Mediterranean Cruises from Southampton

A gateway to Europe’s glittering coast

Follow the sun south on one of our Mediterranean cruises from Southampton to the sun-drenched Balearics, the lavender-fragranced hills of Provence, and Italy’s glorious coastline. Explore cosmopolitan seafront cities along the coast of Spain. Take in the vibrant art scene of Malaga, and stop for tapas in a sunlit square. Sample colorful paella in Valencia, and admire the dazzling modernist architecture of Barcelona, the extraordinary Sagrada Familia basilica at its heart.

Cruises from Southampton to the Mediterranean visit Italy, too, with time to explore Rome’s famous Colosseum and admire Michelangelo’s exquisite David in Florence. France is yet another highlight, whether you spend your time following the trail of the Impressionists to Aix-en-Provence, or sitting on the bustling waterfront in Marseille with a bowl of rich bouillabaisse and a glass of chilled rosé.

Itineraries

Featured ports of call.

Catalunya’s dynamic capital bursts with personality. Explore the maze of the old Gothic Quarter, or head to the Eixample neighborhood to admire the vibrant, organic structures designed by legendary architect Antoni Gaudí. There’s art for every taste, from the Picasso Museum to the striking Joan Miró Foundation on Montjuic Hill. Fashionable Barceloneta, the former fishing quarter, is the best place to head on a sunny day for tapas on the waterfront.

Italy’s stylish capital is peppered with extraordinary relics and archaeological sites, chic shopping streets, and cobbled squares adorned with lavish baroque fountains. Visit the mighty Colosseum, the setting of ancient gladiatorial battles, and the beautiful Sistine Chapel. Gaze at the Pantheon’s vast dome, people-watch on the Spanish Steps, and toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain. No visit to the Eternal City is complete without gelato and flavor-packed pasta alla carbonara.

Florence/Pisa

Explore the beauty of Tuscany from La Spezia, the gateway to historic Pisa and elegant Florence. Marvel at the architecture in Pisa’s Square of Miracles and the iconic Leaning Tower. Visit Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance movement, to admire the magnificent cathedral and the treasures of the Accademia Gallery. Or head along the coast to the Cinque Terre, five tiny fishing villages of gelato-colored houses that cling to plunging cliffs.

Mediterranean Cruises from Southampton

Fascinating jewels of the great sea, 2023, 2024 & 2025 cruises from southampton.

It’s not difficult to come up with a list of reasons to join one of our Mediterranean cruises from Southampton. For many, it is a top destination, with many treasures to be discovered. Enclosed by three continents you will visit glamorous resorts, historic cities and idyllic islands whilst enjoying the warm and balmy climate.

UNESCO Sites

Pay tribute to the world’s oldest civilisations and visit ancient monuments — such as the Colosseum in Rome, the Diocletian’s Palace in Split, the Parthenon in Athens, or the Castel Nuovo in Naples — all testament to the resilience of mankind and our capacity to endure. Full of archaeological wonders, much of the Mediterranean is like a great outdoor museum, where you can soak up some of that rich history along with the sunshine. Home to the most iconic UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Europe, you will not be short of wonders to behold.

Culture & History

When you have had your fill of cathedrals and castles, immerse yourself in the intriguing blend of cultures that is the hallmark of Mediterranean life. Visit tree-lined Las Ramblas in Barcelona, enjoy the quaint and otherworldly charm of Trogir as you wander through the marbled town, admire picture-perfect Mykonos with its whitewashed houses, be captivated by an orchestral performance at the Grand Theatre in Ephesus, or float down the canals of Venice in a gondola. For something more urban, there is the vibrant nightlife of bars and nightclubs in party capitals like Rhodes and Ibiza, or perhaps explore the contemporary art scene at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, or indulge yourself (and a loved one) on a shopping trip in Milan.

Famed for white beaches, emerald pine woods, and sapphire waters, the Adriatic coast is also not to be missed. Connect with nature at Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia with its amazing turquoise lakes on terraces and pristine waterfalls, or Gargano National Park in Italy with its extraordinary sea beds and beautiful caves. Whether it is a tranquil haven you seek, or the revelry of open-air festivals, you will find yourself basking in the warmth of both sunny weather and Mediterranean hospitality.

Food, Glorious Food!

All the sightseeing is bound to work up an appetite, and there’s no better place to be than this foodies’ paradise. Whether it is pizza in Pisa, tapas in Tenerife, linguine in liguria, or fresh seafood in Santorini, there is a whole range of gastronomic delights to enjoy. And let’s not forget the wine! Embark on a wine-tasting journey at a Lisbon market or Vineyard in Bordeaux. Coffee is also a serious matter in that part of the world, so when it’s time to rest your feet, there will be no shortage of vibrant cafes to choose from. The Mediterranean is the one place you really want to push the boat out, because…life is full of pasta-bilities!
