You'll step ashore at 3 ports across Mediterranean and Spain, with standout stops at Régua and Vega de Terrón along the way. From exploring ashore to relaxing on board, every day of this Mediterranean and Spain cruise brings a new experience to savour. Prices start at £1,357 per person for this 7-night CroisiEurope voyage.

Meanwhile, the 197-guest La Belle de l'Adriatique offers itineraries that take in local traditions.
