About This Trip

The glittering Mediterranean defines the southern edge of Europe in dramatic fashion. It is a place of extreme contrasts, of dramatic landscapes, chilled hideaways and incredible cities, and on this tour, we don't want you to see a snapshot of it; we want you to experience it all.  From the romantic canals of Venice to the sun-drenched shores of Provence, this extraordinary voyage immerses you in the essence of Mediterranean life. Feel the warmth of Croatian hospitality in Dubrovnik, savour the flavours of authentic Greek cuisine in Corfu, and lose yourself in the winding streets of Malta's historic capital. This isn't just a holiday; it's an opportunity to connect with diverse communities, uncover ancient traditions, and create lasting memories across the Mediterranean's most enchanting spaces.

 

Your adventure takes you to some of Europe's most iconic cities and hidden gems. Imagine standing atop the ancient walls of Dubrovnik, gazing out over terracotta roofs to the sparkling Adriatic. In Naples, wander through the remarkably preserved ruins of Pompeii, feeling the weight of history beneath your feet. Barcelona beckons with Gaudí's whimsical architecture and intense, vibrant culture, while Marseille offers a gateway to the lavender-scented hills of Provence. You will get the chance to explore the medieval alleys of Kotor, tucked away in Montenegro's stunning bay, or the baroque splendour of Valletta, Malta's fortress capital. Each stop offers something completely different to the last. One continent, one sea, a multitude of possibilities.  

 

Throughout your journey, you'll be cradled in comfort aboard two magnificent cruise ships, each offering a distinct and different style, from the fantastic MSC Armonia to the cutting edge, state of the art MSC World Europa. During your time at sea, you will be surrounded by incredible amenities, including a stunning promenade with an LED sky dome, innovative dining experiences, and thrilling entertainment options. Both ships provide havens of relaxation with world-class spas, panoramic pool decks, and a variety of gourmet restaurants. Whether you're watching the sunset, cocktail in hand, or enjoying a Broadway-style show in the theatre, every moment onboard is designed to enhance your Mediterranean adventure. These floating resorts aren't just a means of travel; they're an integral part of your unforgettable journey through the heart of the Mediterranean.

highlights

On a trip of this scale, condensing highlights into a couple of paragraphs is almost impossible, such is the wealth of wonder you will see, hear and feel every day.  Here are a few, but we promise, these are just the tip of the iceberg. 

 

We have to mention Venice, where your journey begins. This ultra-romantic city, where gondolas glide through picturesque canals, is one of the most unique cities in the world and offers a wealth of museums and galleries to complement its splendour. Dubrovnik is guarded by thick, ancient walls, offering breathtaking views of the red-roofed city and azure sea beyond. Naples provides a gateway to the haunting ruins of Pompeii, frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Barcelona will dazzle you with Gaudí's surreal masterpieces, including the still-unfinished Sagrada Família. And these are honestly just a few of the incredible highlights on offer. Each port of call, from the sun-drenched beaches of Corfu to the charming coastal towns of the French Riviera, offers unique experiences and unforgettable sights that will stay with you long after your journey ends.

 

And then there are your floating resorts, your passport to discovering these exceptional locations. On board your cruise ships, you'll discover a world of luxury and entertainment that rivals the excitement of your onshore adventures. Imagine starting your day with an invigorating workout in a state-of-the-art fitness centre, followed by a rejuvenating treatment in a Balinese-inspired spa. As the sun reaches its peak, cool off in one of the many pools or seek thrills on the longest dry slide at sea. Culinary delights await at every turn, from gourmet restaurants serving cuisine from around the world to casual eateries perfect for a quick bite between activities. As evening falls, the ships come alive with entertainment options to suit every taste, with Broadway-style shows, high-rolling casinos, and sumptuous lounges.
