BEAUTIFUL Bari, Italy! Castellana Caves & Polignano a Mare - Celestyal Journey DAY 5 VLOG

Join us on Day 5 of our Celestyal Journey Heavenly Greece, Croatia & Italy Cruise as we explore the beautiful port of Bari, Italy! 🇮🇹 We start our day with a delicious buffet breakfast in the Thalassa Restaurant onboard Celestyal Journey, before heading out on our Celestyal excursion to two stunning destinations, the Castellana Caves and the picturesque cliffside town of Polignano a Mare. Our first stop, the Castellana Caves, completely amazed us with their vast size and breathtaking formations, an absolute must-see on any Bari cruise excursion. Next, we visited Polignano a Mare, one of the most beautiful towns in southern Italy, where we enjoyed a guided tour and some free time to explore its charming streets and incredible sea views. Afterward, we returned to Bari and spent time exploring the city independently, including a visit to the Basilica of Saint Nicholas and tasting some traditional Italian pasta in the old town. Back onboard Celestyal Journey, we wrapped up the day with a specialty dining experience at the Smoked Olive Restaurant, followed by amazing live entertainment and cocktails with the incredible Celestyal crew.
