Where this voyage takes you
Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
Civitavecchia
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
- Day2
Genoa
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 17:00
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.

- Genoa Aquarium
- Via Garibaldi palaces
- Day3
Marseille
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 19:00
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.

Barcelona
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 19:00
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.

Cádiz
Arrive 07:00 · Depart 17:00
One of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Western Europe, set on a narrow spit almost surrounded by the Atlantic in Spain's Andalusia. A gold-domed cathedral rises over the old town's tight lanes, sea walls and the long sands of La Caleta.

Casablanca
Arrive 06:00 · Depart 20:00
Morocco's largest city and main port on the Atlantic coast, a mix of art-deco boulevards and Moorish design. The vast Hassan II Mosque rises beside the ocean, and the imperial city of Marrakech lies inland by road or rail.

- Day8
Málaga
Arrive 12:00 · Depart 20:00
