Ocean Discovery – Villefranche (Nice), Portofino & La Spezia
About this cruise
You sail from Barcelona on July 29, 2028 and spend 7 nights visiting Villefranche-sur-Mer, Portofino, La Spezia, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Naples. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. 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. French Riviera, Amalfi Coast, and everywhere in between. Probably the most popular Med route for a reason. 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 Xcel launched in 2025, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
