Celebrity Mediterranean Cruise & Stay Rome

Day1 Fly to Rome

Fly from Dublin to Rome. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to your embarkation point at nearby Civitavecchia. Climb aboard the luxury Celebrity Reflection, and begin your Voyage of Discovery.

Day2 Messina, Sicily

Say buonjourno to the beautiful city of Messina! This stunning Sicilian harbour city is filled with glorious scenery and historical sites, including the must-see Messina Cathedral, which lies only a ten minute walk away from the port. One cannot visit Sicily without sampling its cuisine, so ensure you make pitstop at one of the nearby restaurants for some sublime and authentic arancini!

Day3 Valletta, Malta

Your third day will see you arrive in the historic city of Valletta. The center is located a ten minute walk from the cruise port, and is chock-full of impressive sights and historic landmarks. Feast your eyes upon the City Gate, Parliament Building and Opera House, or take some time to enjoy its beautiful beaches and seaside restaurants.

Day4 At Sea

You will spend your fourth day at sea cruising from Malta to Mykonos! This will give you a chance to relax onboard your five star liner. Explore its great range of amenities and enjoy the wealth of entertainment activities on offer. Why not relax beside the open-roof Solarium pool or perhaps indulge in a spa treatment?

Day5 Rhodes, Greece

Make sure you get a good vantage point from the comfort of Celebrity Reflection as you arrive in Rhodes. The views from the sea really are spectacular and you certainly don’t want to miss it. Rhodes, itself, is one of the best preserved medieval towns in the world and a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site, and you have a world of wonderful wonders to explore! Take the pleasant 15-minute stroll to the city’s Old Town, a maze of cobblestone streets, flanked by historic buildings dating from the 14th century.

Day6 Mykonos, Greece

Today, you will get a chance to experience the glamorous resort of Mykonos. This will give you a true flavour of what the Cyclades islands are really like, with its traditional whitewashed architecture and maze of narrow streets. There’s plenty to see and do during your day of exploration here. You can’t visit without venturing to one of its beautiful beaches. We advise hopping in a taxi and taking the twenty minute trip to the southern – and ultra picturesque – Super Paradise beach.

Day7 Santorini, Greece

Today, we dock at the dramatically beautiful island of Santorini. This Greek idyll will leave you in awe with its multicoloured cliffs, whitewashed houses and stunning views across the sparkling Mediterranean sea. Once you arrive on terra firma, you’ll have two ways of venturing up to the town of Fira: on the cable cars or on a donkey. Yes, a donkey! Fira, the island’s capital is full of small, winding streets filled with shops, bars and restaurants. 1500bc is a great little spot for something to eat. Sit out on the patio, order a crisp wine, and get stuck into some of the most divine seafood you’ll ever try!

Day8 Athens, Greece

Today, we dock at Piraeus, the classical port of Athens. Spend the day here wandering the narrow and winding streets, filled with shops, bars and restaurants, or jump on the bus from the cruise terminal and take the 30-minute journey to Acropolis, the ancient city of Athens. Here, you can explore first rate museums, lively cafés and great restaurants alongside iconic monuments and archeological sites.

Day9 At Sea

You will never be able to say you're bored on board the Celebrity Reflections. Reflection Theatre plays host to musicals, movies and daily trivia games; duty-free shops will keep you occupied for hours; and the wealth of bars as well as Reflections Fortunes Casino are more than enough to keep your throughly entertained.

Day10 Naples, Italy

Cruise to Naples, located on Italy's stunning Amalfi coast, a city rich in history. There are plenty of things to do in Naples for the adventurous and not so adventurous wanderer. If you feel like staying close, Naple’s grand piazzas, cathedrals and castles will keep you thoroughly entertained. Topflight also recommends hopping on the train at Napoli Centrale station, and taking the 30-minute trip to the historical wonder that is the ancient city of Pompeii!

Day11-13 Two nights in Rome

You will port for the last time in Rome, however, fret not – your adventure is not over just yet! You will enjoy two more nights in the Eternal City! You will stay at the centrally-located four star Hotel Villa Glori on a bed breakfast basis. With two and a half thousand years of history, art and culture, it is no wonder Rome is one of the most visited cities on the planet, so make the most of your days here! Gaze at the masterpieces of the Vatican or walk into the past with visits to ancient relics, historic monuments and legendary museums. Or indeed, people-watch while sipping on an espresso in a quaint café.
