Lavender Trail – Nice, Portofino & Rome
About this cruise
You board in Barcelona on September 4, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Villefranche-sur-Mer, La Spezia, Portofino, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Naples, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. French Riviera, Amalfi Coast, and everywhere in between. Probably the most popular Med route for a reason. La Spezia alone is worth the trip, Gateway to the pastel villages of Cinque Terre. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Celebrity Xcel launched in 2025, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Worth booking. That's the short version.
