Moved from Technical Support to the Cruise Forum

I see your thread has already had quite a trip and there are several cruise experts who may see it here. But I might also post over on the Europe Forum which is much busier.

Vacationstogo,com has a comprehensive website that is very easy to navigate and to plug in specific criteria to find what you want - if what you want does exist.

Something tells me that there is no cruise that fits exactly what you are hoping for. Norwegian Jade does do cruises between Athens and Barcelona and reverse. The itinerary changes somewhat as the season progresses. One goes to Ephesus, Rhodes, one includes Crete, etc. It would be a great cruise, but would be super hot in July and August. I have done a few Med cruises in September and it was still very warm. Also, all that I saw between Spain and Greece stop in Florence, Rome and Naples. Really, no help for that. Consider something between Turkey and Greece if you wish to avoid Italy. Of course, no Spain then. Are you looking for Greek Islands, mainland or what? If you can say more specifically what you hope to see, someone can help.

Look at Azamara. They have lots of cruises between Athens and Barcelona, but we took one last year from Venice to Barcelona that revisited many of our fave places, plus two stops in Croatia. We revisited Sorrento, Rome & Florence in the Italy stops, seeking out spots yet unseen (easy to do) on previous trips to Italy. We particularly liked Cassis in France too. They have 3 ships, each w 675 passengers or so. Azamara & Oceania also stop in Malta, Sicily, not sure about Sardinia or Corsica.

Check Royal Caribbean cruises for the Med next summer. They have some cruises starting in Barcelona which include Greece, Sicily & Turkey or Spain, French Riviera, Italy, various Greek Islands, Athens, Turkey and other combos.

Princess Cruises have great itineraries for the Med season and when we did that cruise we visited a lot of Greek ports. Barcelona, Vigo, Cadiz, Nice, Malta, Corfu, Rhodes, Piraeus for Athens were some of the places we managed to visit.
