Date Port Arrival Departure
 

Sep 9, Sunday

Rome/Civitavecchia, Italy »   7 pm
 
Civitavecchia was founded by Emperor Trajan in the 2nd century. Today this port is noted for its fine seafood and attractive monuments. Located 90 minutes away is the Eternal City of Rome. Steeped in 2,500 years of history, Rome was for many centuries the center of Western civilization. It was both the focal point of the Roman Empire and of Christendom. Landmarks such as the Colosseum, Forum, Pantheon, Vatican, Sistine Chapel and Spanish Steps are reminders of the legacy of its rich past.
 

Sep 10, Monday

Naples, Italy » 7 am 6 pm
 
Naples, the center of southern Italian commerce, is located on the scenic Bay of Naples. View a moment frozen in time at the excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum, ancient cities buried by an eruption of nearby Mt. Vesuvius.
 

Sep 11, Tuesday

Sicily/Catania, Italy » 8 am 7 pm
 
On a fertile plain surrounded by mountain slopes and the sea, Catania, the economic center of Sicily’s richest area is nestled snugly in a hollow. Once an important Greek and Roman colony, it is now a thriving commercial and industrial center. Though the city sometimes appears chaotic, it retains a certain beauty in the graceful elegance of its old buildings. Above the city rises Europe’s largest volcano, mighty Mt. Etna. North, along the coast, picturesque Taormina beckons one and all.

Cruising the Mediterranean Sea »
 

 

Aboard the most award-winning ships at sea, your story can be written exactly as you wish: pamper yourself at the Feng Shui-inspired Crystal Spa, work-out at the state-of-the-art fitness center or Walk-on-Water along our 360o Promenade Deck; learn how to translate your story into a movie with USC’s School of Cinematic Arts Digital Filmmaking class at the Creative Learning Institute ®; or learn about art, history and worldly destinations with our engaging celebrity entertainers and speakers with the Crystal Visions® Enrichment Program; sneak away to watch recently-released movies in the Hollywood Theatre, shop luxury boutiques, or simply lounge poolside while the attentive crew caters to your every whim. From mat Pilates and yoga to PGA golf instruction and paddle tennis on full-size courts, today is all about you. As evening arrives, dine on the renowned culinary creations of Nobu Matsuhisa, and Crystal’s own acclaimed chefs with new Modern Cuisine and Global Inspired menus, enjoy special wine-makers dinners, breakout new production shows, intimate lounges, a pulsing dance club or our action-packed Crystal Casino. The choices as always aboard the World’s Best are yours. How will you write your story on board?

 

 

Sep 14, Friday

Ashdod, Israel » 7 am 9 pm
 
A tidy planned community built on golden dunes, Ashdod is southern Israel’s only Mediterranean harbor. Yet this new city has fabulously ancient roots: Ashdod is mentioned in the Old Testament, and archaeologists have found ruins almost 4,000 years old. This is the doorway to the historic treasures of Jerusalem, and the worldly pleasures of Tel Aviv.
 

Sep 15, Saturday

Haifa, Israel (overnight) » 7 am  
 
Haifa is Hebrew for “beautiful coast,” and the shining coastline of Israel’s largest Mediterranean port lives up to its name. But even more impressive are the slopes of Mt. Carmel, on which much of the city lies. Travel through the gorgeous villas and resort hotels to the summit for spectacular views of the city’s many gardens, and striking Haifa Bay.
 

Sep 16, Sunday

Haifa, Israel »   7 pm
 
 
 

Sep 17, Monday

Limassol, Cyprus » 8 am 6 pm
 
The wine flows freely in Limassol, and so does the festive atmosphere. The center of Cyprus’ wine industry, Limassol is home to a bustling bar and restaurant scene, as well as numerous wineries that are open for tours and tastings. The city seems to be engaged in constant celebration, staging elaborate festivals throughout the year. For those who would rather revel in good buys, the expansive waterfront promenade and nearby streets present shoppers with a dizzying array of choices, from traditional, handmade goods to expensive designer labels. Limassol also offers quieter pleasures, including museums, art galleries, and lush municipal gardens.
 

Sep 18, Tuesday

Paphos, Cyprus » 8 am 6 pm
 

Steeped in mythological history, Paphos offers an abundance of architectural wonders. In fact, the entire city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Some of the treasures not to be missed are the spectacular mosaics unearthed in the House of Dionysus, charming Omodos Village and the solid rock catacombs of the Tombs of the Kings. Paphos is perhaps best known as the birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love. Her spirit lives on in the ancient ruins and temples, as well as the modern harbor and sun-splashed beaches where love is always in the air. Once you have discovered the sites beyond Paphos, you will find the palm-lined waterfront promenade most inviting for a stroll.

 

Sep 19, Wednesday –
Sep 20, Thursday

Cruising the Mediterranean Sea »
 

 

Sep 21, Friday Valletta, Malta » 8 am 11 pm
 
The island nation of Malta is a treasure trove of cultures. Valletta, its fortified main city, rises dramatically from the water. This “City of Knights,” a monument to the past, was founded in 1566 by the Grand Master of the Knights of St. John. Sights not to be missed include the Magisterial Palace and St. John’s Cathedral, which is lavishly decorated with the coats of arms and banners of the crusading knights. Beyond Valletta, the countryside, although austere and rocky, has a special charm. Malta provides an enduring fascination for all visitors.
