    Taking a cruise can be a fun, affordable way to experience Mediterranean Europe — if you choose the right cruise, keep your extra expenses to a minimum…and use this book to make the absolute most of your time in port. Unlike most cruising guidebooks, which dote on details about this ship's restaurants or that ship's staterooms, Rick Steves Mediterranean Cruise Ports focuses on the main attraction: some of the grandest cities in Europe. As always, Rick has a plan to help you have a meaningful cultural experience while you're there — even with just a few hours in port.

    Do Your Own Thing: Rick's book explains how to get into town from the cruise terminal, shares sightseeing tips, and includes tons of self-guided walks and tours.

    Cruise Smartly: You'll learn which destinations are best for an excursion — and which you can confidently visit on your own. You'll also get tips on choosing and booking a cruise, and plenty of hints for saving time and money on the ship and in port.
