Mediterranean Cruises

An ever-increasing number of people are electing to ditch their traditional summer holiday in the Mediterranean in favour of a cruise around the region – and it isn’t hard to see why.

The waters around the Mediterranean offer the kind of variety you will struggle to find anywhere else, with stunning scenery, glamorous beach resorts and a mixture of culture-filled and entertainment-packed cities awaiting when you head ashore.

One day you could find yourself exploring the stunning coastline of the Côte d'Azur, visiting the playground of the rich and famous in Monte Carlo or marveling at the work of Gaudi in Barcelona.

The next, you could be joining the crowds paying a visit to the many historical sites across Rome, taking in the scenic views of a Greek Island or discovering some of the cultural sights that have helped to make Croatia one of Europe’s must see destinations.

Given how easily accessible the Mediterranean is from the UK, it’s a popular destination for those who are planning to holiday at sea with the children in tow.

There are plenty of family friendly options as a result when it comes to choosing your ship, with big ships that feature entertainment options aplenty down to smaller, five star vessels that offer all inclusive luxury for couples wanting to make their trip that little bit special.

A cruise to the Mediterranean is good for those who prefer not to fly, with trips available that sail from UK shores.

If you do require a flight in order to join your ship however, you’ll only be airbourne for a matter of hours before your cruise adventure gets underway in earnest.
