On a typical seven-day Mediterranean cruise you might visit four, five, or even six different countries, with very little time actually at sea. On a typical 14-day itinerary, you might visit seven or eight countries, but there will also be time at sea to enjoy more of life onboard. The most enjoyable itineraries are planned so that the first day and the last day of your cruise will be at sea. So to get the most from your voyage you should go for at least two weeks. [3]
