Celestyal has unveiled its first dedicated Western Mediterranean programme, including a new 14-night voyage that combines Spain, Portugal and Morocco

The deployment, onboard the 1,360-guest Celestyal Discovery, includes 14 maiden calls across the region. The Mediterranean Odyssey: Spain, Portugal & Morocco sailing features overnight stays in Barcelona (Tarragona) and Lisbon, as well as extended time in selected ports.

The cruise will call at Malaga, Spain, with a late stay; Gibraltar; Casablanca, Morocco, also with a late stay; Cadiz, Spain; Lisbon, Portugal, with an overnight; Tangier, Morocco; Valencia, Spain; Palma, Mallorca; Sète, France; and Barcelona (Tarragona), with an overnight. Prices start from £949pp.

The itinerary can be split as a seven-night voyage sailing either Barcelona (Tarragona) to Lisbon or Lisbon to Barcelona (Tarragona). Prices start from £569pp.

The Western Mediterranean programme will be complemented by two eight-night Mediterranean Riviera repositioning voyages between Athens and Barcelona (Tarragona), allowing guests to sail between the Eastern and Western Mediterranean.

Depaarting from Athens, the cruise will call at Kusadasi, Turkey; Messina, Sicily; Naples, Italy; Civitavecchia, Italy, with a late stay; Nice, France; and Barcelona (Tarragona), Spain, including an overnight in the city. The return voyage will operate in reverse. Prices start from £649pp.

Guests can add the Mediterranean Riviera sailing to the Mediterranean Odyssey to create a 22-night voyage, or combine this with an existing four-night Iconic Greek Islands sailing for a 26-night voyage.

Lee Haslett, outgoing chief commercial officer at Celestyal, said: “For more than a decade, we’ve become known for delivering authentic and immersive experiences across the Greek Islands and Eastern Mediterranean. The time is now right for us to expand west and bring that same philosophy to a new collection of destinations.

“Rather than simply visiting the headline ports, we’ve carefully designed these itineraries to showcase the true character of the Western Mediterranean. Alongside the overnight stays in Barcelona and Lisbon we’ve included hidden gems such as Sète and extended time ashore, allowing guests to connect even more with the destinations they visit.”
