Ships Itinerary Barcelona, Spain Sep 11 (Depart 6:00PM)/ 18 (Arrive 6:00AM) There's nothing quite like Barcelona. Especially if you consider the architecture. The city lays claim to its very own form of Art Nouveau, known as Modernisme. The Sagrada Familia Basilica is perhaps the best example of this beautiful and interesting brand of architecture, with its bold color, beautiful tile-work and swirling lines. At the same time, many find the work at the Picasso Museum and the cathedrals of the Gothic Quarter equally inspiring.
Nice (Villefranche), France Sep 12
This bustling little town on the coast of France has its own unique charm. Part of the Côte d'Azur Villefranche offers long sandy beaches, terrace cafés, and world-class cuisine, making it a great stop on your way to Monte Carlo, Nice, or Cannes.
Genoa, Italy Sep 13
This is easily one of the busiest harbors in Europe and your point of embarkation for Christopher Columbus' home city. The city is bordered on one side by the ocean, and on the other by mountains. In the lower city, you will be sure to find cobblestone streets, quiet nooks interlaced in alleyways and unique shopping opportunities. Florence/Pisa(Livorno), Italy Sep 14
Occupying both banks of the Arno River and situated at the foot of the Apennine Mountains, is Florence. Founded by Julius Caesar himself, Florence is known as the birthplace of the Renaissance. History and art shake hands in this picturesque land where masterpieces like Michelangelo's David can be seen in the city's many museums, churches and galleries. Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy Sep 15
Once the center of the ancient world from which emperors ruled over nearly all of western civilization for hundreds of years, Rome is still considered by many to reign over all other European destinations. Here you can breathe the air once breathed by great Roman gladiators in the ancient halls of the Colosseum. Gaze upon the very ceilings Michelangelo painted at the Sistine Chapel. Or visit a monument to both size and faith, St. Peter's Basilica, the largest church ever built. Naples/Capri, Italy Sep 16
Located on the southern coast of Italy, Naples has spectacular scenery that attracts artists from around the world. From this key spot, you can embark on a trip to the ruins of Pompeii or shop the many boutiques of Sorrento. You may work up an appetite for one of Naples' greatest inventions - pizza - invented to honor the Queen of Italy in 1889.
