The home of Western Civilisation from The Rock of Gibraltar to Eastern Turkey, the history and magnificence of cruising the Mediterranean will inspire any visitor.  The Eastern Mediterranean is the area that covers Italy, Greece, Turkey and the Adriatic.  The Western Mediterranean is the area from the west coast of Italy and covers France, Spain and North Africa including the Atlantic coast of Morocco and the Canary Islands. 

Many cruise lines position ships here for the northern summer so Mediterranean cruises combined with an Atlantic crossing are popular in spring and autumn.  Additionally cruise lines also move ships up to the Baltic in mid summer so there are a range of repositioning cruises to and from Scandinavia to consider as well.
