Southampton, UK

The vibrant port city of Southampton has always had a rich history in seafaring and is still a popular embarkation port for cruises today.

Cartagena, Spain

An ancient city with a name to match - it was founded more than 2,200 years ago by Carthaginian leader Hasdrubal - Cartagena is now one of Spains busiest commercial centres. 

La Goulette (for Tunis) , Tunisia

La&nbsp;Goulette is the port town of Tunis, Tunisia’s capital. It is located on a large sandbar between Lake Tūnis and the Gulf of Tunis, hence its Arabic name, alq al-Wādī, meaning “river’s throat”. La Goulette connects to Tunis via seven mile-long canal and is the chief commercial port in the country. &nbsp;La Goulette was hugely popular as a summer retreat for Europeans during &nbsp;the 19th century. In fact, the sector known as La Petite Sicile (Little Sicily) was home to many Italian, Maltese and Jewish families. &nbsp;The street markets are famed for their heady mix of spices and vividly-coloured fruit and vegetables.&nbsp;

Palermo, Italy

Palermo perches at the foot of Monte Pellegrino at the heart of a large natural harbour.  Founded in the 5th century, it has alternately enjoyed and endured one of the most colourful histories of any Mediterranean city. Greeks, Romans, Carthaginians, Arabs, Goths, Vandals have all come and gone, leaving their mark on the population as well as the architecture.

Sarande, Albania

The attractive small town of Sarandë is the gateway to southern Albania. Lying on a beautiful horseshoe bay, between the mountains and the Ionian Sea, it's just opposite the island of Corfu.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

Sailing into the beautiful 12th century Croatian walled city of Dubrovnik is one of the great cruising experiences.

Split, Croatia

Nestling on the sparkling Dalmatian coast, the medieval Croatian port of Split, faces the myriad magical islands of the Kornati archipelago which include Brac, Hvar and Vis.

Zadar, Croatia

What sets Zadar apart is its gentle mix of old and new. The historic old town is a mixture of Roman ruins alongside cosmopolitan cafes, and medieval churches nestling against modern museums of culture.

Korcula, Croatia

Renowned for its thick forest and stunning old town (AKA ‘Little Dubrovnik’), Korcula may be less famous than other Croatian islands, but is certainly no less beautiful.

Valletta, Malta

The fortifications at Malta's Grand Harbour speak volumes about her past, indeed her reputation for valour during the Second World war earned her the George Cross.

Cadiz (tours to Seville) , Spain

You cruise right into the heart of historic Cadiz as immediately across the busy Avenida del Puerto from the Spanish port is the main square and shopping area.
