Why a cruise with flight?

If you do not want to spend several weeks at sea, the travel options are usually limited from your home port. Destinations in the Far East, the US or a round trip in the Mediterranean seem so unattainable. If you book the flight separately, you may expect some unpleasant surprises: fares can fluctuate greatly and you may have to take the flight on the day of your dream at a particularly low price. Even if a passable flight is found, it can still be late and cause a delay in your arrival at your departure port.

This does not happen to you with our cruise with flight offers: Find your cruise with flight and benefit not only from the low airfare, but also from a smooth journey. The airport transfer takes care of getting you from the airport to the ship in time. Even if you have a delayed or delayed flight, you do not have to worry, as the cruise line will take care of your cruise. Depending on the circumstances, the ship will either wait for you or you will be taken to the nearest port and board.

Fly Cruise Shipping Companies

Many cruise lines offer the practical combination offer, but you will often find it at Oceania Cruises, Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Hapag-Lloyd Cruises . Of course, this also depends on the distance of your desired destination, since not every cruise route is suitable for a combination offer with flight. We are happy to assist you in choosing a suitable trip.

A golden coastline filled with rich history and culture

The Med is one of the world’s best sailing destinations and our Mediterranean cruise tours will have you floating across the glittering ocean, then docking at vibrant ports from Italy to Greece to Turkey where you can soak up all the iconic attractions.

Iconic departure ports

The Mediterranean means “in the midst of lands” and it holds true to its name, with the coastline winding around parts of Europe, Africa and even Asia. We know you can’t wait to explore these fascinating regions, so our Mediterranean tours packages always include time at the most iconic departure ports like Athens, Rome, Venice, Palermo, Istanbul and Dubrovnik. Why not see the best of the Mediterranean cities and the sea in one unforgettable trip?

World-class cruising

Picture this - you’re lounging on a sunny deck, wind in your hair, cocktail in hand as you sail the sparkling seas. If that sounds like your perfect holiday, our best Mediterranean cruises will make your travel dreams come true. From the scenic canals of Venice to the turquoise Dalmatian Coast and the shimmering Aegean Sea, you’ll cruise the Mediterranean on premium ships with heartfelt service and local experts all the way.

Incredible shore excursions

If you can tear your eyes away from the coastline, you’ll discover an incredible world on land with our shore excursions in the Mediterranean. See the Italian masterpieces in Florence and the Vatican, or explore the ancient ruins of Olympia and Delphi. Witness the flamenco dance in Barcelona or marvel at the Whirling Dervishes in Konya. Enjoy local wine tastings in Nemea or Tuscany, or discover the aromatic spices of Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar.

All you need to know about Mediterranean Cruises & Vacations Packages

What is the best time of year to cruise the mediterranean.

You can head off on a Mediterranean cruise anytime from April to November. Spring brings gorgeous blooms and mild weather, autumn brings fresh produce and harvest festivals, while summer is peak season and for good reason. From June to August, the Mediterranean shines with endless sun and long days to soak up the stunning beaches.

What is the best part of a cruise ship to stay on?

It all depends on how you like to travel. If you’re prone to seasickness, go for a cabin on the lowest level in the center of the ship for the least swaying. If you want the best view, go for a room with a window on the higher levels of the ship. The higher decks are also closer to the pools, whereas if you're looking to be closer to entertainment areas, go for a room in the middle of the ship.

Where can I travel in the Mediterranean?

Dreaming of a Mediterranean vacation? You’ll be spoiled for choice when picking a destination. From the sunny shores of Italy, Spain and Turkey, to Greece and Croatia's gorgeous islands, and the lesser-known gems like Montenegro, Albania and Slovenia, there are endless places to travel in the Mediterranean. Take your pick!

Where are the best beaches in the Mediterranean?

You’ll discover some of the world’s most spectacular beaches in the Mediterranean, with soft white sands, brilliant turquoise water, lush greenery and soaring cliffs. For the most showstopping beaches of them all, head to the likes of Italy, Greece, Turkey, Spain, Croatia and Montenegro. You’re sure to find your new favorite beach here.

