Ending cruise at the last Port Stop, rather then next day at Departure Port? Is it possible?

[Jimbo]

This is the last 3 days of the cruise. Would like to get off in Naples with other luggage to meet relatives that   live near by (Cusano Mutri) and over night at their house. Then we would get a rental car and probably go to Rome for a few days and then fly home  from Rome. Is this possible on a Celebrity Ship?

 

Cruise starts in Barcelona if that means anything?

Pre-covid, this was possible with extra payment.  Not sure if it still is possible now.

Theoretically yes.  You have to request permission of he cruise line.  Providing your port prior to Naples is in a Schengen country, there would not be any customs or immigration formalities.  But this is also a year away, who knows what may change.  EM

A lot depends on the rules of the port country, Italy in this case. There was a time this was allowed if requested and a small fee paid. Unsure if it is still allowed by Celebrity, but the country rules trump all.

It's called a downline debarkation and you have to have it approved in advance.  Contact Celebrity directly and ask.  There was another thread on here just in the last several days where a few people reported back that they were denied.  They had suspended the policy during COVID so maybe still sticking to that for now.  By Summer 2024?  Who knows?

stop before Naples is Florence/Pisa(Livorno) - Italy

Here is that recent thread where someone was told "no."  Of course it can depend on where but seems like as a matter of policy they're not currently doing it.
