Europe 2016

Uncovering the hidden Mediterranean With so many countries, three continents and thousands of years of history on the itinerary of Cunard's Mediterranean cruises, there are plenty of ways to discover this ancient sea. You can step into grand cities and laid back harbours, discover lively resorts and sleepy islands, stand before vibrant modern architecture or age old wonders. Experience it all on a Cruiseco Fly, Cruise & Stay holiday, that combines an elegant Cunard voyage with days on land for you to explore all that Europe has to offer. Whichever Cruiseco holiday you choose, you are guaranteed to visit the most fascinating places in the region.

ExperiencesYour cruise to the Mediterranean may be a sophisticated jaunt to French Riviera and Italy’s Renaissance treasures. It may follow the fairy tale Adriatic to Croatian gems and magical Venice. You could weave among Greek Islands filled with whitewashed villages or even reach the imperial splendor of the Black Sea.

CultureQuite simply, everything goes. You can wander sociable plazas, piazzas and squares, admire Monaco’s yachts and supercars or painted fishing boats on Corfu. Watch opera in Naples, vibrant street theatre in Barcelona or Whirling Dervishes in Turkey. Discover the birthplaces of iconic artists, philosophers and writers, or simply follow your instincts wherever you touch shore next on your Mediterranean cruise.

HistoryMany great civilisations once flourished around these shores. So a Mediterranean cruise offers the perfect opportunity to experience some truly iconic destinations. There’s the Parthenon on the Acropolis in Athens, Rome’s Colosseum and other imperial treasures and, at the Mediterranean’s easternmost reaches, Istanbul – a city that straddles Europe and Asia, full of churches, mosques and palaces.

CuisineYour taste buds are in for a treat all over the Mediterranean. You can sample Spanish tapas or Greek mezze, treat yourself to Italian coffee and gelato or Turkish tea and baklava. You can expect fresh fish and meats prepared to age old family recipes, while olives, sun dried tomatoes and fruit all feature heavily in the region’s cuisine too.

The Ultimate UpgradeExperience all the magic of the Mediterranean with voyages from 7 to 21 nights departing from Barcelona, Rome, Venice, Athens and Istanbul. Explore the Mediterranean in absolute luxury and enjoy the advantage of Cunard's upgrade offer.

Choose an Inside or Oceanview stateroom and wake up each morning in a Balcony stateroom*. Guests who book a Princess Grill will be upgraded to a Queens Grill*. Plus receive up to US$600 on board spending money per person on cruises of 10 nights or more.
