A selection of new destinations have been revealed as part of Fred. Olsen Cruise Line's 2025/26 Worldwide programme, some departing from Southampton.
Guests will have the opportunity to visit numerous destinations such as the cliff-top towns of Cinque Terre and Amalfi, the Bay of Kotor and various Greek islands as part of the seven to 12-night cruises aboard the smaller ship 'Balmoral'.
Curated activities onboard and at the various destinations include Flamenco dancing, Greek dancing, Turkish baths, and sampling authentic local flavours.
Martin Lister, head of itinerary planning and destination experiences at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines said: "Our expert Journey Planners have poured their passion into hand-crafting a programme that they are truly proud of.
“Our new range of shorter fly-cruise options to the Mediterranean offer a range of journeys to some of its most inspiring destinations, where guests can really maximise their time for exploring ashore and with the benefit of less sailing time than departing from the UK.
“Among the itineraries, guests will have chances to visit the captivating La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, cruise along the spectacular Makarska Riviera in Croatia, see the stunning Hagia Sophia mosque in Istanbul and witness the whitewashed dome houses in Santorini.”
Launch offers allow up to £20 per person per night to spend aboard on selected five to 13-night cruises or free door-to-door transfers within up to 200 mainland miles from the port on 14 to 28-night sailings.
Balmoral's range of cruises includes the 10-night 'Spanish Colours and Cultures' voyage from Southampton from September 17, priced from £1,599.
Other departures include the 'Colourful Cliffside Towns of the Amalfi Coast' from Valencia on September 27 and the 'Bays, Mountains and Islands of the Dalmatian Coast' from Civitavecchia on October 7, with each starting at £1,799.
The 'Greek Island Odyssey' sets off from Dubrovnik on October 17, while Rhodes will be the starting point for 'Discovering Turkish Treasures' on October 25.
Specialist offers for solo travellers are also available.
