What's great about Eastern Mediterranean cruises?
The cities in this region are the patriarchs of Europe, and our Eastern Mediterranean cruises sail into loads of them. Whether you want to stand on top of the Acropolis in Athens or explore the ancient gateways of Dubrovnik's old town, your perfect itinerary is ready and waiting. Cities like Malta’s Valletta are staples on a European cruise. Then, there are lesser-known gems like Kotor, in Montenegro, which mixes old-school architecture with top-rate views and smashing bars.
Greece is another star around here. The scenic islands of Mykonos and Santorini serve up top-tier sea views paired with pretty whitewashed towns. And if a combination of time-stamped sites and sapphire-blue seas is on your holiday wishlist, make a beeline for Corfu Town, where you’ll find a gigantic fortress and postcard-worthy beaches.
If you fancy extending your holiday, tag a few extra days onto your trip by booking a Cruise & Stay holiday. You could be starting your getaway in the most relaxing way possible with a few days lounging on Corfu’s Blue Flag beaches, or ending your trip in Dubrovnik’s old town, where Baroque buildings and old churches are crammed inside the ancient city walls.

It's all about ancient history on a cruise of the Eastern Mediterranean, from the windmills of Mykonos to the Acropolis of Athens. You’ve also got big guns of the Adriatic like Dubrovnik’s A-lister old town, or lesser-strolled spots like Kotor in Montenegro. To get there, you’ll sail through an emerald, fjord-like bay.
