  Barcelona is situated on the North Eastern Mediterranean Coast of Spain only a 2 hour drive from the French Pyrenees. It is the capital of the Catalunya region in Spain and is the largest city on the Mediterranean. It is the heartbeat of this region which has its own culture, traditions and personality. It is home to 1.6 million people and covers over 100 sq miles.  How to get there Barcelona International Airport, now known as Josep Tarradellas Airport sits 12 km south west of the city center. It has two Terminals and has a wide list of connections to destinations throughout Europe and internationally with most of the main carriers having a presence there. The Renfe train runs every 30 minutes from the airport directly into the city center at Barcelona-Sans station. There is all a good airport bus service to the city which takes you to the Placa de Catalunya. As like all of Spain, Barcelona has excellent train connections to the rest of the country and thereby with the rest Europe.

Post Pandemic it is hoped this route will return. Celebrity Eclipse  The Eclipse is one of Celebrities Solstice class ships which is a class we were very familiar with having sailed on her sister ships Equnox, Reflection & Silhouette numerous times.  For this trip we were booked into a Aqua Class stateroom, again a class of room we had sampled before, so this gave us access to the Blu restaurant for Breakfast and dinner. We also had the other Aqua benefits such as access to the Persian Gardens and canopies in the room each day.  The Eclipse has 15 decks, carries approx 2850 passengers and 1000 crew.  As I have said we had cruised on Solstice class ships before s
