Best Luxury Cruise Line for Eastern Mediterranean?

[CelticMutt]

Hi, we're experienced cruisers in our early 60's planning our first Mediterranean cruise in spring 2014. We're looking for a cruise line a cut above in luxury for a week (maybe a little longer) in predominantly the western part of the Mediterranean. Suggestions as to line, ship, ports of call, excursions, and included services, etc would be welcome. TIA!

Need to know a cut above what?

What previous experience do you have?

a rough budget per night?

 

Start working through these companies in increasing luxury

 

Celebrity, Princess, Cunard, Holland America

Azamara, Oceania, Regent

Seabourn, Crystal, Silversea

[LHT28]

Regent, Silversea, Seabourn, Seadream & Crystal are all luxury lines

See what suits your lifestyle & budget

 

What works best for one person may not work best for you

 

Enjoy

The luxury lines were noted by LTH28.

 

They all have great attributes.

 

But what is best for one person is not always the best for another.

 

Take a look at them all.

 

They all have some similarities but also differences.

in my opinion Oceania and Azamara are a BIT UPSCALE BUT NOT QUITE AS PRICEY AS THE LUXURY SHIPS
