Day 1 - Saturday - Feb 22, 2025

Barcelona, Spain

Embark your ship and settle into your stateroom. The vibrant city of Barcelona, with its lively culture and inviting outdoor spaces, preserves a rich history. Picturesque medieval lanes wind through the oldest part of the city, the Gothic Quarter, where remnants of the city's Roman wall were uncovered. Its treasures include the Neo-Gothic Barcelona Cathedral, the medieval Jewish district of El Call, and the Romanesque Church of Santa Maria del Pi. In the evenings, diners relax in the Royal Plaza at restaurants along the elegant square's perimeter.

Day 2 - Sunday - Feb 23, 2025

Marseille, France

Marseille is rich in historic treasures, nestled between the Mediterranean and rocky hills of limestone. Two 17th-century fortresses dominate the charming Vieux-Port, or Old Port, the natural harbor that hosts all manner of watercraft, from sleek elegant yachts to old style fishing vessels. Its picturesque quay is one of the world's most romantic walks, lined with dozens of cafes and shops. Also worth exploring is the city center, graced by La Canebiere boulevard. Linger in a cafe and sample the city's signature bouillabaisse made from freshly caught fish.

Day 3 - Monday - Feb 24, 2025

Ajaccio, France

From medieval walled towns to idyllic seaside villages, Corsica is a traveler's paradise. The island's capital Ajaccio is the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte. France's great emperor is immortalized in the city's several monuments to its hero, including his ancestral home and a striking bronze statue at Place de Gaulle. The city also boasts elegant Belle Epoque houses and an atmospheric Old Town. Corsica's long ties to Italy have infused it with many Italian nuances-Tuscan-like beauty, rustic farm cuisine, and viniculture among them-but the island remains truly French.

Day 4 - Tuesday - Feb 25, 2025

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

For centuries, Rome ruled much of Europe. More than 2,500 years of history live in the city's streets. Ancient structures recall those heady days when the cheers of 80,000 spectators roared from the Colosseum, citizens mingled in the Forum, and senators asked the gods for guidance at the Pantheon. Along with the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica, this rich pocket of Italy is one of the world's greatest repositories of history and civilization.

Day 5 - Wednesday - Feb 26, 2025

Cruising the Mediterranean Sea

Sail the ocean stage on which civilizations have risen and fallen, where empires ventured forth in their great armadas to control these strategic waters. Enjoy the amenities of your ship as you sail. Perhaps take a breath of fresh air on a brisk walk around the Promenade or begin your day with a workout in the well-equipped Fitness Center.

Day 6 - Thursday - Feb 27, 2025

Valletta, Malta

The Island of Malta has been shaped by countless civilizations. But it was the Knights of St. John who built Valletta. This Baroque wonder, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is one of Europe's first cities planned and constructed from scratch, cut from local honey-colored limestone. The humble facades of its churches and palaces hide extravagant interiors of marble, tapestries, and paintings. A stroll around the massive walls and bastions affords a striking bird's-eye view of the cityscape and the spectacular Grand Harbor.

Day 7 - Friday - Feb 28, 2025

Valletta, Malta

Valletta's green space is at a premium in this tiny city. The Upper Barrakka Gardens, created in 1661 upon the St. Peter & Paul Bastion, are perched at the highest point of the city walls. The Knights of Malta once escaped the demands of court in this splendid and shady haven; its terraces offer sweeping views of the Grand Harbor and medieval warrens below. The centerpiece is a pair of arched walls surrounding a tranquil stone courtyard. Among the garden's palm-lined lanes is a memorial to Winston Churchill.

Day 8 - Saturday - Mar 1, 2025

La Goulette, Tunisia

Tunis is a vibrant mix of North African tradition and French influences. The modern city revolves around Avenue Habib Bourguiba, affectionately called the "Champs-Elysees" for its colonial buildings, shops, and cafes. A drive along this lively tree-lined boulevard and a walk through the passageways of the city's souks reveal contrasting views of ancient and modern Tunisia. The nearby ancient city of Carthage was the capital of the Carthaginian Republic, a powerhouse in the Mediterranean for centuries. A stroll around this UNESCO World Heritage Site opens a window to antiquity.

