Zadar, Croatia

 

Zadar, a city on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, is known for the Roman and Venetian ruins of its peninsular Old Town. There are several Venetian gates in the city walls. Surrounding the Roman-era Forum is 11th-century St. Mary’s Convent, with religious art dating to the 8th century. There’s also the grand, 12th-century St. Anastasia’s Cathedral and the round, 9th-century pre-Romanesque Church of St. Donatus.

 
Dubrovnik, Croatia

 

Welcome to Dubrovnik, the pearl of the Adriatic. Famous for its distinctive terracotta rooftops, gleaming limestone streets and medieval architecture, no trip to Croatia is complete without a visit to Dubrovnik. Walk along the city walls, take a cable car to Mount Srd for impeccable views or kayak to the turquoise waters of Lokrum Island.

 
At Sea

 

Your day at sea will allow you to take full advantage of everything the ship has to offer. Seek out hidden treasures and make the most of the facilities onboard. All of the ships activities can be found on the vessels daily newsletter. If relaxation is on your mind then your sea day will allow you to sit back, soak in ship life and watch the world as it floats by.

 
Valletta, Malta

 

Welcome to Valletta, the fortress city. This tiny city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, famed for its dusty Baroque buildings and mesmerising sea views. Shop for crafts and jewellery on Republic Street, explore the Upper and Lower Barrakka Gardens and uncover history at Parliament House and the ruins of the Royal Opera House.

 
At Sea

 

Enjoy a relaxing day at sea.

 
Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

 

Welcome to Civitavecchia! This lively port town is just 50 minutes from Rome, so you’re within easy reach of all the iconic sights of the Eternal City. If you’d prefer to stay in Civitavecchia, be sure to check out Forte Michelangelo, the former Jewish Ghetto, and the Trajan Theatre.

 

 
Livorno (Florence), Italy

 

Welcome to Livorno! This charming port town is your gateway to both Pisa and Florence, where you can discover iconic sights, including the Leaning Tower, Piazza Duomo, and Ponte Vecchio. In Livorno itself, we recommend discovering the Fortezza Nuova, walking along the lively port and sampling some fresh seafood.

 
Monte Carlo, Monaco

 

Welcome to Monte Carlo, the glitziest quartier of Monaco. A magnet for high rollers, a trip to Monaco provides an opportunity to live large for a day. Marvel at the superyachts glistening in the harbour, walk the Formula One circuit and try your luck at the legendary marble and gold Monte Carlo Casino.

 
Marseille, France

 

Welcome to Marseille, the oldest city in France! This seaside city, with its busy harbour and bright urban vibe, offers plenty to see and do. Watch the fisherman at Le Vieux Port, admire the Notre Dame de la Garde, discover the museums at Vieille Charite and wander the La Corniche walkway.
