1st Cruise Holidays: Book with P&O, Princess, Fred Olsen Cruise Lines and more

Mediterranean

The Mediterranean stretches more than 2,000 miles from Gibraltar to the Black Sea in the East and the Suez Canal in the South East. More than 20 countries and islands border the Mediterranean with a diverse range of cultures all in a beautiful climate known as the ‘Cradle of Civilisation’. There are so many places to visit and one of the best ways to take in the breathtaking sights is by cruise ship. From Rome to Athens with their historical buildings and ancient sights to Barcelona and Cannes with their very cosmopolitan and exciting lifestyles there is so much to see. Or why not cruise the Greek Islands or the Balearic Islands. There is so much choice in the Mediterranean that even after several visits there will still be more to see.

Great places to visit are, Barcelona, Cadiz and Valencia in Spain. The French ports of Cannes, Villefranche, St Tropez, and Monte Carlo. Into Italy and we have Genoa, Civitavecchia for Rome, Livorno for Florence and Portofino, Venice and Sardinia. Then on to Greece for Athens and the islands of Mykonos, Rhodes, Santorini to name but a few.

The list goes on to Egypt, Cyprus, Morocco, Tunisia and more.

Cruises generally vary in duration, from 7 night fly/cruises, which get you to your cruise departure point normally, Barcelona, Palma, Rome, Athens, Venice or Genoa and the Mediterranean sun to longer 14 night ex UK departures. These cruises either depart Southampton or Dover and take 2 days before entering the warm waters of the Mediterranean.

Ex UK cruising is favoured by many as it reduces the hassle factor of airport check-ins and possible delays. Once arriving at the port, your luggage will be taken from you and will next be seen in your chosen cabin. You are then free to view the ship and make yourself familiar with the vessel so that by the time you arrive in your first port of call, you will feel that you are part of the ship and totally at home.

The Mediterranean is cruised 12 months of the year although the most popular times are May through to October.
