Coastal Splendor – Rome & Barcelona

About this cruise

You sail from Civitavecchia (Rome) on May 5, 2026 and spend 9 nights visiting Naples, La Spezia, Portofino, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Marseille and Barcelona. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. You finish in Barcelona. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Italy, France and Spain. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 10 restaurants on Celebrity Equinox, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 9 nights. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
