Rich with history, featuring monuments and ruins dating back to the earliest civilizations, the Mediterranean moves at a slower pace than its northern neighbors. Time-honored traditions dating back centuries intersect with the present day in the most engaging way. Discover the cliff-clinging pastel houses of Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast, the blue-domed whitewashed churches of Santorini, the massive columns of the Pantheon or the priceless treasures of the Vatican Museums. With harbors framed by limestone cliffs, charming cobblestone fishing villages and miles of pristine beaches, relax and experience it all on a Mediterranean luxury cruise with The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection.
