    Civitavecchia feels like sea air and ancient stone, espresso nearby, trains humming toward Rome, and the promise of history just an hour away.

    Captain's Tip

    Your cruise departs from Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy on the Celebrity Ascent, carrying thousands of passengers. Fly in the day before to protect against flight disruptions - the ship won't wait. If you're given an assigned boarding time, showing up earlier sometimes works but isn't guaranteed. Complete your online check-in before arrival. Just outside town, the Terme Taurine are ancient Roman bath ruins set in a quiet landscape.

    Florence feels like stepping into living art, sunlit stone streets, Renaissance beauty at every turn, rich food aromas, and a creative energy that never fades.

    Captain's Tip

    With 12 hours hours in Florence, Italy - from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM - you have a full day ashore with room to breathe. Go beyond the typical tourist stops: neighborhoods, local dining, and cultural sites that most cruise visitors never reach. Leave time for unstructured wandering. Artisan workshops, small squares, and traditional eateries create a slower, more residential feel.

    Captain's Tip

    The Celebrity Ascent will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Portofino, Italy. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. Walk along the iconic harbor to admire colorful buildings and luxury yachts.

    You'll have 8 hours hours to explore Cartagena, Spain, from 11:30 AM to 7:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. This is one of the easiest ports for independent exploration, as most major sights are within walking distance.
