Overview
Cruise Itinerary
Day 1
Flight from UK / Monte-Carlo
Nestled on the sun-kissed shores of Monaco lies Monte Carlo, a city steeped in glamour and allure. Its illustrious history as a playground for the wealthy elite spans centuries, drawing visitors with its opulent casinos and legendary Grand Prix. Beneath its azure skies, Monte Carlo basks in a Mediterranean climate, offering respite from the ordinary with its vibrant ambiance and stunning coastal vistas. For those seeking an authentic experience, Monte Carlo unveils a world of sophistication and refinement, where luxury blends seamlessly with tradition. As dusk falls, the cityscape comes alive with glittering lights, casting an enchanting spell over all who visit.
Day 2
Portovenere
Nestled along the rugged Ligurian coast, Portovenere beckons with its maritime heritage, tracing back to ancient Roman times when it served as a strategic outpost. The Mediterranean climate here gifts warm summers and mild winters, inviting exploration year-round. Escape the tourist hustle and bustle, uncovering authentic experiences amidst cobblestone streets and pastel-hued buildings. Portovenere stands as a testament to Italy's coastal charm, boasting stunning views of the Gulf of Poets and the iconic Church of St. Peter perched atop sheer cliffs. Don't miss the hidden gem of Byron's Grotto, a sea cave celebrated by the famed poet Lord Byron for its ethereal beauty.
Day 3
Olbia
Amid the resorts of Sardinia's northeastern coast, Olbia, a town of about 60,000, is a lively little seaport and port of call for mainland ferries at the head of a long, wide bay.San SimplicioOlbia's little Catholic basilica, a short walk behind the main Corso Umberto and past the train station, is worth searching out if you have any spare time in Olbia. The simple granite structure dates from the 11th century, part of the great Pisan church-building program, using pillars and columns recycled from Roman buildings. The basilica has a bare, somewhat somber interior, its three naves separated by a series of arches.</p>
Day 4
At Sea
Day 5
Cannes
Cannes, famed for its opulent film festivals, welcomes travelers with a storied past steeped in glamour and luxury. Bask in the Mediterranean sunshine along its golden beaches, where celebrities once strolled and paparazzi snapped. The Mediterranean climate, with its mild winters and sun-drenched summers, offers a respite from harsher climates, inviting cruisegoers to savor alfresco dining and leisurely promenades. Beyond the glitz of the Croisette lies a vibrant city brimming with authentic French charm, from bustling markets to quaint cobblestone streets. Don't miss the chance to explore the iconic Le Suquet neighborhood, offering breathtaking views of the azure sea and the Lérins Islands.
Day 6
Sète
The fishing village of Sète serves as gateway to Montpellier, in the North. Other noteworthy destinations in this area include Carcassone, Aigues Mortes, the Abbaye de Fontfroide, and Pezenas. For a look at the real fisherman's life, however, stay right where you are. Sète is the Mediterranean's biggest fishing port. Canals winding through town make it fun to stroll around, and there are a number of good walking paths leading to the beach (about 30 minutes to the west). Although it's small and unspectacular, Plage de la Corniche has calm, pristine waters that are perfect for swimming. For a panoramic view of the area, climb Mont St-Clair or Les Pierres Blanches and pick a beach to settle down on.</p>
Day 7
Palamós
One of the best ways to arrive in Catalonia is by sea, especially via the Costa Brava. This coastline, also known as the Rugged or Wild Coast, stretches from Blanes to the French border. Its name aptly refers to the steep cliff of ancient twisted rocks, which runs its entire length and is bounded inland by the Catalan mountain ranges. The intensity of the coast’s colour, the ruggedness of the rocks and the scent of the plants all combine to add to its attraction. The history of this region is long and varied. Traces can be found of the advanced culture of the Iberians, Greeks, Romans, Visigoths and Arabs. With Wilfred I and the independence of Catalan countries, the Catalan dynasty was born. Later, in 1479, Catalonia became a part of unified Spain following the marriage of Isabel, Queen of Castile, and Fernando, King of Aragon. The port of Palamos, some 36 miles northeast of Barcelona, has been in existence for nearly 700 years thanks to its location on one of the deepest natural bays in the western Mediterranean. The town itself is the southernmost of a series of resorts popular with sun worshippers. For the most part, Palamos has managed to retain some of the charm of a fishing village. The port also serves as a gateway to such inland locations as Girona, the capital of the province. Art lovers may want to visit Figueras, famous for its bizarre Teatre-Museu Dali, the foremost of a series of sites associated with the eccentric surrealist artist, Salvador Dali. If you choose to stay in Palamos, you can enjoy the pleasant atmosphere of the town or spend some time at a nearby beach. The town has a long seagoing tradition and busy harbour. The fish auction, prompted by the arrival of the fishing boats, is a spectacle worth seeing. The Fishing Museum illustrates the history and the life of the families who live off the sea.</p>
Day 8
Barcelona / Flight back to UK
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.
