The beautiful Italian seaport of Livorno is your gateway to Florence, Pisa, and Tuscany's vast wine country. Pisa is most noted for its famous marble bell tower, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, which has tilted 14 feet since 1370.

Located in central Italy and the capital of the Tuscany region, Florence is the birthplace of history’s most important cultural and intellectual awakening--the Renaissance. There’s so much to see and appreciate on your cruise to Florence. Whether standing in awe of Brunelleschi's red cathedral dome on Piazza del Duomo or contemplating Michelangelo’s sublime hand in any of his masterworks, you will know that you are in the presence of one of the world’s great cities. The breathtaking scenery and all the romance conjured by the city’s streets, bridges, and buildings will not disappoint.

While at sea, indulge in some well-deserved relaxation before your next adventure. Unwind by the pool, pamper yourself at the spa, savor exquisite cuisine, or discover the unique venues on board. Your next incredible destination awaits.

Framed by Mount Vesuvius along a dramatic skyline, the 2,800 year-old port city of Naples is chock full of historical sites, churches, and museums that make it an incredible place for you to explore. And in the region where pizza was first invented, you know the food is going to be incredible. Just 35 miles down the coast, Salerno offers you a rich history but also boasts a marvelous collection of parks, natural wonders, and unique vantage points to take in the beauty of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Two cities. One incredible stretch of Italian coastline.

Located in northeastern Sicily on the slopes of the Peloritani Mountains, Messina is an ancient place with a fascinating history. Walk by the ruins of the Santa Maria Alemanna Church, built in 1220 A.D. You'll also want to see the Duomo, a Romanesque and Norman cathedral that includes a display of artifacts in its treasury.

Enjoy another day relaxing at sea, whilst taking advantage of all of the facilities onboard the Celebrity Constellation. Whether you choose to relax on the pool deck, see a show, or burn off some calories in the fitness suite, the day is yours to spend however you wish.

A cruise to Kotor, Montenegro offers up some of the most well-preserved architecture in all the Adriatic coast, with landmarks such as the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon. Built in 1166, there are frescoes dating back hundreds of years, and much of the gold and silver relief work done by the city's master craftsmen of that time are held for safe keeping within its walls. Tucked at the secluded tip of a tranquil bay and watched over for millennia by the surrounding mountains, Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage treasure.

Encircled by towering medieval walls and kissed by the turquoise sea, Dubrovnik is a city where history and beauty collide. Stroll along the iconic Stradun, explore centuries-old fortresses, and gaze out from the city walls over terracotta rooftops and shimmering waters. Whether you're soaking up the sun on a hidden beach or wandering through Game of Thrones filming locations, Dubrovnik offers a perfect blend of culture, charm, and coastal magic.

Set on Croatia’s sun-drenched Dalmatian Coast, Split is a vibrant blend of Roman heritage and Mediterranean spirit. At its heart lies Diocletian’s Palace, a living monument where locals sip coffee among ancient columns. With crystal-clear waters, bustling markets, and a lively promenade, Split is the perfect mix of history, culture, and seaside relaxation.

Zadar is a coastal gem where Roman ruins, medieval churches, and modern art blend seamlessly. Walk along ancient stone streets to the sound of the Sea Organ—an architectural wonder that plays music with the waves. As the sun sets, gather at the waterfront to witness the “Greeting to the Sun” installation light up, celebrating one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world.

Today your cruise ends in Ravenna, Italy. After disembarking at 6am, make your way to Venice Marco Polo for your flight back to the UK. If you wish to extend your stay in Italy, speak with your travel consultant and they can assist with accommodation and excursions in Venice.
