Highlights of this cruise:

Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy
A renaissance fort guards the harbor of Civitavecchia, gateway to Rome -- one of the world's greatest cities. From its inception in 753 B.C. to the days of its decline, Rome has been the focal point for many of the world's greatest artists, architects, rulers and philosophers.

Sorrento
Perched above the blue Tyrrhenian Sea, Sorrento has been a destination for travelers and pleasure seekers since the days of the Roman Empire. To the north stand the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii, buried in 79 A.D. by an eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. To the south lies the fabled Amalfi Coast and the fishing village of Positano. Offshore, the romantic island of Capri awaits. And then there is Sorrento itself. Stroll through village streets lined with flowers or visit the imposing Duomo and its 13th-century cloister. Cafes and boutiques abound to charm the most experienced traveler.

In addition to its considerable charms, Sorrento is a gateway to the wonders of Capri, the ruins of Pompeii and the beauties of the Amalfi Coast.

Florence/Pisa (Livorno), Italy
More than any other place, Florence and its landmarks symbolize the wealth and power of the Renaissance's golden age. Few structures anywhere rival the beauty of the Duomo, the grand Cathedral of Florence with a dome that dominates the cityscapes. It's a city home to masterpieces by Da Vinci, Michaelangelo, Raphael and the glow of that storied era still resonates through the architecture, the bustling piazzas and charming neighborhoods.

Sete
Referred to by locals as the "Venice of Languedoc," Scte is a small artists' commune in southern France known for its romantic canals and charming atmosphere.

Archaeological evidence points to human presence in the region as far back as the Bronze Age, although Scte did not experience major growth until the second half of the 17th century, when King Louis XIV urged on the construction of the sea port. The digging of the Canal du Midi was to follow, an immense undertaking that would eventually enhance the region's economy.

Although Scte was attacked by the British in the early 18th century and was nearly demolished as the Allies defended it at the conclusion of World War II, the city prevailed and serves today as a beautiful Mediterranean resort, as well as your gateway to the medieval city of Montpellier and the awe-inspiring, fairy tale castle of Carcassonne.

Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona, the capital and cultural hub of Spain's Catalonia region, and the port that Columbus set sail from for the Americas, is an exciting, energetic and cosmopolitan city that is rich in history, culture and the arts.
