Cruise Itinerary
Day 1
Civitavecchia
Perched on the shores of the Tyrrhenian Sea, Civitavecchia boasts a storied past intertwined with maritime adventures. As the gateway to Rome, its harbor has welcomed seafarers for centuries, echoing with tales of ancient civilizations and grand conquests. The Mediterranean climate blesses visitors with balmy breezes and sun-drenched days, creating an idyllic atmosphere for exploration. Away from the bustling metropolis, Civitavecchia offers an authentic Italian experience, where cobblestone streets wind through charming piazzas and trattorias serve up delectable seafood caught fresh from the sea. Don't miss the chance to stroll along the historic harbor walls, built to protect against marauding pirates centuries ago.
Day 2
Livorno
Nestled along the picturesque Tuscan coast, Livorno beckons with a maritime legacy steeped in seafaring lore. Its storied past as a bustling port city evokes a sense of adventure and discovery. Bask in the Mediterranean climate, where gentle sea breezes mingle with the aroma of freshly caught seafood. Unlike bustling tourist hubs, Livorno offers an authentic glimpse into Italian coastal life, away from the crowds. Explore the vibrant Mercato Centrale, a bustling market brimming with local flavors and treasures. As the gateway to Tuscany's timeless wonders, Livorno serves as the perfect launchpad for exploring the region's captivating landscapes and culinary delights.
Day 3
Naples
Naples Cruise Port, steeped in the lore of ancient empires and vibrant Italian culture, welcomes travelers with a history dating back to the Greeks and Romans. The Mediterranean climate blesses visitors with sun-drenched days and balmy evenings, perfect for exploring the city's narrow alleys and bustling piazzas. Away from the tourist traps, Naples offers an authentic taste of Italy, where locals gather at family-run trattorias and bustling markets brim with fresh produce and aromatic spices. As the birthplace of pizza, Naples tantalizes the taste buds with its mouthwatering Neapolitan pies, crafted using centuries-old techniques.
Day 4
Messina
Nestled on the northeastern coast of Sicily, the Cruise Port of Messina beckons with a rich tapestry of history and culture. Here, amidst ancient ruins and medieval landmarks, tales of conquests and triumphs echo through the cobblestone streets. The climate, kissed by the Mediterranean sun, creates a pleasant ambiance year-round, inviting travelers to explore its scenic beauty. Away from bustling crowds, visitors can savor authentic Sicilian cuisine in quaint trattorias and sip local wines in charming cafes. A unique experience awaits as the port boasts stunning views of Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano, painting the skyline with fiery sunsets.
Day 5
At Sea
Day 6
Ibiza
Hedonistic and historic, Eivissa (Ibiza, in Castilian) is a city jam-packed with cafés, nightspots, and trendy shops; looming over it are the massive stone walls of Dalt Vila —the medieval city declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1999—and its Gothic cathedral. Squeezed between the north walls of the old city and the harbor is Sa Penya, a long labyrinth of stone-paved streets that offer some of the city's best offbeat shopping, snacking, and exploring. The tourist information office on Vara de Rey has a useful map of walks through the old city.</p>
Day 7
Barcelona
Nestled along the bustling waterfront of Barcelona lies the iconic World Trade Center, a hub of commerce and culture with a storied past. Against the backdrop of the Mediterranean, this architectural gem stands as a testament to Catalonia's maritime legacy. Blessed with a Mediterranean climate, the region offers warm summers and mild winters, providing an idyllic setting for leisurely exploration. Here, cruisegoers can escape the tourist crowds and immerse themselves in the authentic rhythms of Catalan life. From vibrant markets to quaint cafes, the World Trade Center Barcelona serves as a gateway to the genuine essence of this captivating region.
Day 8
Cartagena
Day 9
Málaga
As you sail into Malaga you will notice what an idyllic setting the city enjoys on the famous Costa del Sol. To the east of this provincial capital, the coast along the region of La Axarqua is scattered with villages, farmland and sleepy fishing hamlets - the epitome of traditional rural Spain. To the west stretches a continuous city where the razzmatazz and bustle creates a colourful contrast that is easily recognisable as the Costa del Sol. Surrounding the region, the Penibéetica Mountains provide an attractive backdrop overlooking the lower terraced slopes which yield olives and almonds. This spectacular mountain chain shelters the province from cold northerly winds, giving it a reputation as a therapeutic and exotic place in which to escape from cold northern climes. Malaga is also the gateway to many of Andalusia's enchanting historic villages, towns and cities.</p>
Day 10
Cádiz
Amidst the gentle lapping of waves lies the Port of Cadiz, a gateway to centuries of seafaring lore. Here, the salty breeze whispers tales of exploration and conquest, where ships once set sail for the New World. Cadiz's Mediterranean climate paints a picture of perpetual sunshine, inviting travelers to bask in its warmth year-round. Nestled along the Andalusian coastline, this port offers a glimpse into Spain's authentic charm, away from the crowded tourist hubs. As the oldest continuously inhabited city in Western Europe, Cadiz boasts a unique claim to fame: its historic center is built on a peninsula, making it one of the most ancient cities in Spain.
Day 11
Casablanca
We'll try not to mention a certain Hollywood film here, but Casablanca's history is as captivating as its cinematic counterpart. From its humble beginnings as a Berber settlement to its rise as a bustling port city under French rule, Casablanca has been shaped by centuries of cultural exchange and economic prosperity. Today, its modern skyline and vibrant culture reflect its status as Morocco's economic hub. As Humphrey Bogart famously said in the film, "Here's looking at you, kid." Oh. Damn.
Day 12
At Sea
Day 13
Lisbon
In the annals of maritime lore, Lisbon stands as a testament to resilience, having weathered centuries of conquest and exploration. Its labyrinthine streets whisper tales of Moorish conquests and Age of Discovery triumphs, each cobblestone a silent witness to the city's rich past. Beneath the warm Mediterranean sun, Lisbon exudes an undeniable charm, drawing travelers seeking an authentic escape from the beaten path. From its vibrant neighborhoods to its serene waterfront, Lisbon offers a glimpse into Portugal's soul, where fado music reverberates through alfresco cafes, and the aroma of freshly baked pastéis de nata fills the air, tempting even the most seasoned voyagers.
