A port-by-port planning guide for first-time Mediterranean cruisers, covering how to get from each cruise terminal to the city, when to book a ship excursion versus going independently, which attractions need reservations, and how to build realistic shore days. It spans major ports from Barcelona and Rome via Civitavecchia to Santorini, Dubrovnik, Athens via Piraeus and Istanbul. It is a practical planning book rather than a destination photo book, aimed at travelers who want to avoid missed departures and wasted port time. Rivals tend to be broader cruise guides or generic destination guides; this one is narrower and focused on the logistics of each port day.

Mediterranean Cruise Travel Guide 2027-2028 is a port-by-port planning guide for first-time cruisers. It focuses on the decisions that shape a port day: where the ship docks, how far the city is from the terminal, whether to book an excursion or go independently, and which attractions need reservations.
It covers many Mediterranean cruise destinations, including Barcelona, Palma, Marseille, Monaco, Genoa, La Spezia, Livorno, Rome via Civitavecchia, Naples, Sicily, Malta, Venice and Marghera, Dubrovnik, Split, Kotor, Athens via Piraeus, Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes, Crete, Istanbul, Kuşadası and Ephesus, Cyprus, Tunis and Alexandria. It explains how to build realistic routes, choose transport, and plan 6-hour, 8-hour and 10-plus-hour port calls. It also covers gateway ports such as Civitavecchia for Rome, Livorno for Florence, Piraeus for Athens and Katakolon for Olympia.
The guide gives advice on tender queues, cable cars, steep streets, cobblestones and heat. It also covers cancelled tours, shortened calls, sold-out attractions, shore-excursion costs, cash, cards and roaming, and returning to the ship with a time buffer. Navigation is given in clear written directions and checkpoints rather than complicated printed maps.
