And old-town street in Limassol, Cyprus with exposed sandstone brickwork, white limewash walled buildings and blue doors and window shutters. There are tables and chairs laid our from a bar and in the distance, you can see the tall white tower of a nearby church.
Discover the Sun-Kissed Coastline
A cruise vacation to Cyprus brings you to a crossroads of the eastern Mediterranean, where influences from the Near East, Greece, and later empires have shaped the island over thousands of years. From prehistoric settlement to the legacies of the Greeks, Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans, Cyprus reflects a long and layered history. The island's varied landscape adds to its appeal, from sunlit coasts and rugged peninsulas to the cooler slopes of the Troodos Mountains. Vineyards, castles, and monasteries further enrich the journey, making even a short visit feel rewarding.

Cyprus cruise stop highlights
The port city of Limassol pairs a contemporary skyline with a long history, where new waterfront developments stand alongside older churches and historic quarters. Stroll along the seafront promenade for wide coastal views, or continue to Pafos, whose UNESCO-listed archaeological sites offer a deeper look into Cyprus's ancient past.
Made from sun-dried grapes, Commandaria is one of the world's oldest named wines still in production. References to sweet Cypriot wine appear in ancient sources, and the name Commandaria is linked to the Knights Hospitaller, who were established on the island during the Crusader period. It remains one of Cyprus's most distinctive traditional wines today.
