## Itinerary

### Day 1: Barcelona
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 04:00 PM

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...

### Day 2: Marseille (Provence)
**Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 04:00 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 3: Livorno (Florence)
**Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 08:00 PM

Access to the best of Tuscany: Florence, with its magnificent art and architecture and elegant shopping; Pisa's Leaning Tower; and ancient Lucca. Sample shore excursions: Tuscan Countryside & Wine Tasting; Florence & the Academia.


### Day 4: Civitavecchia (Rome)
**Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 07:00 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 5: Naples (Pompeii)
**Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM

Rising behind the wide curve of its bay with brooding Mount Vesuvius and the deep blue sea as a backdrop, Naples, Italy enjoys a magnificent natural setting. It is the third-largest city in Italy after Rome and Milan, and arguably the most colorful and seductive of them all: Splendor and squalor live side by side in 21st-century Naples, and the mix is intoxicating.

 

Cruise to Naples, home to world-class museums and attractions. Naples has something for everyone - superb restaurants, eclec...

### Day 6: At Sea
Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities.

### Day 7: Kerkira (Corfu)
**Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM

Fortresses flank your entrance to this most beautiful of the Ionians. Lose yourself in the Venetian old town or head north for dramatic seascapes. Sample shore excursion: Achillion Palace & Private Villa.

### Day 8: Dubrovnik
**Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 09:00 PM

On the southern end of Croatia's Adriatic coast, Dubrovnik staked its claim to glory during the 450 years it existed as the independent Ragusan Republic, shoulder to shoulder with mighty forces like Venice and the Ottoman Empire. Once a renowned seafaring, shipbuilding and trading center, today it's an enchanting tourist destination. Dubrovnik seduces sightseeing visitors with its polished (and very clean!) limestone streets, theatrical architecture, charming
cafÃ©, welcoming restaurants and di...

### Day 9: Kotor
**Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 03:00 PM

Kotor is located along one of Montenegro's most beautiful bays. First settled during the days of ancient Rome, the city today has a well preserved urban centre with a vibrant community. Medieval architecture and numerous monuments of cultural heritage have made Kotor a UNESCO listed âWorld Natural and Historical Heritage Site." 


### Day 10: Zadar, Croatia
**Arrives:** 10:00 AM · **Departs:** 07:00 PM

It may sound like the name of some fantastic distant land or even a planet, but the only things out of this world about Zadar are its seaside views, delicious Croatian-Mediterranean cuisine and wines and the warm welcome when you arrive in this history-steeped Croatian town. Perched on a peninsula extending into the Adriatic, Zadar was a crossroads in the ancient world and a cornerstone of the Venetian Empire. As in many Croatian towns, layers of history and art are everywhere (keep your eyes op...

### Day 11: Trieste, Italy
**Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

Trieste is the capital city of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region in northeast Italy. A port city, it occupies a thin strip of land between the Adriatic coast and Sloveniaâs border on the limestone-dominated Karst Plateau. Italian, Austro-Hungarian and Slovenian influences are all evident in its layout, which encompasses a medieval old city and a neoclassical Austrian quarter.
