Louis Cruises was formed in 1986. It is one of the biggest and most respected icons in tourism across the Eastern Mediterranean. It is a diverse collection of small to mid-sized ships dedicated to get you closer to the real Mediterranean treasures. These ships are continuously refurbished and upgraded to meet the highest step of contemporary quality and service.

The line offers mainly short, port-intensive itineraries which spend more time on shore to allow guests to enjoy the individual charms. While these are not luxury ships, they are run in a professional manner, and passengers – for the most part, view them as floating hotels to get them to interesting places – are usually satisfied with the onboard experience.

Itineraries

The company operates seven ships exclusively in the Mediterranean Sea, Aegean Sea and Red Sea all year round. Two- and three-night cruises to the Greek Isles, the Holy Land and Lebanon originate from the line's operational base in Limassol, Cyprus. From Athens (Piraeus), Greece, three-, four- and seven-night cruises depart to the Greek Isles and, occasionally, the Black Sea. Finally, the company has established a beachhead in the Western Mediterranean with a variety of 6- to 12-night, year-round cruises from Marseille and Genoa.
