Your home for all 24 nights aboard P&O Arcadia — so you unpack once and wake up somewhere new each morning.
About This Cruise
The 24 Night Eastern Mediterranean Discovery is a 24-night one-way itinerary aboard P&O Arcadia. You board in Southampton and disembark in Cadiz, calling at 6 ports across 6 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in England (Southampton), Gibraltar (Gibraltar, Gibraltar), Greece (Rhodes, Rhodes), Turkey (Istanbul), Sicily (Palermo, Palermo) and Spain (Cadiz, Cadiz).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Southampton and home from Cadiz, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 15 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
