Where this voyage takes you
Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
Barcelona
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.

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.

Genoa
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 19:00
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.
