Heavenly Greece, Italy & Croatia
Sail the Mediterranean on Celestyal Journey
If you’re looking for an immersive Mediterranean cruise rich in culture, history, and coastal beauty, the Heavenly Greece, Italy & Croatia itinerary aboard Celestyal’s Celestyal Journey delivers an unforgettable experience.
This thoughtfully curated itinerary blends iconic Greek islands, Adriatic elegance, and southern Italian charm — all with Celestyal’s signature warm hospitality.
Greece: The Soul of the Journey
Greece is at the heart of this sailing.
Santorini
Clifftop villages, blue-domed churches, and breathtaking caldera views make this island unforgettable.
Mykonos
Charming alleys, whitewashed architecture, and iconic windmills overlooking the sea.
Athens
Step back in time at the Acropolis and Parthenon while enjoying the vibrant energy of modern Greece.
Rhodes
A beautifully preserved medieval Old Town surrounded by stone walls and centuries of history.
Celestyal’s deep Greek roots mean more immersive experiences and authentic cultural touches onboard.
Italy: Discover Bari & Puglia
Instead of the well-traveled ports of western Italy, this itinerary introduces you to Bari, located in the Puglia region along the Adriatic Sea.
Bari
A charming coastal city known for its winding Old Town streets, Basilica di San Nicola, and vibrant waterfront promenade.
Explore Puglia
From Bari, you can visit:
-
Alberobello, famous for its fairytale-like trulli houses
-
Polignano a Mare, perched dramatically above turquoise waters
-
Local olive groves and authentic southern Italian vineyards
This region feels less crowded and more authentic — a wonderful contrast to Italy’s busier cruise hubs.
Croatia: Adriatic Beauty
Dubrovnik
Known as the “Pearl of the Adriatic,” Dubrovnik’s terracotta rooftops and medieval walls create one of the Mediterranean’s most stunning skylines. Walk the ancient city walls, explore marble streets, or enjoy fresh seafood overlooking the harbor.
Croatia adds elegance and scenic coastal drama to the itinerary.
