August Cruises

The perfect way to end your summer

Make summer memories that will last a lifetime on an August cruise with Celebrity. Sail the glamorous coasts of Italy, France, and Spain, a feast of glorious architecture, exquisite art, and gelato in every shade of the rainbow. Or head for Greece for endless sandy beaches and breathtaking antiquities. Further north, take in the dramatic landscapes and cool cities of Iceland.

August is still a great time to cruise Alaska, with bears fishing for spawning salmon and opportunities for hiking, kayaking, and flightseeing over vast, creaking glaciers. If you’re in the mood for the warmth of the tropics, head to the blissful islands of The Bahamas, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel, surrounded by dazzling reefs. In August, you can also visit the Galapagos Islands, thrilling at any time of the year, for close encounters with the sea lions, iguanas, and giant tortoises that inhabit these wild, volcanic islands.

Itineraries

Featured august cruise destinations, italy, france & spain.

Enjoy a sun-drenched adventure to some of Europe’s most glamorous ports in August. Explore sleepy medieval hill villages in Provence, or wander through the winding lanes of the Cinque Terre fishing hamlets, spilling over impossibly steep cliffs. Marvel at the ruins of Pompeii and the extraordinary art treasures of the Vatican. Sample tapas in the sunshine in Palma, Mallorca’s elegant capital, and make time before or after your cruise to explore Barcelona’s wonderful art nouveau architecture.

On our August cruises to Alaska, choose from four thrilling itineraries and multiple sailing dates. Cruise from Seattle, Seward, or Vancouver and spend seven nights sailing through the rugged beauty of the last frontier. Go whale watching in the spectacular Kenai Fjords National Park. Ride an ATV in Icy Strait Point or fish for salmon in Sitka. Head to a private island for the chance to see brown bears and sea otters before dining on a local feast.

On a cruise to Greece, admire the graceful Parthenon in Athens and feast on seafood in Thessaloniki. Shop for island fashions in the whitewashed alleys of Mykonos Town, and soak up Santorini’s fiery sunsets. Travel back through time, from the archaeological site of Olympia, near Katakolon, to medieval Rhodes Town, and the elegant Venetian mansions lining Chania’s old harbor. Make time for the white sandy beaches of Zakynthos and swimming in the crystal-clear waters off Hydra.

Bimini, Grand Cayman & Mexico

Bask in the warmth of the tropical sun on a cruise to unforgettable ports like Grand Cayman, Cozumel, and Bimini. Admire the marine life at Grand Cayman’s Stingray City, or stroll the magnificent Seven Mile Beach. In Cozumel, snorkel among shoals of tropical fish over rainbow-colored corals, taste tequila, or take a day trip to the clifftop Mayan city of Tulum. Tiny Bimini is the place to unwind on pure white sands and swim in water that’s an almost unbelievable shade of turquoise.

The Galapagos

All-included August cruises to the Galapagos satisfy all kinds of travelers, from nature and animal lovers to adventure seekers. A certified naturalist will be your guide, and you’ll get deep knowledge of this exotic and enticing destination while on board. All of our Galapagos cruises come with guided excursions, gourmet food and drinks, and much more. Snorkel alongside sea turtles, board a Zodiac and spot blue-footed boobies, and end the day with a delectable meal.

Follow the routes of the stark, volcanic landscapes of Iceland, shaped by fire and ice. Bathe in the healing waters of the Blue Lagoon outside Reykjavik and join a trip from Akureyri to spot whales. Admire Iceland’s thundering waterfalls, creaking glaciers, and steaming geysers.

Sydney Shore Excursions

Amazing experiences coming soon., sorry, there are no excursions for this port at this moment., things to do in sydney.

Go in Circles

Sydney Harbour Bridge. Australia.

Circular Quay is the perfect place to start exploring Sydney. You can find the Opera House here and Harbour Bridge is within walking distance. Stride into one of the many walking and pub tours that leave from here. Just 20 minutes away, you can stretch your legs on the iconic Harbour Bridge walk, the first of its kind in the world.

People enjoying Manly beach in Sydney, Australia

Bondi Beach gets all the attention, but Manly Beach in the Northern Beaches is a bit more local. The Corso is lined with shops and restaurants, including local favourite, Hugo's. If surfing is your thing, this is the place to be. The walk from Spit Bridge to Manly is a fantastic way to soak in the city's coastline.

Walk Watsons

Hop on the ferry or one of the regular buses that go to Watsons Bay to enjoy the scenic hike around South Head. During your journey, you'll enjoy views of Sydney Harbour, North Head, the historic Hornby Lighthouse and, of course, the sapphire-blue Pacific Ocean. The Gap offers breathtaking views of the sea from the rocky cliffside.

