    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.

    Captain's Tip

    You'll have 8 hours hours to explore Chania, Greece, from 11:59 AM to 8:00 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. From the tender pier, most attractions are reachable on foot.

    Captain's Tip

    The Celebrity Ascent will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Santorini (Thira), Greece. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. Walk through Oia's narrow streets lined with whitewashed houses and blue-domed churches.

    Captain's Tip

    Your ship arrives in Ephesus, Turkey at 8:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off.
