Cruise Itinerary: Barcelona, Spain, Provence(Marseilles), France, Nice (Villefranche), France, Florence, Italy, Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy, Naples/Capri, Italy, Valletta, Malta, Tunis, Tunisia, Barcelona, Spain. There's nothing quite like Barcelona. Especially if you consider the architecture. The city lays claim to its very own form of Art Nouveau, known as Modernisme. The Sagrada Familia Basilica is perhaps the best example of this beautiful and interesting brand of architecture, with its bold color, beautiful tile-work and swirling lines. At the same time, many find the work at the Picasso Museum and the cathedrals of the Gothic Quarter equally inspiring. Stroll the spirit and charm of France's oldest city - along La Canabiere toward the Vieux Port where ships have docked for more than 26 centuries, or in Cours Julien, a large pedestrian square lined with some of Marseille's trendiest cafes and theatres. And of course, no trip to Marseille would be complete without tasting its most renowned dish - bouillabaisse. This bustling little town on the coast of France has its own unique charm. Part of the Côte d'Azur Villefranche offers long sandy beaches, terrace cafés, and world-class cuisine, making it a great stop on your way to Monte Carlo, Nice, or Cannes. Occupying both banks of the Arno River and situated at the foot of the Apennine Mountains, is Florence. Founded by Julius Caesar himself, Florence is known as the birthplace of the Renaissance. History and art shake hands in this picturesque land where masterpieces like Michelangelo's David can be seen in the city's many museums, churches and galleries. Once the center of the ancient world from which emperors ruled over nearly all of western civilization for hundreds of years, Rome is still considered by many to reign over all other European destinations. Here you can breathe the air once breathed by great Roman gladiators in the ancient halls of the Colosseum. Gaze upon the very ceilings Michelangelo painted at the Sistine Chapel. Or visit a monument to both size and faith, St. Peter's Basilica, the largest church ever built. Located on the southern coast of Italy, Naples has spectacular scenery that attracts artists from around the world. From this key spot, you can embark on a trip to the ruins of Pompeii or shop the many boutiques of Sorrento. You may work up an appetite for one of Naples' greatest inventions - pizza - invented to honor the Queen of Italy in 1889. Located on a narrow peninsula nestled between two deep harbors on Malta's northeast coast, Valetta is rich in history. It was named after Jean Parisot de la Vallette, grand master of the Knights Hospitallers, whose majestic Grand Master's Palace of the Knights of St. John remains one of the city's many points of interest. Not your typical tourist site, this town entices you to stroll along the vegetable stands, head into the markets and wander into almost any welcoming cafe. And if that’s not enough, visit the Bardo Museum and its stunning selection of mosaics. What is included: - Shipboard accommodations
