Sun-Drenched Terracotta – Barcelona, Portofino & Palermo

About this cruise

Block out 11 nights from July 26, 2027 and let this sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) do its thing. The route covers Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Portofino and Barcelona, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 7 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Western Mediterranean does coastal beauty and good eating in equal measure. Portofino stands out. It's Italy's most photographed fishing village. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Celebrity Ascent joined the Celebrity Cruises's lineup in 2023. Still has that new-ship feel. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All in all, it's a solid trip.
