Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy
Rome, Italy: Civitavecchia was settled in 108 A.D. by the Emperor Trajan and has since served faithfully as a gateway to Rome, the capital of Italy. Once the center of the Ancient World from which emperors ruled over nearly all of western civilization, Rome is still a cultural mecca. Only a few cities in the world can boast such a well-preserved level of architecture, art, and religious iconography. There’s an enormous wealth of culture and history to discover on a cruise to Rome. Visit the ancient halls of the 50,000-seat Colosseum, gaze upon the ceilings of Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, and stroll the Capitoline Museum. Roman culinary prowess is well respected and beloved the world over. Experience authentic pizza, hearty bowls of fresh pasta, excellent cheeses, wines, seafood, and delightful desserts like tiramisu and gelato at family-run trattorias that have been preparing these traditional dishes for centuries. Walk the cobblestoned piazzas making your way to narrow side streets where you’re sure to find craftsman shops and beautiful boutiques filled with gorgeous handmade accessories and homewares for keepsakes and souvenirs.
Travel Tips
1
You have plenty of options. Rome’s metro system is reliable and easy to use since it only has three lines that intersect at Rome’s main rail terminal: Termini. You can get single journey tickets or day passes. More than 300 bus routes will get you close to most of the attractions, but you may still have to walk, particularly near the historic center as buses don’t travel down its narrow streets. Official taxis in Rome are yellow and have a taxi sign atop the roof. Note that taxis often charge extra for baggage and rates may increase on holidays, Sundays, and late at night. If you call for a taxi, the fare may begin from the telephone request, not from the point of origin, so double check before reserving. Rome has two international airports: Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, also referred to as Fiumicino, located 18 miles southwest of Rome; and Ciampino International Airport, located nine miles southeast of Rome.2
If you find yourself back in Civitavecchia after your time in Rome and need some more souvenirs, you’re in luck. There is plenty of shopping located near the cruise port. Just cross Via Garibaldi, which runs parallel to the sea promenade, and you’ll find several shops to browse. Head a little bit further into town and you’ll come to Corso Centocelle, which has even more stores and is a pleasant area to shop since it is a pedestrian-only zone. If you have even more time to spare and don’t mind a longer walk or short taxi drive, you can find over two dozen specialty shops at La Scaglia, a shopping center located about a 25-minute walk from the port.3
Italy’s currency is the Euro. For cruises from Rome, travelers should have a supply of cash. Most places in Rome take credit cards, though cash may be preferred in markets or small, mom-and-pop style restaurants. It’s especially important to double-check if a card is accepted if you’re not planning on paying with cash. To exchange cash for Euros, look for cash exchange offices or simply use the many ATMs around the city, although you may incur bank charges for exchanging cash in these. An ATM is called a bancomat in Rome. Tipping in Italy often isn’t necessary. A service charge is usually already included in the bill, so double-check if that’s the case; feel free to tip more for stellar service, though know it’s not expected. It’s also recommended to tip in cash as opposed to on a credit card if you want to make sure it’s the server who gets the tip.Day at Sea

Alicante, Spain
Boasting some of the finest beaches in all of Spain, Alicante is the largest city on the Costa Blanca. Being that this is one of the more boisterous and festive destinations, it’s no surprise that directly behind the beach you’ll find numerous hotels, nightlife venues, and even an 18-hole golf course. Beyond the tourist surface, this picturesque Spanish town enjoys a rich heritage with thousands of years of maritime history. To see how Alicante achieves the perfect balance of antiquity and modernity on Alicante cruises all you have to do is relax on the pristine sand of La Playa de San Juan, shop the Explanada de España, and conquer the Castillo de Santa Barbara.Venture through Alicante’s old town and take a trip back in time as you wander through its narrow streets passing by cathedrals and the town hall. For a jaw-dropping view of the harbor and the distant mountains, climb up to the top of Mount Benacantil to the Castillo de Santa Barbara. This structure was originally built by the Carthaginians in 400 B.C. and later claimed by both Romans and Arabs who built upon it further. When the sun falls on Alicante, the city ramps up for a long evening of eating, drinking, laughing, and dancing that truly confirms its reputation as a lively Spanish town.
Travel Tips
1
The best way to get around Alicante is by foot. It’s a 15-minute walk from the cruise port, or you can take a free shuttle bus to the city center. Taxis are easily hailed from the cruise port, and there’s a popular tram that can take you to the area’s more popular beaches.2
Souvenirs abound by the Alicante cruise port, especially knick knacks and beachy finds. Head into the city center for leather goods stores, clothing boutiques, and other chic spots within walking distance of the town’s major attractions.3
The official currency of Spain is the euro, and you’ll find ATMs throughout Alicante. Most spots in town accept debit and credit cards, too. Tipping in Alicante is optional and not required in most places, but when taking a taxi ride, it’s polite to round up to the next euro. At restaurants, leaving as much as a 5% tip is considered very kind.Malaga, Spain
Malaga is the gateway to the Andalusian countryside and the Costa del Sol, some of the region's most impressive beaches. It also is home to a number of magnificent palaces, including the Moorish Alcabaza and Gibralfaro.
