Depends on what you want in a cruise...


Have you been to the Med before?

Is there a specific part of the region you'd like to specialize in?

Do you want a large ship with all the amenities or a smaller ship with a quieter ambience?

What are your price constraints?

How long a cruise do you want?


Personally, my favorite is Celebrity...I think it offers the best of all worlds--large but uncrowded, excellent food and service...


If you want a smaller ship (and a higher price) try Azamara or Oceania...
