Cruise overview
Enjoy Italy, southern France, and Spain at an unhurried pace in exclusive off-season coastal haunts of reclusive celebrities, savvy travelers, and approachable locals. Stretch your overnight port stay at Livorno into an indulgent exploration of uncrowded iconic landmarks, intimate cafes, and inviting artisan shops in Florence, Pisa, Siena, and San Gimignano. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy quiet moments with unobstructed views of artistic works by Renaissance masters. Discover Genoa’s rich maritime heritage, stunning architecture, and convenient location to Milan. Take in the expansive city views from Barcelona’s iconic Montjuic Hill and stroll the imposing Gothic Quarter with its cavernous cathedral and Sant Maria del Mar Basilica. Take advantage of a two-day port stay in the Catalonian capital to browse shops on La Ramblas, ponder the vibrant local art scene, and graze the ample culinary opportunities for tasty tapas, seafood paella, decadent sangrias, and savory jamon hams.Looking for more?
