Cruise overview

Explore the Mediterranean on a far-reaching journey that reveals the tastes and traditions linking the sea’s storied shores. Offered in collaboration with the experts at Food & Wine, this voyage invites you to explore culturally rich islands and coastal towns, and experience the enduring rhythms of life along these age-old waterways. As you sail, the region’s layers come into view—mythology embedded in dramatic landscapes, architecture shaped by successive empires, and daily life unfolding in harbors and hillside villages. Regional flavors further enrich the journey, from fresh local ingredients to distinctive wines that reflect the terrain. Aboard the nimble National Geographic Orion, you’ll navigate narrow passages like the Corinth Canal and enjoy curated wine tastings as you sail these storied maritime crossroads.
