Mediterranean Grand Tour – Barcelona & Rome

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 14 nights from Southampton on September 12, 2026, visiting Cádiz, Cagliari and Civitavecchia (Rome), with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Spain to France. Barcelona stands out. It's Where Gothic grandeur meets avant-garde genius. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Celebrity Apex has 14 dining spots on board, most of them included. 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. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All in all, it's a solid trip.
