Your Destinations —
The port of Civitavecchia is one of the largest in Italy, and it's easy to explore it's centre on foot. Amongst the most important monuments to visit are the Forte Michelangelo, built by Bramante in the 16th century, the ancient walls of the old port, where there is a fountain in travertine marble by Vanvitelli.
Palermo is the capital of the Italian island, Sicily, an island renowned as a vacation destination due to its great beauty and historical significance. Once an important Mediterranean centre, Palermo still displays the grandeur of its former greatness. Leave the ship in Palermo's port and journey back in time.
With an unsurpassed collection of original Baroque architecture, fortified city walls overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, and the spectacular Co-Cathedral of St John, which features intricately carved stone vaults and a famed painting by Caravaggio, it is no wonder that this smallest of European capital cities is a world heritage site.
Wander Barcelona's gothic old town, the Barrio Gótico, and explore the cathedral constructed in 1218 and other remnants of Barcelona’s past, including Roman remains. And certainly do not miss the sensational fountain light show of Montjuic, which first debuted in 1929; this is a magical spectacle that will enchant you.
Whether it's basking in the Mediterranean sunshine or being cooled by the famous Mistral wind France's second-largest city and the capital of the Provence-Côte d'Azur region, is always a fascinating place to visit and a wonderful place for a leisurely lunch.
Genoa is marvellously eclectic, vibrant and full of rough-edged style; it’s a great cruise excursion. Indeed “La Superba” (The Superb), as it was known at the height of its authority as a Mediterranean superpower, boasts more zest and intrigue than all the surrounding coastal resorts put together.
