Revenue planning and deployment vice president Paul Grigsby said: “There’s so much to see throughout the Mediterranean region and by creating itineraries from multiple homeports we’re giving our guests the opportunity to explore more ports and countries in an exciting way we haven’t offered before. The range of options we’ve put together really allows travellers to choose their own, ideal Mediterranean adventure.
“Further, we made sure to listen to guest feedback when crafting these itineraries: we’ve included some of our most requested ports, including Bari and Portofino — two of 11 ports of call in Italy. And for the first time in over 15 years, we’re returning to St Tropez, France.”
