Mediterranean Grandeur – Rome, Riviera & Barcelona

About this cruise

9 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) on September 22, 2026 visits Naples, La Spezia, Portofino, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Marseille and Barcelona and doesn't try to cram in too much. The sailing ends in Barcelona. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 3 countries (Italy, France and Spain) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. People come back from this cruise talking about Villefranche-sur-Mer: A Riviera gem tucked into a perfect bay. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Celebrity Equinox. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. 6 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
