Timeless Mediterranean – Rome to Ravenna

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 10-night sailing from Civitavecchia (Rome) on August 6, 2027 visits Portofino, La Spezia and Salerno, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You get off in Ravenna, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Italy, Montenegro and Croatia, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Don't rush through Catania, which is known as Baroque beauty in the shadow of Mount Etna. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Celebrity Constellation keeps you well fed. 9 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. If you can, add a night in Civitavecchia (Rome) before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All told, 8 ports across 10 nights covers a lot.
