Highlights of this cruise sector:

Dubai
Dubai is actually two cities in one: the Khor Dubai, an inlet of the Persian Gulf, separates Deira, the old city, from Bur Dubai. Dubai is a place of fascinating contrasts, a distinctive blend of East and West, of old and new. You can venture across vast dunes, climb rugged mountains, play on sandy beaches, explore dusty villages and shop in an ultra-modern mall - all in the same day. Since earliest times, Dubai has been known as "the city of merchants", welcoming traders from distant lands with a tradition of courtesy and hospitality that still lives on today.

Rome
From the port of Civitavecchia, it is but a short drive to Rome and the legends of the ages: the Vatican and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Catacombs. But no matter how many times you've been in Rome, you'll still want to stroll down the Via Veneto or sip cappuccino in the Piazza di Spagna. Italy's "Eternal City" is eternally fascinating. And don't forget to throw a few coins in the Trevi Fountain!

Lisbon
Portugal's capital spreads its ancient sites on seven hills overlooking the Tagus River. Atop the highest hill, St. George's Castle overlooks the city. Balconies ablaze with geraniums and wrought iron lamps light up the medieval Alfama quarter. Sorrowful fados ring out from cafés in the Alto and shoppers browse in the affluent Chiado district. A short drive away, deposed royalty once lived out their days in the opulent palaces of Estoril and Sintra.

Southampton
The United Kingdom's premier passenger ship port, Southampton was home to the great transatlantic liners of yesteryear. The port serves as your gateway to Southern England's magnificent historic sites, national landmarks, charming villages as well as the great metropolis of London. It is an ideal starting or ending point for a memorable voyage.
