| Monday-Tuesday,
April 18-19 - Board Ship in Barcelona, Spain - Ship sails
on April 19 |
|
 |
Barcelona is considered to be a genuine open-air museum filled with charming streets and the hustle and bustle of everyday life. While away the day exploring treeshaded Las Ramblas, Spain’s version of the Champs-Elysees, shop for exquisite Lladro ceramics, or ponder the other-worldly architecture of the Church of the Sacred Family, Gaudi’s masterpiece. This is a sight not to be missed. It was started in 1882, but is still unfinished. Take a short ride to Figueres to enjoy the Dali Museum or to Sant Sadurni d’Anoia, location of the Codorniu Champagne Cellars. Tour the Gothic Quarter and Santa Maria dei Mar Church, considered by many to be the best example of Gothic architecture in Cataluna. Then visit the Picasso Museum, situated in the two beautifully preserved Gothic palaces of Berenguer Aguilar and Baron de Castellet |
|
|
| Wednesday, April 20 - Monte Carlo, Monaco |

Sample shore excursions: A Taste of the Riviera; Panoramic Riviera; Jewels of the Cote d’Azur: Nice, Eze, and Monaco; Stars of the Cote d’Azur: Cannes, Grasse, St. Paul de Vence; and St. Paul de Vence and Scenic Drive. |
|
|

|
 |
| In Florence, view timeless treasures: the lofty Duomo, Giotto’s bell tower, Michelangelo’s David, the Uffizi Gallery, and Ponte Vecchio over the Arno. See the famous Tower of Pisa still standing crookedly after 650 years. Sample shore excursions are Tuscan Countryside and Wine Tasting; Tuscan Landmarks: Florence and Pisa; and Lucca and Pisa. |
|
 |
|
|
|
| Friday, April 22 - Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy |
|
 |
Take in a little of the marvelous history of Rome. Plan your time here carefully, as the Eternal City’s sights are endless: the Colosseum, the Forum, the Sistine Chapel, the Vatican, Venice Square, Trajan Markets, Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, and so much more. Countless museums and art galleries are also to be found. Additionally, some of Italy’s finest shopping incorporates entire streets: Via Nazionale, Via del Corso, Via Frattina, Piazza di Spagna, and Via del Tritone. |
|
|
| Saturday, April 23 - Messina, Sicily, Italy |
|
 |
“Italy and Sicily couldn’t agree, so Italy kicked Sicily into the sea.” This age-old Italian children’s rhyme comes into its own when you sail the Strait of Messina between the two and see how close the island is to the “toe” of Italy’s boot. From one to the other it seems like barely shouting distance. Messina’s astrological clock is as much a man-made masterpiece as the road leading to Taormina, which cantilevers out of the rocky cliff face and stands on impossibly tall pylons. Leave it to the Italians to design a road that’s both a thrill-ride and a feat of engineering! Once you’re safely in Taormina, walk to the sublime Greco-Roman theatre that overlooks Naxos Bay and snow-capped Mt. Etna. Then spend some time on the Corso Umberto with a gelato firmly in hand. |
|
|
Sunday, April 24 - At Sea
Monday, April 25 - Nafplion, Greece |
|
 |
Navplion is one of the most beautiful towns in Greece. Two mountains toped by medieval fortresses overlook the town and another fortress, Bourtzi, watches over the harbor. Tour Greece’s most prized ruins: the Ascelpion in Epidaurus, sanctuary of the god of healing; the Grand Palace at Mycenae, once King Agamemnon’s domain; Athens and its stupendous Acropolis. Visit a local cafe, observe the beautiful old buildings, or hit the beach. |
|
|
| Tuesday, April 26 - Katakolon (Olympia), Greece |
|
 |
Katakolon is a small port on the Ionian Sea coast of the Peloponnese Peninsula, close to Pyrgos. While Katakolon’s main street is just a five-minute walk from the pier, you will probably want to venture farther out to see the ancient site of
Olympia, the storied place where the Olympic Games originated in 776 BC. A look at the impressive monuments, including the Temple of Zeus, the Temple of Hera, and the famous stadium, along with a visit to the nearby Archaeological Museum, offers a fascinating introduction to the Games and ancient mythology. Back in town stroll the oceanfront walkway, relax over ouzo in an open-air café, or engage in a friendly round of haggling for jewelry and handcrafts, a modern-day sporting event that enjoys widespread popularity. |
|
|
| Wednesday, April 27 - Kerkira (Corfu), Greece |
|
 |
Head out into Corfu’s lush and verdant countryside of olive, orange, and lemon trees. Visit Achillion, the mansion built by the Empress Elisabeth of Austria and later owned by Kaiser Wilhelm II. Its beautiful gardens and statues have been
left intact for visitors to admire. Get behind the wheel of a fourwheel-drive vehicle and drive along the main coastal route and up a small country road through olive groves leading into one of the oldest villages of Corfu, Sokraki. Stretch your legs by taking a walk through the narrow winding streets of the village and enjoy a meze (traditional light snack) with a glass of local wine. Set off again along a country lane to admire the beautiful panoramic view of the island as well as the magnificent view of the Old Town of Corfu. |
|
|
| Thursday, April 28 - Dubrovnik, Croatia |
|
 |
The massive city walls of Dubrovnik enclose an enchanting World Heritage site: tall medieval houses and marble-paved squares, meticulously repaired since the 1991 shelling. Korcula, birthplace of Marco Polo, follows suit with palaces from the Middle Ages. Enter the 13th-century city via the Pile Gate. One of the main attractions in this timeless part of Dalmatia is the Sponza Palace. Its elegant courtyard and elaborate stone carvings are truly impressive. See the ominican church and monastery with its rich treasures, the Rectors Palace, the Church of St. Blaise, and the cloister of the 14th-century Franciscan monastery. Medieval ramparts encircle the city and the stone bridge is guarded by
the city’s patron saint, Blaise. Explore the spectacular Adriatic coast, visit scenic vineyards, sample world class wines, and purchase |
|
|
| Friday-Saturday, April 29-30 - Venice, Italy - Overnight - Disembark Saturday, April 30 |
|
 |
The “City of Light” stretches across an archipelago of 122 islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea
in northeast Italy and is world-famous for its canals, of which there are about 150. The islands on which the city is built
are connected by about 400 bridges. The canals serve the function of roads and the primary form of transport is on water or on foot. Venice is Europe’s largest urban car-free area, unique in Europe in remaining a sizable functioning city in the 21st century entirely without motorcars or trucks. The classical Venetian boat is of course the gondola, although it is now mostly used for tourists or for weddings, funerals, and other ceremonies. Most Venetians now travel by motorized waterbuses (“vaporetti”). St. Mark’s Square is Venice’s heart with palatial arcades and charming cafés. Tour the exquisite Doge’s Palace, once home to the dukes of Venice. Ply the canals in a gondola, shop for exquisite Venetian glass, or sip a bicerin at timeless Caffé Florian. |
