For Australian travellers seeking a Mediterranean journey that blends luxury, culture, and authenticity, Seabourn offers a refined way to explore the region’s lesser-known treasures.

With intimate ships, personalised service, and exclusive experiences, Seabourn transforms each port into a story worth telling.

Here are four standout destinations where Seabourn’s touch makes all the difference:Taormina, Sicily, Italy

Perched high above the Ionian Sea, Taormina is a Sicilian gem known for its ancient Greek theatre and sweeping views of Mount Etna. Seabourn guests can explore the town’s charming laneways, visit local wineries on the volcanic slopes, or join a Shopping with the Chef experience through colourful markets brimming with Sicilian produce. Onboard, regional dishes and wines continue the immersion into Sicily’s rich culinary heritage. Kuşadası, Türkiye

While Kuşadası is the gateway to the ancient city of Ephesus, Seabourn offers something truly unforgettable: Evening in Ephesus. This exclusive event invites guests to a private classical concert under the stars at the Library of Celsus—an experience reserved only for Seabourn travellers. Earlier in the day, guests can explore the remarkably preserved ruins with expert guides, gaining insight into one of the most important cities of the ancient world. Calvi, Corsica, France

Tucked along Corsica’s rugged coastline, Calvi offers a blend of French elegance and Mediterranean charm. With Seabourn, guests can stroll the cobbled streets of the old town, hike through fragrant maquis-covered hills, or relax on pristine beaches. Optional excursions include visits to local farms and vineyards, where Corsican flavours come to life. The ship’s smaller size allows for a more intimate docking experience, just steps from the heart of town. Agios Nikolaos, Crete, Greece

This picturesque port on Crete’s eastern coast is a gateway to authentic Greek culture. Seabourn guests can explore the ancient ruins of Knossos, visit olive oil estates, or enjoy a relaxed day by the turquoise waters of Mirabello Bay. Culinary excursions highlight Cretan traditions, and onboard, guests can savour Greek-inspired menus paired with local wines. The relaxed pace and warm hospitality make Agios Nikolaos a standout for those seeking a more personal connection to Greece.

More Mediterranean Highlights

While these ports offer unique and enriching experiences, Seabourn also visits other Mediterranean favourites such as:

• Barcelona, Spain – Tapas, Gaudí, and Shopping with the Chef.

• Santorini, Greece – Caldera views and boutique wine tastings.

• Valletta, Malta – Baroque beauty and private palace concerts.

• Dubrovnik, Croatia – Medieval walls and Adriatic adventures.

• Istanbul, Türkiye – East-meets-West culture and Bosphorus cruising.

Whether you’re enjoying a private concert in ancient Ephesus or browsing Sicilian markets with Seabourn’s chef, every moment is designed to be immersive, luxurious, and unforgettable.

For Australians seeking a Mediterranean cruise that goes beyond the expected, Seabourn is the ultimate way to travel in style.
