Sunny Adventures – Rome, Sicily & Dubrovnik

About this cruise

10 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) on October 9, 2026 visits Messina, Dubrovnik and Split, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 4 countries along the Eastern Mediterranean coast: Italy, Croatia, Montenegro and Greece. People come back from this cruise talking about Split: Diocletian's palace, still alive after 1,700 years. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Celebrity Ascent (2023) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Civitavecchia (Rome) itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. 7 ports, 4 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
