Monuments of the Mediterranean Cruise

Day 1 - Majorca

Arrive: Tue 20 April 2027 / Depart: Tue 20 April 2027 at 22:00

Beaches or bargains, the sea or sights. Palma has it all, together with enough sunshine and souvenirs to keep anyone happy. If you like beaches, cafes or simply lazing around in the sunshine, you'll love Palma, together with the nearby resorts of Palma Nova and Magaluf. Before you relax, though, make sure you visit Palma City itself to see the Moorish palace, the designer stores and the quaint shops and cobbled streets of the old city, behind the Gothic Cathedral. And for souvenirs, make a bee-line for Inca, the largest street market on the island which opens every Thursday.

Day 2 - At Sea

Day 3 - Cagliari

Arrive: Thu 22 April 2027 at 08:00 / Depart: Thu 22 April 2027 at 15:00

Sardinia’s elegant capital has managed to strike just the right balance between old and new. On the one hand you’ve got a jumble of cobbled streets and olde worlde architecture. On the other, chic boutiques and gourmet restaurants. It makes for a pretty enchanting combination we think you’ll agree.......

Day 4 - Naples, Italy

Arrive: Fri 23 April 2027 at 08:00 / Depart: Fri 23 April 2027 at 18:00

This is the most spectacular natural setting in Italy. With its beautiful bay overlooked by Mount Vesuvius, a sunny climate and lots to see, Naples is unmissable. A stroll through the narrow streets and hustle and bustle of the local markets that sell literally everything is an experience in itself in Naples. That's before you discover the memorable sights like the majolica-tiled cloister of the Church of Santa Chiara, the local craftsmen of San Gregorio Armeno who make the famous Neapolitan crèche figures, or the Galleria Umberto where designer shops sit amidst glorious architecture. Don't forget to take the chairlift up to Mount Vesuvius itself or the tour to Pompeii and the ancient ruins of Herculaneum. And why not take the short boat ride to the picturesque and exclusive island of Capri?

Day 5 - Rome

Arrive: Sat 24 April 2027 at 07:00 / Depart: Sat 24 April 2027 at 19:00

Your gateway to the Eternal City, Civitavecchia has served as Rome's seaport since the 13th century. The port has a long and venerable history. The emperor Trajan built a pleasure villa near the modern city, while Bernini and Michelangelo designed the harbor fortifications. Yet the Eternal City eternally beckons. The ancient capital of the Western World and the center of Christianity for nearly 2,000 years, Rome provides an inexhaustible feast. Visit the ruins of the Forum, view the splendors of the Sistine Chapel, or climb the Spanish Steps, once the heart of Rome's Bohemian Quarter. Rome has been a magnet luring the world's greatest artists, architects, and philosophers since the days of the Caesars.

Day 6 - Florence/Pisa

Arrive: Sun 25 April 2027 at 08:00 / Depart: Sun 25 April 2027 at 20:00

A charming town itself, La Spezia is also the gateway to the beautiful Le Cinque Terre region. At the centre of the most captivating coastal area of Italy called the Gulf of the Poets, La Spezia has the typical narrow streets and yellow, pink and orange buildings of old Italian towns. It is beyond the town, however, where the real beauty lies.

Day 7 - Ajaccio

Arrive: Mon 26 April 2027 at 08:00 / Depart: Mon 26 April 2027 at 20:00

Sitting amidst a varied landscape of mountains and beaches, the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte on the west coast of Corsica is a wonderful destination to explore. The breathtaking sight when you sail into Ajaccio, with the crystal blue waters contrasting with the green of the beautiful countryside, is just the introduction to Ajaccio. Boasting Corsican architecture as well as a famous military leader, the town features a fascinating blend of French and Italian influences.

Day 8 - Barcelona

Arrive: Tue 27 April 2027 at 08:00 / Depart: Tue 27 April 2027 at 20:00
