Resolutely British for nearly 300 years, its unique setting unites the oddly familiar - from the helmeted policemen to Marks & Spencer - with an extrovert Mediterranean mood. Test the shops and pubs in Main Street and Irish Town, take a cable-car ride to enjoy the grandstand views to a nearby Africa, and of course make a call on those Barbary apes! ### Day 6: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 7: Port Vendres, France **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM ### Day 8: Toulon, France **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Historic Toulon has been a principal naval base of France for three centuries and, despite post-war reconstruction, a sense of its traditional charm survives amid the old town's narrow streets behind the waterfront and Vieux Port.
