In this episode of RTE-Travel Talk | Ask a Real Travel Expert, host Ken sits down with travel expert Christy Fitzharris of Wheels Up Travel & Cruise to compare three of the top cruise lines for exploring the Mediterranean: Regent Seven Seas, Explora Journeys, and Celebrity Cruises. Christy shares why the Mediterranean remains one of the world’s most sought-after cruise destinations and highlights what sets each line apart. From Regent’s seamless all-inclusive luxury, to Explora Journeys’ family-friendly luxury concept, to Celebrity Cruises’ versatile multi-generational appeal with The Retreat, viewers will discover the unique experiences each cruise line offers. We dive into itineraries that go beyond the classic Barcelona–Rome routes, touching ports in Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Tunisia, Greece, Turkey, and even Egypt with an overnight in Alexandria. You’ll learn about inclusions, cabin sizes, onboard experiences, pricing per night, and what travelers should consider when choosing between luxury and premium options. Christy also offers pro tips for multi-generational families, insights into kids’ programs on luxury ships, and her personal highlights sailing with each line—including her daughter’s love of Celebrity’s kids’ club (even more than Disney’s!). Whether you’re planning your first Mediterranean cruise or a return trip seeking new itineraries, this interview provides expert advice to help you find the perfect fit. 👉 Be sure to stick around until the end as Christy reveals her next adventures, including sailing on Disney’s newest ship, the Disney Destiny, and a group trip on the Nile with AmaWaterways.
