Region: Mediterranean

The Mediterranean is one of the most popular cruise destinations for UK holidaymakers thanks to its accessibility and wealth of fantastic ports of call.

From sun-kissed beaches and historic cities, to first-rate shopping and elegant cuisine, the Med offers a pleasant climate, exciting excursions and fantastic attractions for all to enjoy.

Choose a Western Mediterranean cruise to experience the unique Catalan culture of Barcelona, the Balearics’ unbeatable beaches, the chic boutiques of the French Riviera, and the famous ruins of Rome. Or head east to marvel at the timeless beauty of Venice, the russet roofs of Dubrovnik, the stunning monuments of ancient Athens, the idyllic Greek Islands, and so much more.

The Med’s close proximity to the UK makes it an ideal choice for holidaymakers looking for a convenient cruise option that doesn’t require flights. Multiple cruises sail from Southampton, while there are plenty of options for fly cruises leaving from Barcelona, Rome and Malta, among others, for those wanting a shorter or Eastern Med-only cruise.
