Travel Dynamics International has operated small-ship cruises since 1969. The company focuses on educational and cultural travel for adults, with distinguished guest lecturers and guided shore excursions included in the fare.

In 2013, TDI's Mediterranean season runs from April 20 through mid-October. Destinations include ports in Spain, Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Greece, Turkey, and other countries from North Africa to the Black Sea.

Cruises in the Mediterranean during 2013 will be on board the Corinthian, a small ship (renovated in 2009) that has 50 staterooms, carries no more than 100 passengers, and has a crew of 60.

In the past, TDI also has offered Mediterranean cruises on an even smaller ship, the 34-passenger Callisto. (A 2013 schedule for Callisto hadn't been announced when this page was last updated in November, 2012.)
