The Celebrity Eclipse arrived in Barcelona earlier this month to kick off its fall season in the Mediterranean.
The ship was one of Celebrity Cruises’ vessels the region for the summer, having spent the past few months offering itineraries in Northern Europe.
In late August, the Solstice-class vessel embarked on a repositioning voyage that sailed from the Netherlands to Spain.
The 12-night cruise departed from Amsterdam and included visits to destinations in France, Spain and Portugal before arriving in Barcelona.
Highlights of the itinerary included visits to Le Havre, Lisbon and Palma de Mallorca, as well as a transit of the Strait of Gibraltar.
The Celebrity Eclipse is now scheduled to offer ten- to 11-night cruises that sail to destinations in both the Western and the Eastern Mediterranean.
In addition to Barcelona, the itineraries depart from ports in Italy and Greece, including Ravenna and Piraeus.
Sailing to the Adriatic and the Aegean, the cruises are highlighted by visits to the Greek Islands, Croatia, Turkey and Italy.
Among the destinations set to be visited are Dubrovnik, Mykonos, Kusadasi, Rhodes, Santorini, Split, Naples and La Spezia.
The season runs through early November, when the Eclipse is scheduled to embark on a repositioning voyage to Florida.
Sailing from the Port of Barcelona, the 2,850-passenger ship offers a trans-Atlantic crossing to Fort Lauderdale.
The 14-night cruise will feature stops in destinations in Spain, the United Kingdom and Bermuda, such as Málaga, Gibraltar and King’s Wharf.
The vessel is then scheduled to offer cruises to the Caribbean and the Bahamas from Port Everglades before returning to Northern Europe in May 2027.
In related news, the Celebrity Eclipse underwent a refurbishment project during a drydock in early 2025.
As Cruise Industry News reported at the time, the 2010-built ship introduced an enhanced suite enclave following the refit, as well as a slight increase in its guest capacity.
