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

- Day2
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.

Livorno
Arrive 07:00 · Depart 20:00
A Tuscan port on the Ligurian Sea and the gateway to Florence and Pisa. Ships dock here for excursions to Renaissance galleries and the Leaning Tower, while Livorno itself is known for its canal district and a seafood stew called cacciucco.

- Day4
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.

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.

Barcelona
Arrive 09:00 · Depart 18:00
