Get lost in Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar, linger over a seaside lunch in Mykonos and admire Santorini from the water, with Celebrity Ascent® taking you from one stop to the next.
Some places are best explored without a plan. Istanbul is one of them, where a wrong turn might lead to a hidden courtyard, a tiny coffee shop or a spice stall that’s been trading for generations. With two days to explore, there’s time to see beyond the usual sights. Sailing aboard Celebrity Ascent®, this cruise begins in Rome before calling at Crete’s harbour town of Chania and the ancient city of Ephesus, where marble streets have survived for thousands of years. In Santorini, find a quiet spot overlooking the caldera, then swap the island’s cliffs for Mykonos’ waterfront restaurants and winding whitewashed streets. The final stop in Salerno puts the Amalfi Coast within reach, with its lemon groves and seaside cafés. Back onboard, Celebrity Ascent® offers a different perspective on the Mediterranean, whether you're enjoying dinner with an ocean view, relaxing in the Rooftop Garden or watching the coastline disappear from the Magic Carpet®.
