Mediterranean Cruise (Cunard 2026)

Two years has passed since we embarked on our very first Mediterranean Cruise, which visited Croatia, Corfu and Southern Italy. We loved that cruise so much, it was always on the cards we would do another one in the Med, this time cruising from Barcelona to Mallorca, Corsica, Sicily and Naples.
Unfortunately Cunard has limited flight options (vs P&O), so we had to make the 3-hour drive from Dorset to London Gatwick, opting to stay overnight the night prior.
The outbound flight didn't get off to a good start, with a 2-hour delay meaning the arrival into Barcelona (embarkment port) was early afternoon instead of late morning, so Day 1 ended up being mostly travel, checking in, and settling in on Cunard's Queen Victoria.

Day 2: Palma, Mallorca
