Inside an Expedition-Only Mediterranean Cruise with National Geographic

These are the Mediterranean ports the big ships can't reach. World of Cruising's Jack joins National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions aboard National Geographic Orion for a different kind of Mediterranean sailing - smaller ship, stranger places, none of the crowds. We start in Ston, Croatia - known locally as "little Dubrovnik," with its own ancient walls (the second-longest in Europe) and a fraction of the tourists. From there it's Melissani Cave on Kefalonia, Greece, an underground lake you can only reach by small boat through a collapsed cave roof. And then the moment only an expedition ship can pull off - Orion transits the Corinth Canal, a channel cut so narrow most modern ships physically cannot fit through it. Here's the thing most cruisers don't know: you can sail the Mediterranean and never see a single one of these places on a standard itinerary. This is what small-ship expedition cruising actually looks like.
