Before you dive into early-access offers, here’s a taste of some of the most enchanting ports of call waiting for you across the Mediterranean, each one offering its own story to tell.
1. Santorini, Greece
Few places can rival the drama of Santorini. Whitewashed houses tumble down volcanic cliffs, cobalt domes gleam in the sun, and the Aegean shimmers below like a mirror. With P&O Cruises, you’ll arrive in style, tendering ashore to explore a destination that feels suspended in time. Stroll through the narrow lanes of Oia, taste crisp Assyrtiko wine at a clifftop vineyard, or simply watch the sunset ignite the horizon in shades of pink and gold. Santorini isn’t just beautiful, it’s unforgettable.
2. Barcelona, Spain
Bursting with colour, creativity, and Catalan flair, Barcelona is a city that lives and breathes art. Wander down Las Ramblas beneath the shade of plane trees, admire Gaudí’s whimsical architecture, or linger over tapas in a sunlit square. With P&O Cruises, you can explore the city at your own pace or join guided tours that reveal its rich history and vibrant soul. Don’t miss the chance to gaze over the skyline from Park Güell, or sip sangria on the beach as the Mediterranean sparkles in the distance, a city break and seaside escape all in one.
3. Dubrovnik, Croatia
Rising proudly from the Adriatic, Dubrovnik is a masterpiece of marble streets, terracotta rooftops, and sea views that stretch for miles. Step through its ancient city gates and wander along the mighty walls that once guarded this coastal gem. P&O Cruises’ excursions bring you closer to Croatia’s cultural heart, sail around Lokrum Island, sample local wines in the countryside, or explore the film-famous Old Town. By sunset, settle into a waterfront restaurant as the city glows gold, few places capture Mediterranean magic quite like Dubrovnik.
4. Rome (from Civitavecchia), Italy
All roads may lead to Rome, but with P&O Cruises, yours begins at sea. From the port of Civitavecchia, journey into the Eternal City and discover the icons that define Western history, the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps. Join a guided tour through the Vatican Museums, or wander off the map to find espresso bars and hidden piazzas where locals gather. History, art, and la dolce vita come together here in one dazzling stop that embodies the spirit of Italy itself.
