Mediterranean Cruises

Explore the cradle of civilisation - The Mediterranean, home to millennia of history, glamourous ports, and breathtaking scenery.

With itineraries encompassing Italy Croatia, Greece and more, you'll get a real sense of what life in the Mediterranean is really like. Wake up to views of the beautiful blue waters of the Med as you sail towards a new destination. We'll visit fascinating archaeological sites (including the ruins of Rome and Athens) to uncover the secrets of societies that lived thousands of years ago. Wander the cobbled streets of historic cities like Dubrovnik and Valletta or people-watch from a pavement café in a pretty seaside town. We'll show you the highlights of each destination - and a few hidden gems you'll want to tell your friends about.

Will you choose a sailing experience from the nautical golden age with an ocean voyage on our atmospheric tall ships or board the memorable Celestyal Journey with all the modern amenities you'd expect on a floating resort? Perhaps you want something a little more exclusive? Our yacht cruises have an exclusive guest list of up to 40 and a guest-to-crew ratio of 4:1, guaranteeing first-class personal service (plus plenty of swim stops to soak up the warm waters of the Mediterranean!)

Unbeatable value, which always includes

  • Direct flights from 11 UK airports with no regional supplements & transfers
  • Insightful excursions & visits with local guides
  • Expert Riviera Tour Manager looking after you throughout
  • Accommodation on board superb ships & handpicked hotels
