Compare hundreds of Mediterranean cruises

Ahoy there! We’ve got an idea for ya. How about a week of ocean splash in Bodrum, sangria-fuelled partying in Barcelona, and scoffing down seafood towers in Sicily… all without needing to fly, check into a hotel or unpack? We know, it sounds too good to be true, but trust us, it’s an absolutely real thing aboard a cruise.

See, the moment you embark, all (serious) responsibility is left behind. The captain and his crew are in charge of things, and all you have to focus on is fun. Fun in the name of non-stop food, entertainment and port stops packed with adventure.

How’s this for a sample itinerary: 11am cocktails by the pool, 3pm dolphin-watching excursion, and 6pm dinner and a West End-style show? Sorry, we can’t hear you with all the screaming. We’ll take that as a yes.

And because it’s all so easy to coordinate with everyone on one ship, it’s a ‘more the merrier’ situation, always, when it comes to cruising. Invite your neighbours, bring the kids or even make it a generational family outing. Few logistics mean that no matter the party size, everyone’s going to have fun. Plus, some vessels are so big you can conveniently ‘lose’ the in-laws (wink wink).

The Med is the perfect place for a long hot summer and one of the best regions in the world to cruise. Even winters are warm if you’re looking to save a bit of money. Whatever floats your boat, we’ve got just the ticket to Greece, Italy, Spain or Croatia. Here are the best Mediterranean deals on the market for you to live your absolute best lives.