Destinations that are making a splash

Frequently asked questions

More than a dozen countries in the Mediterranean regularly welcome cruise ships. The most popular countries include Italy, Greece, Spain, France and Turkey. Cruises are generally divided into Western and Eastern Mediterranean itineraries. A typical Western Mediterranean cruise steers you between Barcelona and Rome, and covers ports in France, Spain and Italy. Some of the top stopovers on this route are Seville, Palma de Mallorca or La Spezia. If you want to experience Venice in Italy, an Eastern Mediterranean cruise is a top choice. These itineraries can encompass the Greek Islands, Croatia, Montenegro and even Turkey, with top ports including Athens, Malta and Santorini. 

Some of the must-see destinations on a Mediterranean cruise are: 

Rome, Italy 

Marvel at the grandeur of the Colosseum, wander through the Roman Forum, toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain and explore the fascinating stories of the Vatican City. 

Barcelona, Spain  From Gaudi’s whimsical Sagrada Familia to the busy La Rambla boulevard, this eclectic Spanish city is a favourite amongst cruisers for its tempting seafood and unique architecture. 

Athens/Piraeus, Greece 

A spirited city ideal for history buffs and foodies, home to the legendary Acropolis and the Plaka – known as the ‘Neighbourhood of the Gods’. 

Monaco, France 

Famed for its fast cars and super yachts, Monaco is also brimming with innovative restaurants, day clubs and high-end shopping hotspots. 

Dubrovnik, Croatia 

Known as The Pearl of the Adriatic, Dubrovnik’s well-preserved medieval walls and labyrinthine marble streets earned it a starring role in Game of Thrones. 

Venice, Italy  

A city built on water, Venice captivates visitors with winding canals, historic palazzos, and classic gondolas gliding along the waterways. 

Santorini, Greek Islands 

With its white-washed buildings, blue-domed roofs, rugged cliffs and awe-inspiring sunsets, Santorini is truly enchanting. 

It’s always a good time to cruise the Med. Ships are sailing here all year round with regular departures from many ports. The peak season is from late spring to early autumn, which is around May to October. Summer is the busiest time, particularly the months of July and August. You will find that ports are very busy and prices may be higher (along with the temperatures), so it’s a good idea to avoid this time if you can.

Yes. Many of the cruise ships sailing in this region are large vessels packed with fun features, like waterslides, sports courts, games rooms, kids’ clubs and even theme park-style attractions like go kart tracks. These cruises also offer activities tailored for kids, like treasure hunts, cooking classes and more. On shore, kids will love the Med as much as the adults. There are gorgeous beaches for swimming, cycling trails, pretty coastal walks and lots of delicious food.

Cruises in this region offer a mix of international cuisines as well as dishes from the Mediterranean, rich in seafood, olives and fresh vegetables. As ships will be restocking at different ports, they may bring local specialities onboard for you to try. You can also try local wines or spirits from the different Mediterranean nations, like sangria from Spain and ouzo from Greece.

Absolutely. Every cruise will offer a wide selection of set excursions, you're free to explore on your own or book separate tours if you prefer.  

Here are some of the top shore excursions we think you can’t miss in the Med: 

See the Sagrada Familia, Barcelona, Spain 

This huge and unfinished Roman Catholic minor basilica is one of the most famous landmarks in Barcelona. 

Visit Vatican City, Italy  Take a fascinating tour of the Vatican City, the smallest independent city-state in the world, home to Saint Peter’s Cathedral and the Sistine Chapel. 

Take a gondola ride in Venice, Italy  A gondola ride will give you a different perspective of this unique, ‘floating’ city. 

Watch flamenco in Seville, Spain 

Seville is known as the birthplace of flamenco dancing and the shows here are authentic, vibrant and exciting. 

Spend a day on Rhodes, Greece 

The largest of the Dodecanese islands, Rhodes is a sun-kissed paradise with an ancient mediaeval city and a modern district brimming with beaches, shopping and nightlife. 

Go shopping in St. Tropez, France 

Glamorous St. Tropez is the perfect spot for some retail therapy. Discover a mix of bohemian boutiques, high-end designer stores, local markets and art galleries. 

