Cruiseco Azamara Journey charter 2015

Amber Wilson, International Marketing Manager at Cruiseco, says this itinerary provides guests with access to the lesser-known ports of the Mediterranean.

“Veering off the tourist track and stopping at some of the Mediterranean’s less-visited gateways, this exclusive itinerary combines sophisticated sailing with authentic cultural experiences. After the success of Mediterranean Montage, we wanted to provide guests with another unique cruising experience through this beautiful region, offering insight the Mediterranean’s more unusual destinations,” says Wilson.

“With fewer than 700 guests onboard, guests will travel in ultimate luxury, taking in stunning landscapes and history-laden ports along the way. This part of the world is like nothing you can imagine – with whitewashed villages cascading hillsides, near-transparent turquoise waters and narrow cobbled streets. You have to experience it to believe it and this Mediterranean voyage provides the perfect itinerary to do so.”

With five overnight stays and 30 ports of call, this voyage will showcase some of the Mediterranean’s most incredible destinations, coastlines and cuisines such as Mahon in Menorca, a Balearic island almost untouched by tourists, and Chania, the ancient Venetian city on the island of Crete.

Guests will also have the opportunity to discover Mgarr, a charming town surrounded by vineyards and overlooked by Fort Chambray, built in 1749; immerse themselves in the walled city of Dubrovnik, an ancient World Heritage Site; uncover the history of Limassol in Cyprus, which dates back to the 8th Century BC; and many more unusual ports off the beaten track.
