DAY 1- 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
DAY 2- Toulon, France
Often overlooked in favor of glitzier Riviera neighbors, Toulon reveals a more grounded and genuinely maritime face of southern France. France’s principal naval port, it balances working harbor energy with Provençal markets, sunlit squares, and easy access to the limestone beauty of nearby coves and hills. The city rewards those willing to look past first impressions, offering authenticity, sea air, and a distinctly local rhythm; one of those cruise stops that neatly combine scenic beauty, cultural depth, and the pleasure of lingering ashore.
DAY 3- Palamos, Spain
Palamos stands out for Spain’s sunlit coast, as well as the refined coastal charm that shapes the destination. A richer portrait emerges through medieval city charm and gorgeous beach, where landscape, culture, and history intersect in ways that make the place feel coherent, expressive, and inviting. It is easy to see why travelers remember the call so fondly: the destination reveals itself gracefully, offering both immediate beauty and subtler rewards with equal confidence, and it feels worthy of more than a passing glance.
DAY 4- 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. 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 5- Alicante, Spain
The bustling resort of Alicante serves not only as the port for Madrid, but is also one of the loveliest vacation spots along Spain’s sunny Costa Blanca. The port’s occupation by Roman and Moorish forces accounts for a notable and varied heritage. In fact, much of this cultural impact is still apparent today in numerous buildings, names and the cuisine, with Alicante cultural landmarks, Alicante Mediterranean cuisine, and Alicante historical sites adding further depth to the experience, giving the call a strong sense of place.
DAY 6- Valencia, Spain
Since then the city has been on a steady course of urban beautification. The lovely bridges that once spanned the Turia look equally graceful spanning a wandering municipal park, and the spectacularly futuristic Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias (City of Arts and Sciences), most of it designed by Valencia-born architect Santiago Calatrava, has at last created an exciting architectural link between this river town and the Mediterranean. If you’re in Valencia, an excursion to Albufera Nature Park is a worthwhile day trip.
DAY 7- Barcelona, Spain
Unfortunately this is where you will depart from your luxurious cruise and begin your journey.
