## Itinerary

### Day 1: Civitavecchia (Rome)
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM

When you embark on a cruise to Rome with Holland America Line you experience its bustling modernism along with its rich history. You can walk in the footsteps of emperors, have coffee in Renaissance piazzas and see contemporary art all in one afternoon. Your sightseeing time in Rome begins at the nearby port of Civitavecchia, a seaside town with roots that stretch back to the Etruscan era. Take note of the Forte Michelangelo (both Bramante and Michelangelo had a hand in its design), and the lung...

### Day 2: Portofino
**Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM

### Day 3: Ajaccio
**Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM

Most famous as the birthplace of a diminutive, strong-willed local who went on to become known simply as Napoleon, the port of Ajaccio is Corsicaâs small, walkable capital. The roots of this city on the islandâs western coast are said to go back to another strong man, the Greek hero Ajax.

Only 200 miles from its parent France, you might as well be in another country on Corsica, where everything from the food to the language is unique. Anchored by a magnificent citadel and a fine Baroque c...

### Day 4: Marseille (Provence)
**Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM

Marseille, in the south of France, has more spice, grit and edge than the ProvenÃ§al towns that surround it. A trade city since the time of ancient Greece, the port always seems to be on the brink of change, generating a certain energy thatâs hard to find in the timeless and traditional countryside. In fact, sometimes it doesn't seem very French at all.

Thanks to a multicultural population, the culinary scene (with seafood dishes and Michelin-starred restaurants galore) goes beyond the clas...

### Day 5: At Sea
Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities.

### Day 6: Gibraltar
**Arrives:** 12:00 PM · **Departs:** 07:00 PM

This strategic link between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean has been ruled by the Spanish, British and Moors. As long as the Barbary Apes remain, the British will rule Gibraltar this is the tradition that has held for 350 years. These pesky primates are a favorite with visitors despite their incessant chatter and light-fingered ways. Ride to the top of the Rock for great views over the Strait of Gibraltar-on a clear day you'll see Africa.



### Day 7: At Sea
Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities.

### Day 8: Barcelona
**Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

On the northeast coast of Spain, overlooking the Mediterranean, Barcelona is a vibrant port city, packed with centuries of iconic art and architectureâGaudÃ­ and Picasso both called it homeâand lined with sunny white-sand beaches. Explore the Catalan capital's tourist attractions and historic neighborhoods, Modernisme and world-renowned art museums, galleries and local crafts shopsâsome of which are centuries old and stock traditional Catalan wares. After you see the sights, there are live...
