7 Night Cruise sailing from Athens to Barcelona aboard Crystal Serenity.
Explore iconic landmarks from the mighty Acropolis to Gaudi’s architectural triumphs on this voyage. Leaving Athens in your wake, enjoy plenty of vitamin sea aboard Crystal Serenity. Your first stop is Taormina, known for its stunning vistas and tastebud tempting gelato. Carry on the dolce vita to the lemon-scented streets of Sorrento, then sail to Civitavecchia, gateway to the eternal city of Rome. Livorno is next, beckoning you with its Renaissance art and access to Florence and Pisa. After a final sea day, disembark in Barcelona.
Highlights of this cruise:
Athens
Experience the vibrant and historic port of Piraeus, Athens’ gateway to the Aegean islands and beyond, and find a rich maritime heritage, a bustling local culture, and access to the wonders of Athens. Venture through Greece’s largest port city, Piraeus, as you make your way to the cradle of Western culture and the birthplace of democracy. Athens, among the world’s oldest cities with a history spanning 3,400 years, has long been the location of myth and muse, and its ancient heritage is still an incredible source of inspiration. Here, the Acropolis crowns the city as home to the Parthenon and other legendary temples and monuments.
Sorrento
Famous for its stunning views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the nearby island of Capri, its vibrant cultural and culinary scene, and its convenient and beautiful location as a starting point for exploring the stunning Amalfi Coast, Sorrento surely has a lot to offer the happy traveler who finds themselves here. The views are legendary; the town’s cliffside position offers spectacular vistas that have captivated visitors for centuries while the food is off the scale delicious. Sorrento’s culinary offerings are a delightful journey through the flavors of the Amalfi Coast, where freshness and simplicity define the cuisine, allowing the region’s high-quality ingredients – and culinary creative talent – to shine. If you can tear yourself away from the restaurants, cafes and gelatarias, then take a stroll through the pretty streets. Sorrento’s history spans centuries of civilization and cultural influence, with origins tracing back to the ancient Greeks, and layers of Roman, medieval, and Renaissance influence wocen into the tapestry of daily life.
Barcelona
Barcelona is a vibrant city on the northeastern coast of Spain known for its stunning architecture, and rich cultural heritage. Barcelona’s seaside beauty, sprawling beaches, eclectic architecture, world-class tapas and Tempranillo are all reasons to fall in love with the city of Gaudí. Indeed, the treasures here are many and diverse, captivating travelers and experts alike. In fact, nine important sites in the city, seven designed by the famed architect himself, have earned the acclaim of UNESCO.
With an industry-leading space to guest ratio across an array of social areas, crystal serenity offers the utmost comfort, quality, personalisation and choice.
