Mediterranean Grandeur – Rome & Barcelona

About this cruise

This one leaves Civitavecchia (Rome) on June 30, 2026 and spends 9 nights visiting Naples, Portofino, La Spezia, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Marseille and Barcelona at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. Disembarkation is in Barcelona. 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. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Italy, France and Spain. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Celebrity Equinox takes the food seriously, with 10 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Civitavecchia (Rome) has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. You start in Civitavecchia (Rome) and come back with stories from Italy, France and Spain.
