Mediterranean Cruises

Western Mediterranean

Cruises visiting the western shores of the Mediterranean are very popular with British holidaymakers as many are available sailing directly from the UK. Capture the exclusive glamour of the French and Italian Rivieras, take in the art and architectural wonders of Florence and Rome, discover the lost cities of Pompeii, join the festivities in the Spanish ports of Barcelona and Valencia. Kick back and relax on the charming islands of Majorca, Ibiza, Menorca, Corsica and Sardinia or even get a glimpse of true Arabian culture in Tunis or Tangier.

Eastern Mediterranean

The Eastern Mediterranean provides a fantastic array of sightseeing options. From the wonders of Athens and the Greek isles, to the grandeur of Istanbul and ancient ruins of Ephesus. From the renaissance-era palaces of Croatia, to the ancient ports of the Black Sea the whole area is rich in incredible shore experiences. In general, itineraries are more port intensive due to the close proximity of fascinating destinations to each other. Although some itineraries to the Eastern Mediterranean do sail from Southampton, the majority operate as fly-cruises, where you will fly to join the ship in places such as Venice, Athens or Istanbul.
