Where this voyage takes you
Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
Venice
Depart 19:00
A city built across more than a hundred islands in a lagoon on the Adriatic, threaded by canals instead of streets. Venice is known for St. Mark's Basilica and its piazza, the Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge, and the glass workshops of Murano nearby.

- Grand Canal
- Rialto Bridge

- Day3
Corfu
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 18:00
An Ionian island off Greece's northwest coast, greener and more Venetian-feeling than the Aegean isles. Ships call at its old town, a UNESCO-listed warren of Italianate streets between two hilltop fortresses, with pebbly coves around the shore.
- Old Fortress
- Liston arcade
- Ionian coves
- Day4At sea
- Day5
Civitavecchia
Arrive 07:00 · Depart 19:00
The deep-water port serving Rome, roughly 80 kilometres up the coast. Ships dock here for shore excursions to the Colosseum, the Vatican and the Roman Forum, while the town itself keeps a working harbour and a Michelangelo-designed fortress.

- Fort Michelangelo
- Vatican excursions
- Day6At sea
- Day7
Valencia
Arrive 07:00 · Depart 21:00
Spain's third city, on the Mediterranean coast where the old riverbed has become a long ribbon of parkland. It is the birthplace of paella, home to the silk-era Lonja trading hall and to Calatrava's white City of Arts and Sciences complex.
- City of Arts and Sciences
- La Lonja
- Paella
- Day8
Barcelona
Arrive 09:00 · Depart 18:00
Catalonia's seafront capital and one of the Mediterranean's busiest cruise homeports. Gaudí's Sagrada Família and Park Güell crown the city, while the tree-lined Ramblas and the Gothic Quarter's medieval lanes lie a short ride from the terminal.
- Sagrada Família
- La Rambla
- Gothic Quarter
- Day9
Marseille
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 17:00
France's oldest city and biggest Mediterranean port, set around the old harbour of the Vieux-Port. The hilltop basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde watches over the bay, with the Calanques inlets and bouillabaisse stalls a short way off.

- Notre-Dame de la Garde
- Calanques
- Day10
Genoa
Arrive 08:00
Italy's great maritime city, stacked up the Ligurian hills above one of the Mediterranean's busiest harbours. Its old town is a maze of tall, narrow caruggi, and it claims pesto and focaccia as local inventions; the Aquarium and Renaissance palaces of Via Garibaldi sit close to the port.
