Mediterranean Grandeur – Barcelona to Athens

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 9 nights from Barcelona on April 1, 2028, visiting Civitavecchia (Rome), Salerno, Messina, Rhodes, Heraklion and Piraeus (Athens). The sailing ends in Piraeus (Athens). There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Hot coastline, hilltop villages, and very good food. That's the Western Med in a sentence. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Celebrity Infinity has 9 dining spots on board, most of them included. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 9-night sailing is a strong place to start.