Travel Tips
1
It’s easy to traipse around Malaga without a car, and many cruise ships visiting Malaga recommend that passengers walk around the city. There’s also a bike rental service and taxis available from the cruise port. A hop-on/hop-off bus for tourists runs frequently, too.2
Malaga’s best shopping is found in the center of the city, specifically along Calle Marques de Larios. There are many shopping centers located throughout the city for those looking for department store finds, designer goods, and other wares at varying price points. Souvenirs are available for purchase at the terminal where Malaga cruises stop, which many people pick up before heading back to their ship.3
The euro is the official currency of Spain. Passengers on cruise ships visiting Malaga will find plenty of currency exchanges and ATMs in the city. Tipping is considered unusual in Spain for the most part, but rounding up to the nearest euro for your cab driver or giving 5% to 10% at a restaurant is considered more than polite in most circumstances.Gibraltar, United Kingdom
The great Rock of Gibraltar is a sight to behold. Made of limestone, it towers 1,400 feet above the mouth of the majestic Mediterranean Sea and is surrounded by beautiful countryside and a nature reserve.
Travel Tips
1
Gibraltar is tiny but steep, and walking in the heat can be tiring. Luckily, there’s an excellent local bus network connecting all the main sights. Buy a Hopper ticket which is valid on all the buses and allows you to explore at your own pace. Taxis are available, too. The cable car is the most scenic way to reach the top of the Rock.2
Gibraltar has excellent shopping, all the more popular as it’s tax-free, with some spectacular bargains to be had for items like liquor, watches, and perfumes. The best shopping is on Main Street and around Casemates Square. You’ll find some international brands and the popular British clothing store Marks & Spencer, as well as a Morrison’s supermarket where you can buy British food. Local souvenirs to bring home include Gibraltar-made crystal, local chocolate, and artisan gins. Kids and grandkids will love cuddly Barbary apes that screech, too.3
The local currency is the Gibraltar Pound, which has the same value as the British pound sterling. British banknotes are accepted here, but you’ll be given change in Gibraltarian banknotes, which will not be accepted if you try to spend them in the UK; you’d have to convert them in a bank. Many businesses will also accept Euros, though it’s best to double check first. If you need cash, you’ll find ATMs outside the banks in town. This isn’t a big tipping culture, but 10 percent of the bill in a restaurant for good service is appreciated.Casablanca, Morocco
Casablanca cruises are full of adventure, cultural discoveries, and luxury when you set sail with Celebrity. Much like the famous Bogart and Bergman film of nearly a century ago, this Moroccan city evokes a certain romanticism of an exotic coast and culture that few other places do. Casablanca is a vibrant coastal city set along the Atlantic seashore of North Africa. It is Morocco’s commercial hub and considered a holy city to many, thanks to its abundance of historic mosques and carefully preserved Moorish Islamic architecture.
Travel Tips
1
Casablanca is a big, sprawling city, spread out mostly along the shoreline hugging the Atlantic Ocean. Private shuttle and car services are recommended for trips anywhere outside of the city center, and in the center, you can walk or take a licensed taxi if needed. Traffic can cause delays in many parts of the city, but you’ll find that many of the most popular sites are not far from each other, and fairly easy to reach by vehicle.2
Cruises to Casablanca wouldn’t be complete without some great shopping options, and this city’s got plenty to satiate the savvy shopper in all of us. Head to the Souq Habous in the 1930s-built Quartier Habous for a bazaar-type shopping experience, or to small boutiques around the Corniche that borders the harbor and port. You can also walk into the Medina for some gift shopping, which is adjacent to the port and easy to get to by taxi or a private shuttle from the terminal.3
The local currency in Casablanca, Morocco is the dirham. It is the only legal tender in the country, however many older locals may still call it a “rial” or “franc” as a habit from before it existed. For larger purchases, prices may be listed in Euros to help with conversions, and money is easy to change at a currency office, or withdrawn from a local ATM. Make sure to bring cash for smaller items, and it is customary to tip by rounding up in small amounts, or leaving about 5-10% for good food/drink/tour service. Keep in mind, haggling for goods is a local custom here, and a very common and polite practice in marketplaces.10 Days at Sea
