Infinity’s Mediterranean Mosaic

Your Mediterranean adventure begins before you even set foot on the ship. Settle into your 4-star hotel in Athens tonight – the perfect introduction to a city where ancient history meets modern energy. The Acropolis is always close, and the Plaka neighbourhood rewards an evening wander.

This morning your private transfer whisks you from the hotel to the port, where Celebrity Infinity awaits. Settle into your stateroom, explore the ship, and raise a glass as she departs Piraeus at 5:00 PM – the Greek coastline fading into the golden hour behind you.

Often overshadowed by Greece’s more famous destinations, Kavala is a rewarding discovery – a port city draped across hillsides above a natural harbour, its Byzantine fortress watching over the old quarter below. With nearly ten hours ashore, there’s time to explore at your own pace.

Greece’s vibrant second city delivers culture, cuisine and energy in equal measure. A full day here – 13 hours in port – means you can take in the extraordinary UNESCO-listed Byzantine monuments, stroll the waterfront promenade, and still find time to sit over a long lunch in one of the city’s celebrated tavernas.

A well-earned day to settle into the rhythm of Celebrity Infinity. Claim a sun lounger on deck, indulge in the spa, or simply watch the Aegean drift past from your veranda. The ship’s restaurants, bars and entertainment are yours to explore at leisure.

Whitewashed walls, cobalt domes and the turning sails of the island’s iconic windmills – Mykonos delivers exactly the images you’ve imagined, and then some. Lose yourself in the labyrinthine lanes of Mykonos Town, discover hidden chapels, or find a quiet beach before returning to the ship in the early evening.

Step inside the walls of one of the best-preserved medieval cities in the world. Rhodes Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site – a living fortress of cobblestone streets, grand gates and ancient palaces built by the Knights of St John. Beyond the walls, the island’s beaches and villages await.

Few experiences match walking the marble-paved streets of ancient Ephesus – one of the most remarkably preserved classical cities in the world. The Library of Celsus, the Great Theatre, the Temple of Hadrian: this is history on an extraordinary scale. A full day ashore gives you time to take it all in.

An extended evening in Santorini is one of the great privileges of this itinerary. The island’s iconic caldera views are legendary at sunset – and with the ship not departing until 10:00 PM, you can stay long enough to watch the sky turn every shade of amber and rose over the Aegean before returning aboard.

Another day to restore and enjoy everything Celebrity Infinity has to offer, as the ship makes her way back toward Athens. A perfect opportunity to reflect on the first leg – and look ahead to what the second has in store.

The ship arrives early into Piraeus, and the second sailing – seven nights through the Eastern Mediterranean – begins. For back-to-back guests, this is a seamless transition. If you’d like to spend the day exploring Athens, the city is just a short journey from the port. (Note: specific turnaround arrangements for back-to-back guests should be confirmed with your Cruiseabout advisor.)

A relaxed day at sea as Celebrity Infinity heads northwest toward the Adriatic. Settle into the second leg of your journey with a morning in the spa, an afternoon by the pool, or a leisurely lunch in one of the ship’s signature restaurants.

Montenegro’s dramatic coastline makes an immediate impression – mountains tumbling into the Adriatic, ancient stone towns perched above deep blue bays. Bar serves as the gateway to this compact but compelling country. Ten hours ashore opens up the possibility of venturing inland, or exploring the medieval fortress town of Stari Bar nearby.

Walk the famous city walls that ring one of Europe’s most beautiful old towns, with the terracotta rooftops of Dubrovnik laid out below and the Adriatic shimmering beyond. A full day here does the city justice – time enough to explore the Old Town’s marble-paved Stradun, take the cable car to the hillside for panoramic views, or simply sit in a cafe and soak it in.

The final sea day before the return to the Greek islands. A chance to savour the last stretch of this extraordinary journey – the Adriatic giving way once more to the Aegean.

A second visit to Mykonos offers a different perspective – perhaps a quieter beach, a different neighbourhood, or simply more time to enjoy the island’s effortless style. Whatever you missed the first time around, today is your chance.

Santorini again – and it never gets old. The caldera, the cave houses of Oia, the volcanic beaches, the local wine. Twelve hours on the island is a generous farewell to the Greek archipelago.

Celebrity Infinity returns to Piraeus in the early hours, drawing the curtain on 17 extraordinary nights. Whether you’re heading home or extending your stay in Athens, this is a journey that will stay with you long after the ship’s wake has faded.
