Eastern Mediterranean cruises
An Eastern Mediterranean cruise holiday takes you to a sightseer’s paradise, combining beaches, history and scenic splendours to great effect. Even better, the region is wonderfully accessible from the UK with all cruises to the Mediterranean sailing from and returning to Southampton. Along the coast of Italy, Greece, Turkey and Egypt, the extraordinary intrigue of this area continues to draw travellers from far and wide.
Cruising to this end of the Mediterranean also leads to where Europe meets Asia: right in the middle of the mosques and minarets of Turkeys bustling capital, Istanbul. Colourful not only in terms of its people, crafts and buildings, the city pulsates to the sounds of children, hawkers and carpet sellers. A place in which to immerse yourself in the different culture, foods and architecture, for many it’s one of the major highlights of an Eastern Mediterranean cruise.