Day 9 - Sunday - Mar 2, 2025

Cruising the Mediterranean Sea

Follow in the footsteps of great armadas that once sailed these waters. Historically, empires knew that to control this sea provided a strategic advantage in controlling the surrounding regions. As you sail, take advantage of the array of delicious cuisine offered onboard. You may visit Mamsen's, a casual gourmet deli, anytime from early morning to late at night for a taste of traditional Norwegian fare. Or, dine at Manfredi's and savor an authentic Italian meal, with options ranging from Milanese risotto to Tuscany-inspired classics.

Day 10 - Monday - Mar 3, 2025

Algiers, Algeria

Known for its white buildings gleaming on the Mediterranean, Algiers is a heady mix of ancient and modern. Today's bustling city hugs the shore and boasts many gracious French accents from colonial days such as the Algiers Central Post Office and generous wide boulevards and gardens. Districts from the city's pre-colonial Ottoman past rise from the coast upon the slopes of the hillsides beyond. The city's pinnacle of historic splendor, Algiers's casbah, crowns this hilltop. Its maze of stone warrens offers an ideal setting in which to pause for mint tea and kebabs.

Day 11 - Tuesday - Mar 4, 2025

Cruising the Strait of Gibraltar

Sail the gateway between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Its defining landmark, the soaring Rock of Gibraltar, was one of the Pillars of Hercules of ancient myth. As you sail, explore the well-curated Library, tucked in a private alcove of the Living Room, and select from a broad range of titles. Read a book by the Main Pool, a calming oasis in any weather with its retractable roof, allowing for year-round swimming.

Day 12 - Wednesday - Mar 5, 2025

Casablanca, Morocco

Casablanca lures visitors with its heady mix of neo-Moorish splendor and French influence. Known as "Casa" to locals, its streets exude an atmosphere of bygone days. Made famous by the 1942 eponymous film, today it is one of Africa's most important ports. Parisian-style boulevards unfold past cafes and colonial buildings. The city's medina is a maze of warrens pulsing with old-world energy, the hollers of carpet merchants, and the fragrance of incense. The most impressive structure is the Hassan II Mosque, the country's largest and most magnificent.

Day 13 - Thursday - Mar 6, 2025

Cadiz (Seville), Spain

Cadiz lies on the coast of Spain's breathtaking province of Andalusia and it gained incredible wealth during the 18th century; riches from the Americas were unloaded here after the Guadalquivir River to Seville silted up. This scenic southern region is home to matadors and world-class equestrian art. Seville, city of polyamorous suitor Don Juan, boasts plenty of its own glories. Its grand cathedral, Alcazar Palace, and Tower of Gold were built from the coffers of Spanish kings, but its fiery flamenco defines its true spirit. It is best to ponder it all while sipping sherry at a bodega.

Day 14 - Friday - Mar 7, 2025

Malaga, Spain

Granada is a splendid canvas of Moorish architecture, rich Andalusian tradition and remarkable history. It was the last stronghold of the Moorish Nasrid dynasty, whose 250-year reign ended during the 1492 reconquest of Spain by Catholic monarchs. The grand Granada Cathedral is a soaring celebration of that victory; its Royal Chapel holds the tombs of Queen Isabel and King Ferdinand, the celebrated pair who oversaw the triumph. Their magnificent fortress-palace, the Alhambra, was long the stronghold of Moors, and so offers a magnificent blend of Islamic and Christian detail.

Day 15 - Saturday - Mar 8, 2025

Cruising the Balearic Sea

Traverse the warm waters that envelop the Spanish isles of Mallorca, Minorca, Cabrera, Ibiza, and Formentera. As you sail today, savor a range of international cuisine onboard. Choose from variety of international flavors at the World Cafe, enjoy al fresco dining on the Aquavit Terrace, or regional specialties in The Restaurant.

Day 16 - Sunday - Mar 9, 2025

Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona is steeped in history, with stunning architecture and a rich culture. Mediterranean breezes grace the shore and Catalonia's capital is a feast for the senses. Long strolls on wide boulevards-such as Las Ramblas, the mile-long leafy pedestrian way, and the Passeig de Gracia, lined with some of Europe's most elegant buildings-set the tone for a city that moves to its own tempo. Native son and famed architect Antoni Gaudi adorned his city with whimsy, whether along fantastical city blocks or with his colossal masterpiece, the towering La Sagrada Familia cathedral. After breakfast, disembark your ship and journey home.
