13 of the best budget cruises in the Mediterranean for under £1,200
The Mediterranean may be beautiful but it's not always easy on the wallet. Popular capital cities, swanky resorts and bucket list islands don't come cheap, especially if you make separate trips to each one and need to factor in sky-high hotel rates and ever-increasing air fares. A reasonably-priced cruise to more than one destination can often work out great value in contrast, with some even sailing straight from the UK to keep costs down. You'll often dine on board so won't need to worry about finding cheap eats in unfamiliar places, but can spend extra cash on souvenirs or locally-made goods to remember your trip instead. Here are some of the best budget cruises to choose. This article contains affiliate links that will earn us revenue MSC stands for Mediterranean Shipping Company, so it's no surprise this line knows what it's doing in the Med. If you want to dip your toe into the proverbial water and try a cruise for the first time, there are various one or two-night taster breaks from less than £150. Or you can sail away for a week for less than £450, which includes all meals and entertainment. What sets MSC apart from other lines is that you can join a circular cruise from a port of your choice, such as Genoa, Palma or Barcelona, making it easy to plan and budget for convenient flights. Not all Mediterranean cruise ships are made the same, and Star Clippers' romantic tall ships turn heads wherever they go. Replicating the swashbuckling vessels of yesteryear, they use warm Med winds as much as they can and it's an impressive sight to watch sailors raising the sails by hand. Passengers can channel their inner Captain Jack Sparrow and climb the rigging to the crow's nest on sailings that start from around £1,140 for four nights. Alternatively, the springy bowsprit nets at the front of the ship are great look-out points for dolphins. The onboard vibe is very friendly and the captain and officers mingle with passengers. Despite the name, this line has an array of Mediterranean sailings on its fun-packed ship for less than £1,000. Spend a week in Greece and the Adriatic with a fly-cruise on Explorer of the Seas, for example, and you'll visit contrasting ports such as the volcanic island of Santorini and the fortified town of Kotor. Fill the rest of the time trying out the ships' many attractions; the Perfect Storm twin racing slides, FlowRider surf simulator and rock climbing walls to name just a few. • Best cruises from Southampton Richard Branson shook up the cruise world in 2021 when he launched his unconventional line Virgin Voyages. You'll find Mediterranean sailings on the adult-only Scarlet Lady and Resilient Lady, which resemble hip hotels rather than cruise ships. There's a DJ in the foyer along with a tattoo parlour for any guests (or sailors as they're called by Virgin) looking for a lasting souvenir. You'll find week-long sailings for around £1,000, and can add shore excursions such as a pizza-making workshop in Naples or wine tasting on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius. This two-ship line offers port-intensive sailings focusing on the eastern Mediterranean and Greece from around £1,000, often with two port stops a day. Celestyal operates the comfortable refurbished vessels Celestyal Journey, which joined the fleet in 2023 and Celestyal Discovery for 2024. Families are given a warm Mediterranean welcome, with waiters making a big fuss of young sailors and remembering their favourite foods. Mediterranean flavours come to the fore in Celestyal Journey's Smoked Olive restaurant with dishes such as risotto flavoured with fresh black provides affordable premium holidays at sea with 12-night Med cruises for less than £800. Sailings are aimed squarely at mature Brits looking for a traditional experience, such as a choice of two sittings in the main dining room and formal nights. That said, it's certainly not old-fashioned and there's a lively bar and entertainment scene including silent discos. Ambassador's two ships, Ambience and Ambition, have been updated to a high standard, with spacious and contemporary cabins. No-hassle, no-fly cruises out of Tilbury, include winter sailings in search of welcome Mediterranean sunshine. Sailing on one of the world's most recognisable cruise lines isn't as expensive as you might think: you can experience life onboard the Queen Victoria for less than £1,000 for a 14-night sailing. Mediterranean voyages include days at sea to savour the Cunard lifestyle, such as the highlight afternoon tea served by white-gloved waiters and glittering black-tie balls. The 2024 flagship Queen Anne — the line's first new vessel in 12 years — also offers selected itineraries in the region, with a ten-night cruise starting from a little over £1,200. Live in Liverpool and don't want to fly down south to join a cruise? Then take a look at Fred Olsen Cruise Lines' Mediterranean round-trip itineraries from the maritime city. You'll sail to destinations such as Portugal, Spain, France and Morocco on the line's 1,338-passenger flagship Bolette. Ports of call include Tangier on the northern tip of Morocco and the coastal city of Cadiz in Spain. Back on Bolette, expect a full daily programme of entertainment and classes, including the chance to paint your very own masterpiece in the art studio. Week-long sailings with Fred Olsen start from just over £900. • Best Danube cruises for your next European sailing• Best cruises from Venice Another cruise line that's a firm favourite with Brits is P&O. It has a big choice of Mediterranean cruises from home shores, or from Southampton. Sailings include seven-night fly-cruises from under £1,000 with stops at Valletta, Ajaccio, Livorno, Civitavecchia and Naples, on family-friendly Azura. Med-themed dining venues include the Beach House, serving stone-baked pizzas by the pool, and tapas and wine pairings in the Glass House, founded by the wine expert Olly Smith. If you're after a romantic break, look at round-trip Southampton cruises to Spain and France on the adults-only Arcadia. Sick of being charged a hefty penalty because you need to travel in the kids' school holidays? Princess Cruises has reasonably priced Med itineraries available throughout the long summer break, from around £800. Its regular seven-night itinerary around France and Italy is one of its best bargains and means the family can hit the beach in Barcelona, sample bouillabaisse in Marseilles and throw a coin into the Trevi Fountain in Rome. Just bear in mind that air fare is extra so it's worth booking in advance to find the best deals. If formal dining and reading by the pool aren't your thing, Norwegian Cruise Line specialises in casual, action-packed days at sea. Activities on board include an aqua park with several multi-storey waterslides, a casino, a video arcade and a sports complex featuring a basketball court and ropes course. Entertainment is top-notch and includes shows such as the Broadway musical Million Dollar Quartet, a rock'n'roll duelling piano show and an interactive Deal or No Deal quiz. Seven-night itineraries around the Greek islands or the Adriatic sea start from around £800. Costs can soon spiral when you factor in travel to a London airport, perhaps including an overnight stay. Itineraries with Tui's Marella Cruises include flights from a huge choice of regional UK airports including Exeter, Southampton, Bristol, Bournemouth and Southampton. Fares (under £1,000) also include meals, snacks, transfers, tips and selected alcoholic drinks so you'll know exactly what you're getting on board and won't need to splash out in spendy spots like Barcelona, Valencia, Naples and Palma. A strict budget doesn't necessarily mean cutting time on board. Carnival Cruise Line has a range of itineraries longer than seven nights, all starting at under £1,000. These include nine and 12-day voyages around the Greek Islands and Turkey with a stop in the picturesque Greek port of Katakolon to visit nearby ancient Olympia. You'll have no problem filling sea days on board either as Carnival offers a packed schedule of complimentary entertainment including comedy shows, poolside movies under the stars, karaoke, Eighties-themed parties, pickleball and mini golf.
