The harbor offers amazing views and a maze of wharves and canals, along with towering spires make for a beautiful sight. Take a stroll and duck into one of the pubs or eateries along the way. Only three pre World War II buildings in the city centre have survived and are worth a look - city hall, St. Laurence church and the White House. Explore the Museum Boymans van Beuningen, which houses a unique collec... ### Day 2: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 3: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 4: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 5: Casablanca **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 07:00 PM Casablanca is Morocco's largest city and its most important port. While Rabat is the country's official capital, Casablanca is its economic and cultural hub, the place where Moroccans go to make it big. There has been a settlement here since before the Romans, and although the Barbary pirates and Portuguese also left their marks, it wasn't until the French colonial period that Casablanca truly came into its own. The modern city was the first in the world to be laid out by aerial survey, and was ... ### Day 6: Agadir **Arrives:** 12:00 PM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Regardless of when you visit Agadir, on Morocco’s Atlantic Coast, your chances of arriving on a sunny day are pretty high. That selling point has made it a popular seaside resort for Europeans, who stroll along the promenade and surf, wet bike and ride camels on the seemingly endless crescent-shaped beach. Here, you can sip a cup of Berber tea at a café, grab a pint at a pub or dine and dance at one of the beach clubs. Beyond the beach, much of the area’s history has been erased, and all that ca... ### Day 7: Puerto del Rosario, Fuerteventura, Spain **Arrives:** 10:00 AM · **Departs:** 09:00 PM Enjoy strolling on Puerto del Rosario's sandy beaches, or wander through the harbour area, the oldest part of town. From here you can find all of the small alleys lined with old Canarian style houses. ### Day 8: Las Palmas **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Las Palmas is a capital of Gran Canaria, one of Spain's Canary Islands off northwestern Africa. A major cruise-ship port, the city is known for duty-free shopping and for its sandy beaches. At Playa de Las Canteras, a coral barrier lines the beach and shelters swimmers. ### Day 9: Santa Cruz de la Palma **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM A visit to the wild island of La Palma—the most northern and westerly of the Canary Islands—is about as close as it gets to visiting Jurassic Park. Prehistoric junglelike forests with wispy waterfalls and babbling streams blanket the north of the isle, while the south feels dry and scorched with simmering dormant volcanoes. The craggy coastline and black-sand beaches sit below the soaring ridgeline of the eight-kilometer-wide (five-mile-wide) Caldera de Taburiente. It’s no wonder the entire isla... ### Day 10: Santa Cruz (Tenerife) **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 03:00 PM Though part of Spain, the Canary Islands sit in the open Atlantic Ocean, about 100 kilometers (60 miles) west of Morocco. The mild climate mixed with a rich volcanic landscape and beautiful sandy beaches makes the main city of Santa Cruz, on the largest island of Tenerife, a welcome stop for many cruise voyages. The isolated island is dominated by the Teide volcano, the tallest mountain in Spain and site of one of the world’s most popular national parks. A cable car carries visitors to the top, ... ### Day 11: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 12: Cadiz (Seville) **Arrives:** 10:00 AM · **Departs:** 08:00 PM Hanging off the southwestern edge of Spain, Cádiz is one of Andalucía’s regional capitals and a place bursting with personality. Europe’s oldest continually inhabited city, with a history stretching back 3,000 years, has fallen on hard times in recent years, but a combination of pride, good humor and stoicism keeps it on an even keel. The famous Carnival, one of Spain’s most important in the genre, is a thrilling fiesta into which Cádiz pours all its energy and ingenuity. The city’s fond nick... ### Day 13: Malaga **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM Málaga is your chance to tour to the Moorish wonders of the Alhambra with its elaborate carvings, grand columns and delicate arches. Stalagmites and stalactites reach calcite fingers into the caverns of Nerja, near Malaga. 30,000 years ago, people lived in the shadowy recesses of these caves. In nearby Mijas, shop tables are laden with hand-made ceramics, and the people live in shuttered, whitewashed cottages. ### Day 14: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 15: Barcelona **Arrives:** 07:00 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 architecture—Gaudí and Picasso both called it home—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 shops—some of which are centuries old and stock traditional Catalan wares. After you see the sights, there are lively tapa... ### Day 16: Valencia **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 10:00 PM Famous for paella at Pepica's, favorite of Ernest Hemingway when he came to Valencia for bullfight festivals. Overlooking the Gulf of Valencia and the Balearic Islands, this Spanish jewel blends ancient and new in its historic center, where the Barrio del Carmen neighborhood uses the old walls of the city in its more modern structures. Walk the cobblestone streets to the chic Colon Street, home to local boutiques-or take in the sublime views from Las Arenas beach or one of the many delightful pl... ### Day 17: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 18: Marseille (Provence) **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 04:00 PM Marseille, in the south of France, has more spice, grit and edge than the Provençal 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 that’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 classic... ### Day 19: 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 20: Civitavecchia (Rome) **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 08:00 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 21: Naples (Pompeii) **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 07:00 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 22: Cruising Strait Of Messina **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM ### Day 23: Kotor **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 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 “World Natural and Historical Heritage Site." ### Day 24: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 25: Piraeus (Athens), Greece **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM No modern metropolis is more steeped in myth than Athens, Greece. From the gritty port of Piraeus—gateway to Greece’s fabled isles—to the Parthenon—eternal symbol of Western civilization—Athens has attracted adventurers and classicists for centuries. This heritage is still very much alive for modern visitors sightseeing in Athens: ancient stadiums and temples dwell alongside apartment blocks, modern performances are staged in the marble amphitheaters where Greek drama was born and millennia-old ... ## Pricing Prices shown are per person based on double occupancy in USD. | Cabin Type | Starting Price | |------------|----------------| | Inside | $4,379 | | Ocean View | $4,899 | | Balcony | $5,419 | | Suite | $6,799 | ## Cabin Options ### Outside Cabins **Large Oceanview Stateroom** (Code: D) These expansive staterooms include two lower beds convertible to one queen-size bed—our Signature Mariner's Dream bed with plush Euro-Top mattresses, premium massage shower heads, a host of amenities and an ocean view.
