Dreamy Mediterranean – Rome, Sicily & Dubrovnik

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 10-night sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) on August 27, 2027 visits Messina, Katakolon and Corfu, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 7 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Eastern Mediterranean route takes in Italy, Greece, Croatia and Montenegro, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Katakolon alone is worth the trip, Gateway to ancient Olympia. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Celebrity Ascent joined the Celebrity Cruises's lineup in 2023. Still has that new-ship feel. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Civitavecchia (Rome) before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. Worth booking. That's the short version.
