DAY 1- Barcelona, Spain
Begin your cruise in beautiful Barcelona. The capital of Catalonia is a banquet for the senses, with its beguiling mix of ancient and modern architecture, tempting cafés and markets, and sun-drenched Mediterranean beaches. Modern art museums and chic shops call for attention, too. Barcelona’s vibe stays lively well into the night when you can linger over regional wine and cuisine at buzzing tapas bars.
DAY 2- Palamos, Spain
A destination where mountain monasteries, surreal art, and stunning beaches come together, Palamós is your gateway to the scenic beauty of the Costa Brava and the rich cultural heritage of Catalonia.
DAY 3- Palma de Mallorca, Spain
A rugged Mediterranean gem, arising out of the rich blue haze, Mallorca is a Spanish island of cuisine, culture, and sun-gorged beaches. Palma de Mallorca is the island’s dominating capital and a sand-colored mirage of glorious buildings and living history. Conquered and liberated countless times over the years, since its Bronze Age founding, the city is your gateway to ceaseless Mediterranean beauty, buzzy markets, and intense flavors. The splendid Royal Palace of La Almudaina fortress stands nearby, a left-behind Moorish footprint of square towers and Arabic archways that now serves as an official summer residence for the King of Spain.
DAY 4- Day at Sea
DAY 5- Sete, France
Surrounded by water, Sète is a Mediterranean fishing hub and a port rich in maritime heritage. Set on a lagoon beside the Mediterranean Sea, its streets are laced with canals, giving the town a distinctive charm, while the historic Canal du Midi reaches its final destination here.
DAY 6- Marseille, France
France’s sunniest and oldest city may not have the glamour of some of its Cote D’Azur neighbors, but what it lacks in glitz, it certainly makes up for in authenticity and cultural depth. Escape the hubbub of the city, to soak in the natural glory of Calanques National Park. Hike, kayak and sail your way through a treasure trove of limestone cliffs, dropping off to hidden beaches.
DAY 7- Monte Carlo, Monaco
Glitzy, glamorous, and unashamedly luxurious – live the high life in Monte Carlo. From the super-yachts jostling for position in the harbor to the lavish bars splashing out iced champagne, tiny Monaco’s only city is a high-rolling, decadent affair – and a gloriously indulgent, sun-soaked taste of the good life. Monaco may be the world’s second smallest country but Monte Carlo has a confidence, impact, and appeal that few can match. Before you leave, explore the storied fortress that protected this tiny state’s independence for so long.
DAY 8 & 9- Livorno, Italy
A historic port, and a beachy gateway to Tuscany, Livorno welcomes you ashore to explore this enchanted Italian region’s sun-soaked beauty, rich flavors, and world-renowned fine art. Stay in Livorno to explore ‘Piccolo Venezia’, or – Little Venice – a quarter of the town that’s laced with canals, little marble bridges, and plenty of tempting eateries. With its bustling market, fortresses, and iconic waterfront, there is plenty to keep you busy here, but most will be tempted to venture inland to explore more of Tuscany’s many charms and artistic wonders. Test your nose, as you breathe in the subtleties of Tuscany’s vineyard-draped scenery and visit wineries showcasing the best of the renowned flavors of the Bolgheri wine-growing area.
DAY 10- A summer escape for Rome’s historic elite, the stacked waterfront of Porto Santo Stefano is a secluded taste of idyllic southern Tuscany. The jaw-dropping yachts in the harbour highlight that Porto Santo Stefano has lost none of its luxurious charm. With beautiful beaches, rugged hiking trails, and stunning waterfront scenery, it continues to attract visitors seeking a peaceful and exclusive escape.
DAY 11- Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy
