Itinerary Overview

This ten-night voyage aboard Celebrity Ascent offers a rigorous and rewarding survey of the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian seas, bookended by the monumental history of Rome. Because Civitavecchia serves merely as the logistical gateway to the Eternal City, treating the embarkation and debarkation days as opportunities to explore Rome's land-based treasures adds significant value to the overall experience. The itinerary begins in Sicily, where Messina provides access to the hilltop town of Taormina and its famed Greco-Roman theater overlooking the Ionian coast. The ship turns north into the Adriatic, calling on two of Croatia’s most significant cultural sites. In Dubrovnik, walking the massive stone fortifications offers a tangible sense of the city's defensive history, while Split presents a rare opportunity to explore the living ruins of Diocletian’s Palace, where modern life continues within Roman walls. A stop in Bar, Montenegro, offers a grounded contrast, with the ruins of Stari Bar revealing layers of Illyrian and Ottoman influence inland. Crossing to Greece, the lush, Venetian-influenced streets of Corfu provide a distinct architectural shift before the route leads to Katakolon, the gateway to the archaeological site of ancient Olympia. The journey concludes in the chaotic, vibrant atmosphere of Naples, the launchpad for exploring the preserved streets of Pompeii. Sailing in August ensures bright, sun-drenched views of these coastal regions, though the summer heat makes early morning excursions the most comfortable strategy for exploring these open-air historical sites.
