Mediterranean cruises: where culture runs deep
If you're planning a Mediterranean cruise in 2026, you'll find a wide range of departures across the season. From early spring sailings to late autumn itineraries, you can cruise around the Mediterranean and immerse yourself in the diverse cultures, landscapes, and architecture of this ancient region. From France's prehistoric cave paintings to Italy's Renaissance palaces and Greece's ancient ruins, a Mediterranean cruise gives you ample opportunity to explore the rich history of the area.
Natural beauty, history and food — all in one voyage
Discover the natural beauty of the Mediterranean, from Portugal's vast sands to the hidden coves along Turkey's rugged coast and the pine-clad cliffs of Sardinia. Sail on an eastern Mediterranean cruise and take in the Greek Islands, the timeless Croatian coastline, and the beaches of Tel Aviv.
From the ruins of the Acropolis in Athens to the Colosseum in Rome, the Mediterranean is a treasure trove of historical landmarks. Explore the Napoleonic city of Ajaccio or visit the ancient Pyramids of Giza from Alexandria. Foodies will find plenty to enjoy too, from Spanish tapas and Portuguese pastries to Turkish kebabs and some of the world's most celebrated wine regions.
Romance, coastlines and city life
From the western Mediterranean to the Amalfi Coast, with its rocky cliffs and quaint villages, there's a different mood around every headland. Savour the wines of Tuscany, or explore Venice with its canals and romantic gondola rides.
A Mediterranean cruise from the UK offers a mix of cosmopolitan cities, ancient ruins, stretches of coastline and exceptional food. Whether you're travelling as a couple, with friends, or exploring solo, there's something in this part of the world that tends to stay with you.
