Highlights of this cruise:
Barcelona
Barcelona is a city known for its world-renowned architecture, boasting monuments Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance in style while also captivating visitors with its incredible modern architecture. Don't forget dining, too. Barcelona is a feast for the eyes and the palate, alike. Sights to see: Gothic Quarter, La Rambla, Sagrada Familia Cathedral and Port Vell.
Marseilles
Located on the southeastern coast of France, this friendly city serves as a major port, providing France access to the Mediterranean Sea and vice versa. In the 1950s, Marseilles was the entrance point for many Algerian immigrants, which led to the rise of the city as a cosmopolitan society, lending cultural variety in the form of theater, food, art and music. Enjoy the beautiful architecture and city's natural beauty when you stride along Marseille's main street La Canabiere lined with cafes and attractive hotels, and don't miss Palais de Longchamp, Jardin des Vestiges, the 19th-century Notre-Dame de la Garde, Cathedrale de la Major, Le Panier and the heart of the city Vieux Port (Old Port).
Livorno
Livorno is your key to some of the most storied locations in Italy, including perennial favorite Pisa, and even Florence - the cradle of the Renaissance and truly a city of treasures. You'll find some of the world's greatest artworks from such masters as Leonardo da Vinci and Boticelli. But of all the masterpieces in this miraculous city on the Arno, the one you can't leave without seeing is, of course, Michelangelo's David. Sights to see: Ponte Vecchio, Statue of David, Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Rome
Promise to return to the Eternal City on your first Rome cruise. Italy's vibrant capital mixes ancient Roman monuments with Renaissance beauty. Pastel-colored Vespa scooters dart past 1000-year-old temples and well-heeled Romans browse boutiques in Renaissance buildings. The espresso is strong, the gelato is cold, and life is sweet in Rome, Italy. Raise a toast to la dolce vita-the good life, Italian-style-on your cruise to Rome.
Naples
Naples is one of the oldest cities in the world, and the surrounding area has, over thousands of years, contributed innovations to not only the culinary and visual arts, but the development of everything from language to music. Today, you'll immediately feel the friendly spirit of this sunny metropolis as you sample its historic sights, fabulous shopping galleria and irresistible cuisine. Mount Vesuvius, the spectacular Amalfi Coast, the buried ciy of Pompeii, and the romantic isle of Capri's famous Blue Grotto, are all just a short drive distance from the city.
Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik is bordered by centuries-old stone walls, once used for protection, but that today simply provide a unique feature for a city itself so incomparable. As a Middle Ages trading center, Dubrovnik was once actually a seaport rival to Venice. Today, its amazing history is reflected in its many monuments and museums. You'll find it exhilarating to explore the man-made treasures like Old Town and the city's famous wall, but don't miss the natural pleasures like Dubrovnik's nearby beaches.
Venice
No city in the world is as dazzlingly different as Venice, a seaport built on more than 100 islands. In this magnificent Renaissance realm of canals, bridges and merchants on the Adriatic, gondoliers stand up to sing while they row. Even the buses are boats! You'll never forget the thrill of your first magical moments in St. Mark's Square or being part of the never-ending aquatic parade along Venice's Grand Canal.
