The Mediterranean culture is so rich, so expansive that we wanted to give you a real immersion in part of it. To really focus down and give you that understanding and love for the countries you travel to we narrowed it down to two (and a bit). 

We start in glorious Spain, in the Catalonian city of Barcelona, home of so much art, incredible food and joyful culture that you could stay forever. We get a second taster of a Spanish coastal city from a cruise down to stunning Valencia, before searching out the more tranquil side of Spain on the white isle, Ibiza. This gives a great snapshot of Spanish life before we head to Italy. What we have put together here is truly unique, a cruise down the coast, stopping at some incredible sites and taking a little sojourn to Corsica to add a little France to the trip. After exploring the best of the coast, you then explore the heart of Italy, getting to know its culture and of course, its food, as you travel right up the centre of the country. 

We wanted you to explore the beauty of the Med in sheer luxury and we searched hard until we found the Celebrity Edge. The Celebrity brand is all about quality and luxury and the Celebrity Edge is one of the newest ships in their fleet. Every aspect of the ship is 5-star, like the six complimentary restaurants to the three speciality restaurants, where fine cuisine is expertly blended with an experience you will never forget. 

Edge also boasts two world-class spas, created to provide cutting edge treatments, gathered from around the world. Add to this a wealth of entertainment, including the innovative Magic Carpet, a moving bar/restaurant that moves from deck to deck, giving a unique experience and view every time. There are pools, a solarium and a wide range of sporting activities and just when you think a cruise couldn't get any better, it absolutely can. On every Celebrity Cruise you have the outstanding Always Included package which means a free bar throughout your trip, powerful wifi whenever you need it and gratuities are also included, which means you never need to think about money for tipping. Celebrity cruises are the perfect way to explore.

You kick off your tour in beautiful Barcelona. After a couple of nights here, you board your Celebrity Cruise to sail down the coast to Valencia then across to Ibiza. From there it is up to idyllic Portofino in Italy. We pop into Corsica on the way to La Spezia and Rome on the coast. Arriving in Rome we switch to luxury coach and head north to Assisi, Florence, Venice and finally Milan and the stunning shores of Lake Como.

All the hotels we have hand-picked for this tour are 4-star and right in the centre of their cities, giving unparalleled access to all the incredible history, art, music and architecture that each city brings.  Your 5 star luxury cruise ship, the Celebrity Edge, is packed with so many amenities it will astound you!
