What's great about Western Mediterranean cruises?
Our cruises to the Western Mediterranean include the crème de la crème of cosmopolitan Europe, covering countries like France, Portugal, Spain and Italy. You can call in at a league of extraordinary cities, from Messina to Malaga and Lisbon to Livorno. The shore excursions on our Mediterranean cruises blend history with hands-on activities – one day you might wander the ruins of Pompeii in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, and on another you could be cycling through the pretty streets of Barcelona.
There’s also a chance to dial things down a notch on a European cruise. You can go slow along the French Riviera or on castaway islands like Corsica and Sardinia. Plus, we stop off at some of Europe’s less high-profile cities – you can explore Gibraltar’s underground tunnels, or walk the ancient cobbled streets of Cadiz.
No matter where you drop anchor, though, our Mediterranean cruises promise to provide a bumper dose of culture and care-free fun. And if you want longer to see the sights, there’s the option of turning your cruise holiday into a Mediterranean Cruise & Stay break. This means you can spend extra nights in somewhere like Malaga and Majorca, where you can sip sangria by the seafront, eye up ancient cathedrals, or top up your tan in a sandy cove.
