EUROPE & THE MEDITERRANEAN

Few cruise destinations are as popular as Europe and the Mediterranean. The region draws visitors for its sparkling azure seas and historic cobblestone plazas, but the real seduction often happens at mealtime. Olive oil flows freely. Tomatoes taste impossibly sweet. Aperitivo in Milan turns into dinner; dinner in Barcelona drifts toward midnight. In Athens, grilled octopus arrives with nothing more than lemon and sea salt; in Provence, rosé is practically a food group.
