Mediterranean Grandeur – Barcelona & Rome

About this cruise

There's a reason 10-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Barcelona on September 18, 2027 and visits Cartagena Spain, Tangier, Funchal, Málaga, Cagliari and Civitavecchia (Rome). Disembarkation is in Civitavecchia (Rome). Port days and sea days take turns, which is about as well-paced as a cruise itinerary gets. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Spain to Italy. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Celebrity Equinox has 10 dining spots on board, most of them included. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You start in Barcelona and come back with stories from Spain, Morocco, Portugal and Italy.
