Between the cast... ### Day 13: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 14: Valencia, Spain **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Valencia is located in the middle of Europe's most densely developed agricultural region.

Incorporated into Spain in the 15th ce... ### Day 15: Barcelona, Spain **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is said to have been founded by the Phoenicians, and was once the rival of the powerful states of Venice and Genoa for control of the Mediterranean trade.
