    Captain's Tip

    Your cruise departs from Barcelona, Spain on the Celebrity Xcel, 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. Fresh produce, seafood, and friendly exchanges reflect how food anchors social life here.

    You'll have 11 hours hours to explore Naples, Italy, from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing.

    With 12 hours hours in La Spezia (Cinque Terre), 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.
