## Itinerary

### Day 1: Nice
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM

Nice, Queen of the Riviera, is imbued with the joie de vivre that epitomizes this fabled coastline. Perhaps it is that famous light and color that has long attracted artists, that makes one feel so alive, makes a stroll down the wide seaside Promenade des Anglais so exhilarating. The old town is a warren of meandering lanes edged by tall houses, and small, alluring shops. A treasure trove of archaeological and fine art museums is not to be ignored, nor is the famous flower market, awash in the h...

### Day 2: Santa Margarita
**Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 08:00 PM

Santa Margherita is much more than your mother-in-lawâs preferred brand of Pinot Grigio. This charming resort community is the perfect place to indulge in some well-deserved relaxation.

Nevertheless, youâll still want to bring your walking shoes, since thereâs a gorgeous walking district where you can see glamorous old hotels and dramatic forts overlooking the sea. Donât miss Castello di Santa Margherita, a castle built in 1550 by the Republic of Genoa as a defense against pirate atta...

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

When you picture classic Italian romance (think Lady-and-the-Tramp-sharing-a-plate-of-spaghetti-and-meatballs-while-staring-into-each-otherâs-eyes romance), the setting could be Portovenere.

Set on the Gulf of Poets (Golfo dei Poeti), Portovenere served as inspiration for the works of English poets Lord Byron and Percy Shelley in the early 1800s, which speaks volumes for just how romantic this idyllic seaside village really is.

### Day 4: Florence /pisa (Livorno), Italy
**Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

Ah, Florenceâsublime birthplace of the Renaissance, its historic center full to bursting with elegant squares, imposing palaces, magnificent churches, and museums with such an abundance of riches it could make an art lover weep for joy.

The list of illustrious names connected with this city is mind-boggling: Botticelli, Dante, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Galileo. Other colorful and fascinating characters were of dubious reputation: Machiavelli, and the religious extremist Savonarola, with his b...

### Day 6: Villefranche
**Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 10:00 PM

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

### Day 8: Palma, Majorca
**Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM

Palma is a resort city and capital of the Spanish island of Mallorca (Majorca), in the western Mediterranean. The massive Santa MarÃ­a cathedral, a Gothic landmark begun in the 13th century, overlooks the Bay of Palma. The adjacent Almudaina is a Moorish-style Arab fortress converted to a royal residence. West of the city, hilltop Bellver Castle is a medieval fortress with a distinctive circular shape

### Day 9: Barcelona
**Arrives:** 06:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

Dynamic Barcelona is all about architecture, from the magnificent medieval buildings of the Gothic Quarter to the Modernist movement typified by the work of Antoni Gaudi. Though his materials were stone and metal, his forms were organic, awash in curves, swirls, and colors. His masterpiece is the amazing Church of the Sagrada Familia, colossal and as yet unfinished, though construction began in 1882. A contemporary contribution to the scene is Ricardo Bofill's post modernist National Theater of ...
