Jewels of the Mediterranean
Please note this is an Adults Only cruise.
Turn up the heat with an unforgettable sail in the sunshine. Cruising through the Mediterranean is the ultimate way to soak in that glorious climate and reflect on the magic that swells through those historic cities and pristine beaches. From the enchanting city of Rome, with its ancient ruins and breathtaking Colosseum below, to the aqua-blue waters and stretches of golden sands of Mallorca, there is something for everybody. Sip wine in Corsica and lose yourself in the tiled hilly streets of Lisbon – our itinerary is a treasure trove of Mediterranean treats.
Cruise Highlights
Civitavecchia – for Rome, Italy
One of Europe’s most historic city, Rome is a treasure house of ancient ruins, museums and art galleries, including the breathtaking Colosseum and Sistine Chapel. You can also experience some of the most delicious food in the world.
Leixoes – for Oporto, Portugal
When taking an optional tour of Porto, it’s a must to sample the magnificent port wine that has made the city world famous. But there’s plenty more to savour, from the stunning Francisco Church to the magnificent 19th-century Palácio de Bolsa.
Cadiz – for Seville, Spain
Take an optional tour to sun-soaked Seville where you’ll find a city of contrasts: from the magnificent cathedral and Alcazar Palace to bustling street markets, lively flamenco shows, tranquil river cruises and, of course, truly wonderful tapas.
Lisbon, Portugal
Alongside a magnificent climate, Lisbon combines a wealth of history with a vibrant contemporary culture. The futuristic Parque das Nações, with its cable car, is a must-see and some of Portugal’s best beaches are just a bus ride away.
