Compare Mediterranean cruises

The irresistible Med. The region may be just a couple of hours' flight from the UK, but it certainly feels worlds away. Frolicking in the turquoise waters of Montenegro’s coastline, feasting on fresh catch in Sicily, or partying on the vibrant rooftops of Barcelona… they’re the recipe for an alluring vacation, one drenched in romance and adventure.

Scorching temperatures for much of the year mean long hot summers are extended when you bookend with a trip to the Mediterranean. But even for if you decide to visit in the winter, temperatures are mild and come with the perk of excellent prices from ship to shore.

Cruising these sun-kissed isles has surged in popularity with travellers of all ages. They’re ticking off more destinations than they ever have before, and they need only flash their passports one time.

That’s because when you cruise, you leave many logistics behind at the point of embarkation. Simply unpack once, get comfy and explore your own pace. On-board entertainment, food and drink, and wellness are at your disposal, and ashore, you can opt-in for the cruise line’s house excursions or embark on your own designed adventure.

No matter what size of party you’re cruising in, be it solo or with multiple generations of family, there is a Mediterranean cruise to suit your needs. They span budget-friendly Mediterranean cruises on Ambassador where you depart from the UK, to the cool adults-only all-inclusives on Virgin Voyages. Whatever floats your boat, we’ve got just the ticket to Greece, Italy, Spain or Croatia.
