processes, environmental protection, production of ecologically clean food.
