Azure Mediterranean – Santorini & Barcelona
About this cruise
The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 7 nights from Piraeus (Athens) on June 26, 2027, visiting Santorini, Mykonos, Kusadasi, Valletta and Barcelona. You get off in Barcelona, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. It's a proper Eastern Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Greece to Spain. Don't rush through Barcelona, which is known as Where Gothic grandeur meets avant-garde genius. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Celebrity Xcel (2025) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. And June means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