Local Cuisine

With all the water surrounding you, it's no surprise that seafood takes centre stage on many plates in the city. Head to Sydney Fish Market for giant Sydney Rock oysters or classic fish and ships. Stop into a local pie shop for a traditional Australian meat pie, or explore Sydney's international side with udon or ramen noodles at a Japanese noodle bar, or seek out prawn dumplings in Chinatown.

There are plenty of shopping centres in the heart of the city, including Westfield Mall, Pitt Street Mall and the wonderful Queen Victoria Building, which is now a shopping centre featuring top designers. Seek out cutting boards made from local camphor laurel – they're not only beautiful but also have natural antimicrobial properties. During your Sydney cruise holiday, look for jewellery made from opal, the national gemstone of Australia.

We've also elevated the dining options with the introduction of Onda by Scarpetta, among other culinary delights.

August Cruises

The perfect way to end your summer

Make summer memories that will last a lifetime on an August cruise with Celebrity. Sail the glamorous coasts of Italy, France, and Spain, a feast of glorious architecture, exquisite art, and gelato in every shade of the rainbow. Or head for Greece for endless sandy beaches and breathtaking antiquities. Further north, take in the dramatic landscapes and cool cities of Iceland.

August is still a great time to cruise Alaska, with bears fishing for spawning salmon and opportunities for hiking, kayaking, and flightseeing over vast, creaking glaciers. If you’re in the mood for the warmth of the tropics, head to the blissful islands of The Bahamas, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel, surrounded by dazzling reefs. In August, you can also visit the Galapagos Islands, thrilling at any time of the year, for close encounters with the sea lions, iguanas, and giant tortoises that inhabit these wild, volcanic islands.

Itineraries

Featured august cruise destinations, italy, france & spain.

Enjoy a sun-drenched adventure to some of Europe’s most glamorous ports in August. Explore sleepy medieval hill villages in Provence, or wander through the winding lanes of the Cinque Terre fishing hamlets, spilling over impossibly steep cliffs. Marvel at the ruins of Pompeii and the extraordinary art treasures of the Vatican. Sample tapas in the sunshine in Palma, Mallorca’s elegant capital, and make time before or after your cruise to explore Barcelona’s wonderful art nouveau architecture.

On our August cruises to Alaska, choose from four thrilling itineraries and multiple sailing dates. Cruise from Seattle, Seward, or Vancouver and spend seven nights sailing through the rugged beauty of the last frontier. Go whale watching in the spectacular Kenai Fjords National Park. Ride an ATV in Icy Strait Point or fish for salmon in Sitka. Head to a private island for the chance to see brown bears and sea otters before dining on a local feast.

On a cruise to Greece, admire the graceful Parthenon in Athens and feast on seafood in Thessaloniki. Shop for island fashions in the whitewashed alleys of Mykonos Town, and soak up Santorini’s fiery sunsets. Travel back through time, from the archaeological site of Olympia, near Katakolon, to medieval Rhodes Town, and the elegant Venetian mansions lining Chania’s old harbor. Make time for the white sandy beaches of Zakynthos and swimming in the crystal-clear waters off Hydra.

Bimini, Grand Cayman & Mexico

Bask in the warmth of the tropical sun on a cruise to unforgettable ports like Grand Cayman, Cozumel, and Bimini. Admire the marine life at Grand Cayman’s Stingray City, or stroll the magnificent Seven Mile Beach. In Cozumel, snorkel among shoals of tropical fish over rainbow-colored corals, taste tequila, or take a day trip to the clifftop Mayan city of Tulum. Tiny Bimini is the place to unwind on pure white sands and swim in water that’s an almost unbelievable shade of turquoise.

The Galapagos

All-included August cruises to the Galapagos satisfy all kinds of travelers, from nature and animal lovers to adventure seekers. A certified naturalist will be your guide, and you’ll get deep knowledge of this exotic and enticing destination while on board. All of our Galapagos cruises come with guided excursions, gourmet food and drinks, and much more. Snorkel alongside sea turtles, board a Zodiac and spot blue-footed boobies, and end the day with a delectable meal.

Iceland & Ireland

Follow the routes of the stark, volcanic landscapes of Iceland, shaped by fire and ice. Bathe in the healing waters of the Blue Lagoon outside Reykjavik and join a trip from Akureyri to spot whales. Admire Iceland’s thundering waterfalls, creaking glaciers, and steaming geysers.
