Why book a Europe package

A Mediterranean cruise is the densest planning problem in travel. Every port is a world city or a site people build entire holidays around, and each one asks a real question of you — Ephesus or the beach at Kusadasi, Hagia Sophia or the Grand Bazaar, Pompeii or the Amalfi Coast. There is no filler day to coast through, and the gap between a well-chosen port day and a wasted one is wide.

Distance is the other half of it. The sites people come for sit inland: Pompeii is 45 minutes from the Naples pier, Ephesus a half-hour from Kusadasi, the Amalfi hill towns an hour of switchbacks from Salerno. Our packages settle those choices in advance and put a driver and guide at the pier in every port. Each tour is already up to 40% cheaper on our site than through the cruise line, and the package prices below have a further 10–15% bundle discount built in — up to 50% below cruise line pricing in total, with both guarantees covering every port.

When to Sail

When to sail the Mediterranean

Mediterranean cruise season runs April through October. What changes is the heat, the queues at the major sites and the cruise fare.

April & May

Mild, green and comfortable for walking ancient sites — Ephesus and Pompeii are considerably easier before the summer heat. Thinner queues and lower fares, with sea temperatures still cool for swimming.

June – August

Peak season. Longest days, warmest sea and the fullest programme of sailings. Also the hottest and busiest, so early tour departures are worth taking at Ephesus, Pompeii and the Santorini caldera.

September & October

Warm sea, softened heat and noticeably quieter sites, with cruise fares easing from their summer peak. Many repeat Mediterranean cruisers rate these the best weeks of the year.

Book Early

When to book: 3–5 months before you sail

Mediterranean demand concentrates into a short peak, so reserve your package 3–5 months out and earlier for a June to August sailing. Small-group tours to Ephesus and Pompeii fill first, and Santorini caldera timings are limited by tender schedules. Reserve with a deposit now and pay the balance closer to departure; cancellation is free up to 7 days before your first tour.

Two Promises

Guarantees on every port, every package

Most independent operators won't offer these. We do, on every booking, automatically.

Back to Ship Guarantee

If any excursion in your package causes you to miss your ship's departure, we cover the cost for you to catch up at the next port. On every package, on every sailing. We've never missed a ship departure.

Don't Port, Don't Pay Guarantee

If your ship skips a port on your package itinerary — for any reason, including weather, mechanical issues, or itinerary changes — the cost of that port's excursion is refunded automatically. You only pay for the ports you visit.

Europe package FAQs

The 2-Port Package covers Salerno and Messina in southern Italy. The 5-Port Package covers Kusadasi, Istanbul, Santorini, Mykonos and Naples across Turkey, Greece and Italy.

They suit different itineraries rather than different budgets. The 2-Port Package is built for shorter western Mediterranean sailings that call at Salerno and Messina, covering the Amalfi Coast and Sicily. The 5-Port Package is built for the classic longer Mediterranean run through Turkey, the Greek islands and Italy. Each package is available only on sailings that call at every port it includes, so match the package to your ship's actual itinerary — or search your cruise above and we'll do it for you.

The 2-Port Package starts at $245 per person and the 5-Port Package starts at $468 per person. Both prices are per person and cover every included tour. Per port, the 5-Port Package works out lower — around $94 a port against roughly $123 for the 2-Port.

Every major line sailing the Mediterranean, including Royal Caribbean, MSC, Norwegian, Princess, Celebrity, Holland America, Cunard, Viking, Oceania, Silversea and Virgin Voyages. Use the search at the top of this page with your cruise line, ship and sailing date to see which package matches your itinerary.

Mediterranean cruise season runs April through October. June to August brings the warmest weather, longest days and the largest crowds at major sites. April, May, September and October offer milder temperatures for walking ancient sites, thinner queues and lower cruise fares — many repeat Mediterranean cruisers prefer them.

More than most regions. Ephesus, Pompeii and the hill towns of the Amalfi Coast involve uneven ancient paving, steps and stretches without shade. Comfortable closed shoes and water matter more here than anywhere else we operate. Several tours have lower-mobility alternatives — contact us before booking and we'll match you to the right option.

Our Back to Ship Guarantee and Don't Port, Don't Pay Guarantee on every port, cruise pier pickup and drop-off at each stop, and an English-speaking local guide throughout. Entrance fees to sites such as Ephesus and Pompeii, equipment and meals vary by tour — each tour's details page lists what's covered.

Two ways. Every Mediterranean tour on our site is already up to 40% cheaper than booking a comparable experience through your cruise line. Bundling ports into a package takes a further 10-15% off those individual prices, already built into the package price you see — up to 50% below cruise line pricing in total.

If any excursion in your Europe package causes you to miss your ship's departure, we cover the cost for you to catch up at the next port. Mediterranean port days often involve long inland transfers to sites like Pompeii and Ephesus, so we build our timings around ship departures. We have never missed a ship departure.

Yes. Every Europe package can be reserved with a deposit and paid in full closer to your sailing date, with free cancellation up to 7 days before your first tour.
