Mediterranean shores

L'Austral
24 Apr '27Cruise overview
Beneath the sun of the Western Mediterranean, fall under the spell of a journey on which every city will reveal the riches of its shores. In the Gulf of Lion, Sète charms with its lively canals and its authentic atmosphere, whereas vibrant and cosmopolitan Marseille mixes the energy of its historic districts with the splendour of its natural scenery. The Isle of Beauty (Corsica) reveals an ideal combination of majestic landscapes and bright beaches. The stone villages, the fragrances of the maquis and the turquoise sea form a backdrop that is at once wild and refined. Sardinia unfolds through Alghero, a fortified town, surrounded by cliffs and preserved shorelines. In the Balearic Islands archipelago, Palma de Mallorca rolls out the silhouette of its cathedral opposite the sea, its lively little streets and the sun-drenched softness of island life.
Itinerary
Barcelona
The infinite variety of street life, the nooks and crannies of the medieval Barri Gòtic, the ceramic tile and stained glass of Art Nouveau facades, the art and music, the throb of street life, the food (ah, the food!)—one way or another, Barcelona will find a way to get your full attention. The capital of Catalonia is a banquet for the senses, with its beguiling mix of ancient and modern architecture, tempting cafés and markets, and sun-drenched Mediterranean beaches. A stroll along La Rambla and through waterfront Barceloneta, as well as a tour of Gaudí’s majestic Sagrada Famíliaand his other unique creations, are part of a visit to Spain’s second-largest city. Modern art museums and chic shops call for attention, too. Barcelona’s vibe stays lively well into the night, when you can linger over regional wine and cuisine at buzzing tapas bars.
