Set sail for unforgettable European adventures with Celebrity Cruises

A captivating cruise across Italy and Spain

From the enchanting streets of Rome, where you can sit at the local pizzeria whilst enjoying the view of the Colosseum, to the energetic tapas scene of Barcelona, each stop on this 14-night adventure captures the beautiful contrasts of these two countries. Tuck into traditional Italian gelato under the Tuscan sun or enjoy a relaxed siesta after sampling seafood paella at a waterfront café in Valencia. These destinations speak to history buffs, foodies, and sun-seekers, offering the perfect blend of culture and leisure.

A taste of tradition in Spain and Portugal

On the nine-night sailing, prepare to be amazed by Europe’s western coastline like never before. The ship departs from Southampton before taking you to destinations including Lisbon, where you’ll experience the soulful sounds of Fado music, and Bilbao, home to the iconic Guggenheim Museum which is definitely worth a visit. You’ll find plenty of time to revel in Portuguese pastel de nata pastries fresh out of the oven and enjoy Basque cuisine, known for its innovative pintxos, small snacks typically eaten in bars.

A short and sweet Rotterdam and Bruges getaway

Perfect for a short break, this cruise pairs two charming destinations over four nights, making it ideal for those new to cruise or those looking to get away with friends. Start in Rotterdam and stroll through the lively streets around Markthal or take in views of the iconic Erasmus Bridge. Then move on to Bruges, known for the medieval design of the Belfry and the cosy canals. It’s the perfect place to indulge in handmade Belgian chocolates, Belgian waffles, or a local beer.
