Time to shake up the routine? Set sail on a short break to Bruges (from Zeebrugge), Amsterdam (from IJmuiden) or St Peter Port on the island of Guernsey. With a full day to explore, you can feast your eyes, strolling the coastlines or cobbles before experiencing the best of life at sea, on board your ship.

Travel into a world of vivid landscapes, punctuated by soaring peaks and cascading waterfalls. Through your P&O Cruises ship you can truly immerse yourself in it all. Imagine gliding through still waters – sheer rock faces just metres from your balcony, or watching as spellbinding cities emerge on the horizon.

Famed for its art, architecture, cuisine, beaches and more – the Med offers a holiday full of rich experiences. One day you might wander between the superyachts and chic bars of the Riviera. The next, you could stroll through time in an ancient city; taking your clues from fascinating ruins.

What other holiday lets you stargaze in Tenerife, canyon through Gran Canaria and laze on Lanzarote’s black sand beaches? It’s time to travel beyond the expected. And with so many full days ashore, you’ll have time to dive deep into these extraordinary islands.

Want to fly straight to the sunshine? The Med is waiting to charm you. From its incredible architecture to its art, postcard-worthy coastlines and irresistible beaches, it’s a region that offers endless reasons to explore. Add to this the many facets of your ship and you really can holiday like never before.

There’s so much more to this region than sunshine and siestas. Leap on a tram to explore Lisbon. Try the freshest seafood along the Spanish coast. Soak up the atmosphere in Seville and bask in the artistry of Barcelona. From traditional Flamenco performances to tapas and historic streets, let the mood take you.
