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

Mediterranean Cruises promise an enriching tapestry of experiences. Whether you’re a history buff, a foodie, or someone seeking idyllic landscapes, a Med Cruise is sure to etch memories that last a lifetime.

The allure of the Mediterranean lies not just in its azure waters and golden sands but in the tapestry of cultures, histories, and landscapes that have evolved over millennia. To embark on a Mediterranean cruise is to journey through time, from the ancient ruins of Greece and Rome to the bustling markets of Marrakech and the artistic wonders of Barcelona. Rome, with its Colosseum and Vatican City, whispers tales of emperors and gladiators, while Athens stands as a beacon of ancient philosophy and wisdom. The narrow streets of Santorini, painted in hues of blue and white, offer breathtaking views of sunsets, while the French Riviera dazzles with its glamour and luxury.

One of the most captivating experiences on a Mediterranean cruise is the culinary journey. The Mediterranean diet, celebrated for its health benefits and rich flavours, comes alive in its native region. Imagine savouring authentic Italian pasta as you gaze at the Amalfi Coast or tasting tapas in a local bar in Seville. Every meal is an exploration, a chance to dive deep into the region’s gastronomic heritage.

Some of the most popular cruise destinations in Mediterranean are:

Amalfi Coast

The Amalfi Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a breathtaking stretch of coastline in southern Italy, renowned for its dramatic cliffs, colourful hillside villages, and picturesque views of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Mykonos is a captivating Greek island in the Aegean Sea, famous for its vibrant nightlife, whitewashed buildings, and scenic windmills. It attracts people from around the world with its stunning beaches, lively atmosphere, and charming Cycladic architecture. 

Kotor is a captivating coastal town in Montenegro, nestled between imposing mountains and the picturesque Bay of Kotor. Its well-preserved medieval architecture, charming cobblestone streets, and historic city walls make it a UNESCO World Heritage site and a must-visit destination in the Balkans.

When is the best time to visit the Mediterranean?

The best time to take a cruise holiday to the Mediterranean depends on the region you want to explore and the specific experiences you’re seeking.

Generally, the most popular time to visit is during the summer months, from June to August, when you can expect warm and sunny weather ideal for beach vacations and outdoor activities.

If you’re particularly interested in cultural events, local festivals, and a less crowded experience, you might also look into visiting in the winter months, though some coastal areas may be less appealing due to cooler temperatures and fewer outdoor activities.

It’s also essential to consider factors like local holidays, festivals and peak tourist seasons. It’s always a good idea to consult with one of our cruise agents who will give you the best advice!

By downloading this image you agree to the Princess asset use terms and conditions

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. (May 9, 2024) – Princess Cruises is going big in Europe for 2026. The “Love Boat” line today announced that its 2026 European cruise and cruisetour season will be its biggest ever, with five Princess cruise ships sailing the region, including the sensational new Sun Princess. Set to sail on a record-breaking 222 cruises, guests will have unparalleled opportunities to explore the beauty and diversity of Europe.

Running March through November 2026, the European season features 59 unique itineraries, visiting 101 destinations across 29 countries, ranging from five to 42 nights. Highlights of the upcoming season include an opportunity to experience the 2026 total solar eclipse; sail on the newest Princess ship – Sun Princess; the return of roundtrip cruises from Copenhagen and new itineraries from Rome. The robust season goes on sale May 23, 2024.

“There’s incredible demand for European vacations and we don’t see that slowing down anytime soon,” said Terry Thornton, chief commercial officer for Princess Cruises. “Guests should book early as our best pricing will be when these cruises first go on sale. Our 2026 season delivers the best of Europe with incredible voyages visiting a mix of marquee ports, as well as smaller, off-the-beaten-path spots offering guests their very own personalized journey.”

2026 Europe Highlights

Sun Princess , the next-level Love Boat from Princess, will sail 7-, 14- and 21-night Mediterranean voyages departing from Civitavecchia (Rome), Piraeus (Athens), and Barcelona.

Cunard added a 4th luxury cruise ship to its famous fleet — see what it'll be like on the new Queen Anne

• Cunard  welcomed its fourth ship and newest in 14 years, the 2,996-guest Queen Anne.
• The 114,000-ton vessel has amenities like an Indian restaurant and pool under a retractable glass roof.
• Queen Anne's 2024 itineraries, primarily in Europe, start at $300 per person for a two-night cruise.

Cunard has operated 249 ships throughout its 184 years in operation, including the famous Queen Mary and Queen Mary 2. But it's been 14 years since the cruise line has launched a new vessel — until now.

