Miami (March. 3, 2022) – The best cruise line in Europe just got even better as Celebrity Cruises announced today the award-winning cruise line will sail year-round in the Mediterranean, adding on to its summer season with sailings from September 2023 through March 2024. Sailing in the Mediterranean for the first time in winter, guests will be treated to a new-luxury experience on board the award-winning Celebrity Infinity® as they visit some of the most sought-after locations in the world, including the breath-taking Pyramids of Egypt, the striking Acropolis of Athens, or one of the oldest cities in the world, Jerusalem.

Rotating between setting sail from the ports of Barcelona, Spain, and Lisbon, Portugal, guests will experience one of the largest coastlines in the Mediterranean visiting the beautiful Palma de Mallorca, the stunning and historically rich city of Seville, and more.
