Cruise Itinerary

Feel the Excitement!

Discover your Ports of Call

London/Dover, England   For centuries, Dover has been a symbol of England’s royal fortitude. The port’s legendary White Cliffs have long been a welcomed landmark for seafaring travelers. London’s legendary sights, including Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Parliament Square, Whitehall and the fashionable West End, lie just 80 miles from historic Dover.

Oporto/Leixoes,Portugal Ideally placed where the Douro River meets the Atlantic, Oporto brings together the best of Portugal: warm sunshine, a relaxed riverside setting, grand churches, winding medieval streets, houses garnished with wrought iron and courtyards filled with geraniums.

Lisbon,Portugal   Cosmopolitan Lisbon was the center of the world’s last great colonial empire.  Although located on the Atlantic coast, Lisbon has the soul of a Mediterranean city with Moorish castles, pastel and white buildings, orange-tiled roofs and luminous blue skies.

Gibraltar, United Kingdom  Like a crouching lion, the Rock of Gibraltar’s imposing presence supports the legend that it is one of the two Pillars of Hercules. Dramatically soaring to almost 1,400 feet, it boasts one of the world’s most recognizable silhouettes.

Valencia, Spain  One of the largest cities of Spain, Valencia is also one of the country’s most dynamic. Its location on the Mediterranean offers a mild climate, bringing sun worshippers to Valencia’s many beaches. When the sun goes down, the tempo speeds up as locals and visitors gather in cafes and nightclubs.

Barcelona, Spain Barcelona has long been the Spanish link to Western Europe. It was the home of Picasso, Miró, Dalí, Casals and Gaudí and has been described as a Mediterranean Manhattan, a cosmopolitan experimental center for political ideas and artistic movements.

Cannes, France As you approach the shore, you will be treated to a spectacular panorama of irregular peaks and scenic villages clustered on narrow ledges. Majestic cities like Monte Carlo and St. Tropez host pleasure boats, yachts and the glamorous French Riviera.

Florence/Livorno, Italy No place is as imbued with such grace, dignity, serenity and history as is Florence. This city’s wealth of architectural and artistic treasures includes works by Raphael, da Vinci, Botticelli and Michelangelo. Truly Florence, cradle of the Italian Renaissance, is one of the world’s most enticing cities.