Luxury cruisers , meet Queen Anne. It's Cunard's latest 2,996-guest ship, replete with 4,300 art pieces, archery, and the company's signature high-end flair. Its arrival was so highly anticipated that every cabin on its May 3 maiden voyage was fully reserved in minutes, the BBC reported.

The Carnival Corp. brand may be storied, but that doesn’t mean it’s past its prime.

Katie McAlister, president of Cunard, recently told the BBC that its bookings have grown 25% since the beginning of 2024 and are now the best they've been in a decade.

So it should come as no surprise that several of Queen Anne's 2024 itineraries are almost sold out.

Cunard isn’t in the business of building bigger.

Luxury cruise lines are beloved for their small-ship experience. Cunard is no different.

The new 114,000-ton cruise liner is the company's second-largest, although it can carry more guests than any of its other ships.

However, at a 2,996-guest and 1,225-crew capacity, Queen Anne is still tiny compared to the mass-market cruise industry's newest ships , the largest of which can carry 10,000 people.

Queen Anne's cabins are divided into four categories, listed from most to least luxurious: Queens Grill, Princess Grill, Britannia Club, and Britannia.

Despite being the cheapest option, the Britannia accommodations have high-end amenities like sparkling wine, Penhaligon toiletries, and tea and coffee machines.

That's nothing compared to the most luxurious Queens Grill suites, where guests get amenities like pillow menus, stocked mini-bars, a butler, fruit, and pre-dinner canapes.

Forget the sparkling wine — Queens Grill travelers get a bottle of Champagne.

Cabin categories are especially important for Cunard, not for reasons you might expect.

Besides how luxurious your hotel room at sea is, your cabin influences where you have breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Guests in the Princess Grill suites dine at the Princess Grill restaurant, while Britannia Club guests stick to the Britannia Club restaurant, and so on.

Guests in the higher-end Princess and Queens cabins also get a pretty sweet bonus: an exclusive lounge with infinity hot tubs.

Regardless of your cabin, the 14-deck ship has plenty of areas for all guests to relax under the sun.

For example, the Pavilion. It's one of Queen Anne's go-to places for an afternoon swim, nighttime movie viewing, silent disco, and not-so-silent live music, all under a retractable glass roof.

The ship's pool club also has plenty of lounge seats for a more traditional pool deck experience. For something indoors, head to the drawing and game rooms instead.

Like every new cruise ship, Queen Anne has a pickleball court.

But unlike every new cruise ship, it also has archery — coaches, bows, and arrows included.

Travelers looking for a less intense afternoon can instead try their hand at the putting green, shuffleboard, or quoits.

Not confident in your athletic abilities? Don't worry — there's a bar nearby, too.

If you lose your pickleball match, you can retail therapy your pain away at Queen Anne’s high-end stores.

Travelers have been splurging big on their cruise vacations . On Queen Anne (and with help from one of the ship's personal shoppers), this could include a Bremont watch or Chanel makeup.

Or, do as cruisers do: Eat and drink the pain away.

The ship has 15 eateries. Unfortunately, you'll have to pay extra for the Mediterranean, Indian, Japanese, steakhouse grill, alfresco, and British restaurants.

Thankfully, the food hall-style buffet, room service, and cabin-assigned dining rooms are included in the fare.

Feeling peckish in the afternoon? Afternoon tea is held in the Queens Room, the same venue that hosts events like ballroom dancing and Cunard's signature black-tie galas.

Of course, a cruise wouldn’t be complete without a casino, spa, and nighttime shows.

Queen Anne is showing two new productions, including an adaptation of the classic British film "Brief Encounter."

For more casual entertainment, the ship also has a "show bar" helmed by a variety of musicians and entertainers.

For a more relaxing afternoon, try the spa's cryotherapy, "experience showers," and salt saunas.

Afterwards, to keep the wellness trend going, grab a healthy bite at the veggie and "sustainably sourced protein"-forward Wellness Cafe. Its kombucha bellinis are technically good for you, right?

Cunard is beloved for its regular transatlantic cruises on its Queen Mary 2 ocean liner.

In 2025, Queen Anne will embark on its first three-month around-the-world cruise. However, for the most part, it's not scheduled for repeat long-haul journeys .

Instead, in 2024, the ship will be homeported in Southampton, UK and travel on two- to 19-night itineraries across Europe.

The cheapest way to experience the new ship is a two-night summer cruise from Southampton to Hamburg, Germany, which currently starts at $300 per person.

But if money is no problem, the 18-night roundtrip Hamburg cruise during Christmas and the New Year might pique your interest — and your wallet. The itinerary's luxurious Queens Grill suites start at $19,350 per person.
