7 Feb '27Cruise overview
Luxuriate in the unhurried pace of the Riviera’s off-season and immerse yourself in the magic of Madrid. Docking in some of world’s most iconic coastal cities – Rome, Nice, Florence, and Barcelona – you’ll have the rare opportunity to explore landmarks such as the Roman Coliseum, the Piazzale Michelangelo and the Sagrada Familia unfettered by crowds, while enjoying quiet moments in intimate cafés, trendy eateries, artisan shops, and galleries tucked away on cobblestone streets. Traveling Comfort Class via high-speed train between Barcelona and Madrid, you’ll have two full days and four nights to take in the capital’s vibrant culture and rich history, with a gorgeous 5-star hotel as your home base. Exclusive experiences such as early entry to the renowned Prado Museum, a flamenco dinner show at Spain’s only Michelin-starred tablao restaurant, and daytrips including a visit to a 450-year-old winery in the beautiful Penedés region complete this unforgettable journey.
Itinerary
Civitavecchia
Italy’s vibrant capital lives in the present, but no other city on earth evokes its past so powerfully. For over 2,500 years, emperors, popes, artists, and common citizens have left their mark here. Archaeological remains from ancient Rome, art-stuffed churches, and the treasures of Vatican City vie for your attention, but Rome is also a wonderful place to practice the Italian-perfected il dolce far niente, the sweet art of idleness. Your most memorable experiences may include sitting at a caffè in the Campo de’ Fiori or strolling in a beguiling piazza.
