Arvia

P&O Cruises’ sunshine-loving ship Arvia is back for summer 2027 with a line-up that’s bound to make cruise fans smile! 

She’ll continue sailing her ever-popular 14-night Western Mediterranean adventures from Southampton every other Sunday, perfectly timed for a dreamy escape. There are two itinerary options to choose from, each packing in six fabulous ports over two weeks.

One route dives deep into Italian wonders with stops in Civitavecchia (for Rome) and La Spezia (the gateway to Florence and Pisa), while the other leans into Spanish and French charm with sun-soaked visits to Malaga and La Seyne-sur-Mer, where you can explore the coastal gem of Toulon.

The best part? Both itineraries feature the star-studded port of Barcelona. And for those short on time but big on wanderlust, Arvia will also be offering four Southern Cruise Breaks to Spain and France, first introduced in summer 2026, giving travellers the perfect mix of longer and shorter getaways.

Iona

Get ready, fjord fans- Iona is making her grand return to the Norwegian Fjords for summer 2027, and she’s sticking to what she does best!

Departing every Saturday from Southampton, Iona will once again dedicate her season to these breathtakingly beautiful sailings, gliding through dramatic landscapes, charming villages, and all the natural wonders the fjords have to offer.

But the fun doesn’t stop when summer winds down. As the season wraps up, Iona will mix things up with an adventure to the sun-drenched Canary Islands, a Northern Europe City Escape perfect for culture lovers, and some Southern Cruise Breaks to Spain and France for those looking for a quick dose of sunshine and sangria. 

It’s the ultimate mix of scenic serenity and sun-soaked style!

A highlight is a Spain-focused Western Mediterranean cruise featuring a stop in Cagliari, Italy, plus a once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness a Total Solar Eclipse in Cadiz!

For the ultimate getaway, there’s a 21-night Central Mediterranean journey ticking off bucket-list ports in Malta, Greece, Turkey, Italy, and Spain.

Whether you’re after a quick 7-night escape or a full-on 14-night adventure, Azura has you covered with a trio of dreamy Mediterranean itineraries spanning the Central, Eastern, and Western Mediterranean. 

Central Mediterranean fans can look forward to gems like Dubrovnik, Trieste, Zadar, Kotor, Corfu, and Cephalonia. Over in the Eastern Mediterranean, it’s all about Greek island magic with stops in Santorini, Heraklion, Rhodes, and Piraeus, the gateway to Athens.

Prefer a taste of la dolce vita? Azura’s Western Mediterranean itinerary delivers classic Italian ports like Civitavecchia (for Rome) and Livorno (for Florence and Pisa), plus visits to the glamorous French Riviera and the stunning shores of Corsica.
