Even Europe, one of the most popular travel destinations in the world, runs the risk of becoming humdrum and uninspired when overdone.

We all know that a city really comes alive at nighttime. The bright lights, electric buzz, and late night exploration allow you to see the city in a whole new light. But on many cruises, your city journey comes to an end when really it is just beginning. 

With Celebrity Cruises, there has never been so many overnight stays added to itineraries. Witness Florence, Pisa, Istanbul, Lisbon, Reykjavik, Athens, Madeira, Copenhagen, and Thessaloniki after dark and get a real taste of the more vibrant side of Europe. 

Whether you’re enjoying a sunset walk on the beach with what feels like all the time in the world stretched out ahead of you or discovering your new favourite cocktail at a local bar, the city and culture are kept alive thanks to the ships staying in the ports overnight.

A voyage to Japan is more than a simple getaway; think less holiday and more immersive experience. Sailing on board the completely refurbished and revolutionised Celebrity Millenium, you’ll port in Tokyo merely 11 miles from the city centre where you’re guaranteed an overnight stay on every cruise. 

Ditch the usual tourist traps and explore Japan at its most authentic as you float among the bright colours, breathtaking storytelling, and extraordinary cuisine of traditional Japanese festivals available on various Celebrity Cruises 2027/28 itineraries. 

Gion Festival 

A ritual of purification that began in the 18th century to appease the Gods after the black plague, this magnificent festival floods the streets of Japan with thousands of colourful paper lanterns visible throughout the city. 

Nebuta Festival

A celebration of different Gods, mythical figures, and heroes, the Nebuta Festival is packed with giant, illuminated floats, Hanetoa dancers, and a firework display to end the final night with a bang. 

Golden Week

Wander the streets of Japan like a local during Golden Week, a week where four national holidays fall. Celebrate the important Showa Day, Constitution Memorial Day, Greenery Day, and Children’s Day and experience a whole new world.

From the ancient streets of Rome to the geysers of Iceland, it’s no surprise tourists flock to iconic bucket-list destinations. And on a Celebrity Cruise, these certainly aren’t missed out, but you also get the chance to sail off the beaten path to more unusual, less explored places you might not have been before. 

Voyage to the Baltic Sea and wander the ancient ruins and beaches of Visby, an enchanting town on the Swedish island of Gotland on a Celebrity Cruise around the best of Scandinavia

On a journey discovering the delights of France, Spain, and Portugal, enjoy a stop at the stunning city of Porto. The UNESCO-listed historic center along the Douro River is also the birthplace of the famous fortified wine, so get ready to indulge in the world’s best port and some delicious local delights.

Enjoy the fan-favourites of the Mediterranean, Italy, and Spain, and discover Cagliari — an Italian hidden gem in the heart of Sardinia. From 13th-century cathedrals to the beautiful pink flamingos that thrive in the shallow waters, witness Italy with a twist.
