Beginning with sailings from 13 April 2026, we are introducing a strengthened focus on iconic Mediterranean gems, including Italy, the Croatian coast, and the Greek Islands, known for cultural depth, striking coastlines, and serene maritime experiences.
This update reflects our careful and considered approach to itinerary planning, alongside overall Journey design and experience. The majority of the Summer 2026 sailings remain unchanged, ensuring continuity for guests with existing bookings.
What is changing?
Refined itineraries with enhanced ports of call focus on three of the Mediterranean’s most sought-after regions: Italy, Croatia, and the Greek Islands, with new lesser-known destinations offering authentic culture and fewer crowds
Amongst the ports added are Amorgos, Pylos, Bari, Kotor or Sarandë, ports that changed include Heraklion (Crete), Limassol (Cyprus) and Istanbul (Turkey)
What happens to my clients whose existing bookings are affected?
For Eastern Mediterranean Journeys with changes to embarkation or disembarkation ports: We are delighted to offer all of your clients the opportunity to retain their Journey while enjoying a complimentary extension, by embarking earlier or disembarking later than originally planned, where possible. We are also pleased to offer a 500 EUR/USD Journey Experience Credit (JEC) per guest (maximum 2 guests per suite), to your clients with confirmed bookings on these itineraries.
Alternative flexible options, including a refund, are available.
