Review summary

The Infinity is a lovely ship - a bit worn if you look closely, but it's scheduled for a total refurbish in Nov 2019. The crew on the Infinity is, hands down, the friendliest, most customer-service minded crew we've ever sailed with! Simply an amazing crew and culture on board!

Ports of call

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5
Stayed 2 nights prior to embarkation and toured on our own.

Sete (Carcassonne), France

5 out of 5
Excursion: Montpellier Secrets. Very relaxing, quiet, low key, and enjoyable excursion!

Villefranche-Sur-Mer, France

5 out of 5
Beautiful!!! Excursion: A Day in Nice and Eze Discovery. Both destinations were beautiful! Tours were great and allowed us time to explore on our own, which we loved!

Toulon, France

5 out of 5
Excursion: Discover the Best of Provence (Marseille and Le Castellet.) Marseille felt a little hectic just because of the size of the city - but the wharf area was fascinating!

Cannes, France

3 out of 5
Excursion: Discovering the Villages of Provence. This tour sounds perfectly lovely, but felt like a bit of a let down. Our local tour guide was slow and dull, and the entire tour was just somewhat boring. We would choose something different next time.

Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy

5 out of 5
Excursion: Grand Tour of Florence and Pisa. Beautiful, gorgeous, fascinating! (Be on guard for pick pockets at both of these tourist heavy destinations.) Lunch was provided as a part of this tour and was absolutely delicious, well-organized, and so much fun!

Ajaccio, Corsica

5 out of 5
Excursion: Prunelli Gorges. Beautiful! Breathtaking views and so nice to get out of the cities and see this incredible terrain/scenery!!

Valletta, Malta

4 out of 5
Excursion: Blue Grotto Boat Trip & Marsaxlokk. The Blue Grotto was stunningly beautiful, but this vendor/provider rushed us through the boat tour disappointingly fast. Would like to have had more time to take in the caves and incredible color of the water.

Messina, Sicily

5 out of 5
Excursion: Taste of Sicily: Mt. Etna & Taormina. Our local guide was not the best, but the destinations were beautiful and interesting! Taormina is gorgeous!

Salerno (Amalfi Coast), Italy

5 out of 5
Excursion: Celebrity Priority Access: Capri, Sorrento, & Pompeii. Each of these destinations was fascinating and beautiful in its own way! Immediately upon going ashore we boarded a ferry for a rather lengthy but scenic ride to the island of Capri, then boarded a different ferry for the transfer from Capri to Sorrento. (Because there are so many different modes of transportation involved in this tour, you cannot leave any person items behind as you will not return to the same ferry, etc.) This was a complicated tour to organize and time because there were so many components and methods of transportation involved, but our guide was cool and calm and carried it off without a single glitch! Lunch was provided as a part of this tour and was absolutely delicious, well-organized, and so much fun! Pompeii was incredibly hot, but very interesting. This was a great day!

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

5 out of 5
We stayed 4 nights in Rome after disembarkation before flying home - toured on our own.
