Five reasons to book a Mediterranean fly-cruise

Looking for a holiday that combines culture and exploration with comfort and relaxation? The sky’s the limit on a 7 night or 14 night Mediterranean fly-cruise. Here are five fantastic reasons to pack your bags and soar straight to the sunshine.

1. Getting there is quick and easy

Your time is precious, and we know you want to make the most of it. By flying straight from the UK to Malta, you’ll have more time to explore the exciting ports on your itinerary. And getting there couldn’t be simpler: and all flights and transfers are arranged for you. We’ll even show you to your ship, where your comfortable cabin will be waiting. Luggage is a breeze, too. On selected charter flights you can simply drop it off at the airport and we’ll take care of the rest – you’ll next see your bags in your cabin. From here, you’ve got all the time in the world to get to know your ship and explore on shore.

2. Enjoy a number of the most beautiful destinations in the Med…

Fancy tucking into some mezze at a waterfront café in Santorini? Or embarking on a river rafting adventure in Split? How about tossing a coin into the Trevi Fountain in Rome? Or sunbathing on Sardinia’s best beaches? There are countless cultural experiences to be had on a fly-cruise holiday to the Med. What’s more, a Med flycruise maximises the number of ports you can visit in any given holiday by minimising days spent at sea. Waking up to a new view every day of your holiday – what could be better?

3. …and even more magic awaits on board

Why not spend some time relaxing and soaking up the Mediterranean sunshine on the sun deck? Or keep cool with a dip in one of the pools? If you prefer to venture out, a day of immersing yourself in the glories of the Med awaits. And the fun doesn’t stop when you’re back on board your ship. Sip a sundowner on deck as you reflect on the day’s adventures; sit down to an unforgettable dining experience; and cap it all off with a night of topnotch entertainment. And when it’s time for bed, your accommodation beckons. Better rest up – tomorrow promises a brand-new adventure.

4. So much is included

Your flights and transfers are included in the price of your holiday, and being able to fly from a range of regional airports makes travel a breeze. And for peace of mind, your flights are ATOL protected. The benefits extend way beyond your flights. As with every P&O Cruises holiday, your accommodation, dining in the main restaurants, entertainment, children’s clubs and much more is included in the price. And for any onboard purchases, you can pay in GBP – no need to worry about exchanging currency.