Walk the Walls of Dubrovnik, Croatia  Navigate around the fortresses, towers, and bastions on the UNESCO World Heritage-listed ancient city walls of Dubrovnik. 

There’s lots of flexibility with a Mediterranean cruise because there are so many ports and so many cruise ships sailing between them. You can jump on a cruise for just a couple of days or explore the whole region on a longer itinerary that lasts up to four weeks. As a good rule of thumb, you want to allow around seven days for a Western Mediterranean cruise and around eight to 10 days for an Eastern Mediterranean cruise.

Absolutely! Many cruises offer themed nights, live music, dance performances and informative lectures related to the region and the ports you’ll be visiting. Some of the smaller ships may even bring local performers on board so you can experience an authentic live performance.

There are 27 European countries in the Schengen Area, which includes Mediterranean cruise destinations like Italy, Spain, France, Greece and Croatia. Travellers from many nations are allowed to travel freely within the Schengen area for up to 90 days within a 180-day period without a visa. If you’re travelling to non-Schengen countries like Turkey, Montenegro or Cyprus, you may need to apply for a visa. You should always check with your travel expert and check with your relevant government authority.

Yes, several cruise lines offer adults’ only voyages so you can soak up the beauty of the Mediterranean in peace. Viking Cruises and Virgin Voyages do not allow children onboard any of their ships. P&O Cruises UK (a different line to P&O Cruises in Australia) has two adults’ only ships that sail in the Med – Aurora and Arcadia. Some lines, such as Emerald Cruises and Celestyal Cruises, do not recommend cruising with children under the age of 12.

Light clothing for warm days, a jacket for cooler evenings, comfortable walking shoes and swimwear are essential. Europeans are a stylish bunch, so if you want to dine at upmarket restaurants on shore or visit some of the chic bars of the Rivieras, you’ll need to bring some dressier clothes.

Why Cruise the Mediterranean

World-Class Dining

Captivating cuisine.

With mouthwatering entrees and confections, the Mediterranean invites you to embark on a gourmet tour through iconic cities. Reawaken your taste buds with Italian classics like pastas, pizzas and gelato. Or fill your plate with gyros, keftethes and baklava on a Greek cruise. From breakfast to dinner and every delectable dessert in between, the best is before you with Princess.

Bold Reds and Crisp Whites

The countryside of Italy and Greece are home to some of the most flavorful wines around the globe. With sun and warm temperatures year-round, vineyards are flourishing with grapes by the harvest season. Sip on Italy’s red wines, or sample Greece’s white blends. From sweet Lambruscos to earthy Bordeauxs, fill up your glass on a Mediterranean cruise with Princess.

Ancient Ruins

Where history comes to life.

From towers and temples to cities and shorelines, the Mediterranean is sprinkled with remains of civilizations past. Step back in time on a tour through ancient ruins on a Mediterranean cruise with Princess. Imagine life as a gladiator at the Colosseum, explore Greek mythology at the Parthenon and discover the archeological excavations of Pompeii — a lost city and UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Art Galleries & Museums

Artistic ingenuity abounds.

From the treasures on land to the jewels within museums, the Mediterranean is a true work of art. On an Italian cruise, see portraits from the Renaissance period at the Uffizi Museum in Florence, and admire Michelangelo’s masterpieces at the Vatican Museum in Rome. Or walk in the footsteps of celebrated artists that called these regions home — like Picasso and Dali — and allow their work to spark your creativity.

Sun-Kissed Beaches

A vision of natural beauty.

Visions of sparkling coasts and crystalline waters welcome you to the Mediterranean. Dip your toes on the black-sand coast of Santorini on a Greek cruise. Head to Salerno to spend the day in Positano relaxing on the white beaches and admiring the pastel houses that decorate the cliffs around you. Or travel to Mykonos with your loved ones and daydream on the city’s long stretch of golden sand and stroll in the sunshine.

Mediterranean Excursions

Our award-winning Mediterranean cruise shore excursions bring you to iconic beaches, landmarks and ancient artifacts. See the yacht-lined shores of Kotor while riding on a tuk tuk, an electric rickshaw. Savor the flavors of “Koum Kouat” liqueur, created from Corfu’s exclusive citrus plant.
