### Day 3: At Sea
Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities.

### Day 4: Vigo, Spain
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

It is hard to believe that in 1702, amid the calm setting of Vigo's fjord-like harbour, an English and Dutch force once fought and defeated the French and Spanish fleets anchored here. A major port city of Galicia, renowned for its seafood, Vigo has an appealing old town with a labyrinth of steep and winding narrow streets and shaded squares. Nearby is Santiago de Compostela, Christendom's third most holy pilgrimage shrine, in whose vast Gothic cathedral lays the body of St James.

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

### Day 6: Cadiz, Spain
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

One of Western Europe's most ancient cities, founded 3,000 years ago by Phoenician merchants, Cadiz hugs Andalucia's sunlit Atlantic coast. It's a historic and intriguing seaport-from which Spain's galleons once sailed in quest of New World treasure - characterised by palm trees, look out towers and weathered old buildings. From here you can visit Jerez de la Frontera, centre of Spain's sherry production, and put to the test the creations of its many bodegas!

### Day 7: Malaga, Spain
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

The busy port city of Andalusia, the Spain of gazpacho and paella, flamenco and fiesta, recaptured from the Moors of the 15th century after 800 years of conflict. Enjoy the panorama from Gibralfara Castle, and visit the Moorish Alcazaba fortress, the birthplace of Picasso, and a wine cellar to try the famous local dessert wines. Or travel to Granada, to the glorious Alhambra, whose proud 14th century palaces and exotic gardens are Spain's finest expression of Moorish art.

### Day 8: Cartagena, Spain
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

Today Spain's major commercial port and naval base, Cartagena lies on the coast of Murcia, its great indented bay guarded by rocky promontories, each topped by a fort. Founded in 221 BC by Hasdrubal, leader of the Carthaginians (hence the name) from North Africa, it has a fascinating history - and as Nova Carthage was long the Romans' principal settlement in their Iberian stronghold. Attractive promenades extend along the harbour, while to the northeast is the famous beach and watersports resort...

### Day 9: Alicante, Spain
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

Alicante's splendid Paeso Maritimo stretches northeast from the harbour, bristling with pleasure boats, to the expansive beach of Playa del Postiguet. The Rambla de Mendez Nunez leads to a lively market, while the Cathedral de San Nicolas de Bar is dedicated to the patron saint of Alicante. Most famous city landmark, the 3rd century Castillo de Santa Barbara, perched above the city on Mount Benecantil, affords marvellous city panoramas.

### Day 10: Alicante, Spain
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

Alicante's splendid Paeso Maritimo stretches northeast from the harbour, bristling with pleasure boats, to the expansive beach of Playa del Postiguet. The Rambla de Mendez Nunez leads to a lively market, while the Cathedral de San Nicolas de Bar is dedicated to the patron saint of Alicante. Most famous city landmark, the 3rd century Castillo de Santa Barbara, perched above the city on Mount Benecantil, affords marvellous city panoramas.

### Day 11: Mahon, Menorca
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

The second of Spain's four Balearic Islands, Menorca has an engaging charm perfectly embodied in the easily explored capital of Mahon with its attractive shops, outdoor market and the traditional buildings of its hilly old quarter. One of Europe's best natural harbours - where the 18th century British fleet sheltered when Menorca was ruled from London (Admiral Nelson's visits are commemorated still by the local Nelson Gin!)

### Day 12: At Sea
Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities.

### Day 13: Savona
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

### Day 14: La Spezia, Italy
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

### Day 15: Bastia, Corsica, France
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

### Day 16: Propriano, Corsica
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

The dramatic maquis-covered landscapes of Corsica - ruled by the Genoese for centuries and often seemingly more Italian than French - span 650 square miles of fretted, beach-fringed coastline, alp-like mountains that soar to 9,00ft, cool pine and chestnut forests, sunburst vineyards and olive groves. From the little resort of Propriano by the sands of the Gulf of Valinco you can explore the capital, Ajaccio (birthplace of Napoleon), and the unspoilt scenery of Corsica's wild interior.

### Day 17: Salerno, Italy
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

Situated between two of Italyâs most beautiful and best-known destinations, the Amalfi Coast and Cilento National Park, the lively city of Salerno is â perhaps unsurprisingly, but not justifiably â overlooked by many visitors to, and explorers of, the gorgeous Campania region.

However, the loss of the âover lookersâ is certainly the gain of those who do take the time to visit and explore Salerno; there are centuries of rich history â influenced by the Romans, Goths and Byzantines ...

### Day 18: Salerno, Italy
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

Situated between two of Italyâs most beautiful and best-known destinations, the Amalfi Coast and Cilento National Park, the lively city of Salerno is â perhaps unsurprisingly, but not justifiably â overlooked by many visitors to, and explorers of, the gorgeous Campania region.

However, the loss of the âover lookersâ is certainly the gain of those who do take the time to visit and explore Salerno; there are centuries of rich history â influenced by the Romans, Goths and Byzantines ...

### Day 19: Strait of Messina
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

### Day 20: Valleta, Malta
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

Strategically situated midway between Sicily and North Africa, Malta is in every sense a Mediterranean crossroads - a tiny island with an epic and heroic history in which invasion and siege have seen the influence Romans, Phoenicians, Greeks, Arabs, Normans, Crusaders and, of course, Britain all leave an enduring mark upon its cultural heritage. The16th century walled capital of Valletta with its Grand Harbour is a treasure-chest bristling with Baroque architecture, its narrow streets a tempting...
