Flights from seven regional airports have been added to connect to P&O Cruises’ Ventura in the Mediterranean this summer.
The regional charter flights will be available on 16 fly-Med cruises from Bournemouth, Belfast, Cardiff, East Midlands, Glasgow, Newcastle and Stansted.
These are in addition to connecting flights from London, Manchester and Birmingham.
Ventura will sail from either Venice or Genoa on seven and 14-night itineraries to the Greek Islands, Dalmatian coast and French Riviera.
P&O Cruises marketing director Christopher Edgington said: “We all want our holidays to be made as easy as possible and our new regional airport departures for the fly-Med cruises do exactly that.
“They will cut the travel time dramatically from home to holiday, providing even quicker access to the sun.”
