Mediterranean Escape – Athens & Santorini
About this cruise
A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Barcelona on July 17, 2027 visits Messina, Rhodes, Santorini, Mykonos and Piraeus (Athens). You finish in Piraeus (Athens). Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. A lot of Western civilisation started around here, and the views haven't changed much since. Mykonos alone is worth the trip, Whitewashed glamour under the Aegean sun. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Celebrity Xcel joined the Celebrity Cruises's lineup in 2025. Still has that new-ship feel. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. Worth booking. That's the short version.

Getting there: out to Barcelona, home from Piraeus (Athens)
This cruise does not return to Barcelona. It ends in Piraeus (Athens), so your flight home leaves from there.
