Mediterranean Cruises
You may choose to book your cruise to the Mediterranean from Southampton or Dover or another UK port. These cruises will typically stop at ports in France, Northern Spain and Portugal before entering the Mediterranean. Cruises to the Western Mediterranean from Dover and Southampton may call at ports such as Gibraltar, Barcelona, Marseilles and Palma before turning around and heading home within a typical 12 night - 15-night duration. If you're looking to cruise to the Eastern Mediterranean and Adriatic from the UK then you should expect a longer duration of 18 nights or more. Cruises to the Eastern Mediterranean are often easier accessed from ports such as Venice, Athens or Malta but there are cruises to the Greek Islands from Southampton or Dover or indeed cruises to Italy and Croatia.
