Celebrity Cruises – Adriatic and Mediterranean
Outline Itinerary
The cruise starts in Venice with an overnight stay. One must visit Square Piazza San Marco where you can see St Mark’s Basilica, Doggy’s Palace and Torre dell’Orologio. Why not take the lift in the city’s tallest building, the Campanile, which is approx. 100 m high with views to the Dolomites and the whole lagoon or if you’re a romantic go for a trip on a gondola along the beautiful waterways. Next is Civitavecchia for Rome. Here you can visit the Vatican, St Peters Square, the Spanish Steps, the Colosseum where gladiatorial games were held. The history of Rome is around every corner and will not disappoint you.
Florence is famous for its abundance of Renaissance art and architecture, and it feels like you have walked into an outdoor museum. Attractions include Palazzo Pitti, a 15th-century palace, Basilica Di San Lorenzo, which is one of the oldest churches in Florence.
The next port of call is Toulon which is a base for the French navy and home to the National Museum of the Navy and is also a busy harbour where you can take the cable car up Mount Faron. During the climb, the view is amazing, and you can take a boat tour around the harbour or visit the Musee d’Art. Also the Landing Museum for Allied Forces 1944 is well worth a visit.
The final port is Barcelona where you would need to add an extra night so you can enjoy attractions such as the famous La Sagrada Familia church. The Magic Fountain Show, which attracts 2.5 m visitors per annum or the Picasso.
Celebrity Constellation was launched in 2002 with a 2,034 guest capacity. The Millenium class ship was refitted in 2013 to Solstice standards.

The superiority of the AMADEUS Royal is discernible down to the smallest detail – be it in the gastronomic delicacies that appear from the kitchen or in the fine wines emerging from the ship’s cellar in the appointments of the luxurious Panorama Bar or in the enjoyment of a relaxing massage or the sipping of a gloriously cream cocktail accompanied by the tinkle of mood-matching piano playing.

Afterwards, you’ll venture to the southernmost tip of Cape Sounion to discover the impressive Temple of Poseidon.
Highlights:
•View the remains of several ancient Athenian monuments, including the Theatre of Dionysus, the Propylaea, and the Erechtheum.

European Cruises
While you can savour the beauty of the Mediterranean Sea from the beaches of exotic French, Italian, Spanish and Greek locations, a trip aboard a luxury cruise line is arguably a better way to do it. Think about it, how else will you get away from it all and have the endless seas to yourself while savouring the tastiest dishes and sipping cocktails (and probably also relax in a bubble bath). All this while giving the explorer in you a field day, touring the sights and sounds of some of Europe’s most celebrated resorts. There really are few, if any, better ways of spending a holiday.
The Western Mediterranean Cruise offered by the Royal Caribbean Legend of the Seas is one of the most highly rated European cruises. It offers the willing traveller a sweep through some of Italy, France and Spain’s most beautiful cities aboard a beautiful, clean vessel equipped with virtually all the bells and whistles expected of cruise ships. Of your seven-day long cruise, you will spend at least four days wandering through the streets of Barcelona, Naples, Rome and other attraction-laden cities. Among the key marvels of this cruise is the sheer opulence of the rooms guests spend their nights in. A king size bed, a sofa that folds into a double bed and a glass coffee table are some of the elegant furniture items that voyagers will find there. To ensure you’re completely at ease in your room, there is an air conditioner that you can adjust to your liking. To kill those hours before you fall asleep is a TV with a couple of movie channels. But perhaps the best part of these rooms is the balcony that offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean.
The ship even has ATM services on board should you want to buy anything or tip the staff. If you have to keep an eye on your email while on holiday you can take advantage of the computers hooked up to the Internet.
Fancy a swim or a poolside lounge as you sail? Feel free to splash about in the on board swimming pools or lie in the lounging chairs that dot the pool deck. If you have your youngsters with you, the shallow pools will be perfect for them to play in.
The bars serve voyagers a large variety of drinks and some smashing cocktails. And with activities such as karaoke and comedy nights, you’re bound to live out some unforgettable moments. There are also numerous other activities organised to help voyagers interact and create some magical moments of their own. Repasts to suit diverse palates are available on robust menus that offer everything from pizza and burgers to seafood.
Further steps have been taken to ensure the total relaxation of visitors with on board spas in which guests can get the kinks rubbed out of their backs by professional masseurs. There is also hydrotherapy available in the spas on some European cruises. Still on health matters, should anything go awry as regards your (or your kids’) health during your dream voyage, you can relax in the thought that fully qualified doctors and nurses form part of the ship’s staff.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for organising our trip to Verona last weekend. This was a very emotive trip for my wife & I, as it was our first trip to Italy since my wife's cancer diagnosis 2 years ago. Italy is without a doubt our favourite place on the planet and we were not sure if she would see it again. Thanks to you, she has regained, what I call her Italian smile, it came across her face the minute we touched down. Money cannot pay for that smile!The hotel at Gatwick was literally a 2 minute bus ride from the airport, front row seats on the flight over and chauffeur driven limo to meet us at the airport was an amazing start to the weekend. When you said we were staying in a 3 star hotel, I was, if I'm honest, a little nervous, generally speaking, 3 star hotels in Italy means you are sleeping in a cow shed. Not at the Hotel Milano, what an amazing hotel, slap bang in the centre of Verona, with views of the arena, excellent breakfast, towels changed twice daily, good size bedrooms and very comfortable beds! The air con worked superbly, which was just as well with temperatures in the 30's every day. Thank you for making this trip memorable for both of us.

The price through Jackie was cheaper than what we could of booked it ourselves.

Jackie arranged everything to make the holiday as easy for me as possible. The hotel was lovely and just what we wanted - we had a great break.Before contacting Jackie I had already wasted almost a full day trawling the internet and tying myself up in knots. Jackie did all the research, gave me loads of suggestions and had the whole holiday booked and organised in just a few hours. All I had to do was pack and turn up for the flight. Next time I'm not going to even think about searching online - I'll get straight in touch with Jackie and ask her to sort it out for me! Thanks Jackie! xx

Hi Olivia, Just wanted to let you know that we had a fabulous holiday at El Paso Hotel, It was excellent, the food plentiful and there was a good selection. All geared up for families, with a lovely big pool. Being close to the theme park and water park was the icing on the cake, we even managed to spend one morning on the beach, this was in walking distance. Our private transfer was perfect, no worrying about the childrens seats as they were in our bus. Thank you so much for arranging everything for me and my family, you were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble, you certainly made the whole holiday experience for the eleven of us a complete joy. I will certainly be using you again.
