Where this voyage takes you
Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
Barcelona
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
- Day2
Palma de Mallorca
The capital of Mallorca in Spain's Balearic Islands, set around a wide bay. Its enormous seafront cathedral, La Seu, rises above the old town's narrow lanes, with a hilltop castle, marina and nearby coves a short way from the cruise terminal.

- Bellver Castle
- Old town
- Day3At sea
- Day4
Ajaccio
The capital of Corsica and Napoleon's birthplace, set on a sheltered gulf on the island's west coast. Ajaccio is known for its Bonaparte family house, the citadel and old town, and the rugged Sanguinaires islands off the harbour mouth.

- Day5At sea
- Day6
Messina
A Sicilian port on the strait that separates the island from mainland Italy, framed by the Peloritani mountains. Its harbour clock tower performs an elaborate noon display, and the town is a common gateway to Taormina and the slopes of Mount Etna.

- Day7
Salerno
An Italian port at the head of its own gulf, just south of the Amalfi Coast. Its long seafront and walkable medieval centre make it a quieter base for reaching Pompeii, Paestum's Greek temples and the cliffside towns of Amalfi and Positano.
- Amalfi Coast gateway
- Paestum temples
- Seafront promenade
- Day8
Civitavecchia-Rome
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.
