Enchanting Mediterranean – Santorini & Barcelona
About this cruise
7 nights, 5 ports, all from Piraeus (Athens) on July 24, 2027. The route visits Santorini, Mykonos, Kusadasi, Valletta and Barcelona and the whole thing just flows. You finish in Barcelona. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. It's a proper Eastern Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Greece to Spain. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Celebrity Xcel launched in 2025, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
