The Mediterranean is famed for its agreeable climate, compelling coastlines and delicious cuisines; not to mention its world-renowned art and architecture. A Mediterranean cruise holiday offers something special to discover at every port. 

Reasons to visit the Mediterranean with P&O Cruises

Amazing architecture

You’re spoiled for choice on a cruise across the Mediterranean. With ornate archways of palaces and cathedrals, red roofs and whitewashed walls of seaside villas, the architecture of the region delights at every turn.

Mediterranean delights

Dining in the Med is a daily dream for your taste buds. Each city boasts its own specialities and flavours so why not explore a local food market, join a cookery class or take a food tour to get a taste for the local cuisine?

Stunning seashores

Long sandy stretches, turquoise waters and crystal-clear pools – the beaches of the Med, blessed with warmer temperatures and sunny skies, are eternally appealing. Whatever you’re mood, you’ll find beautiful beaches are typically just a stone’s throw away from each port.
