Try a taste of Crystal life on a roundtrip voyage from Barcelona. Short but sweet, this voyage hops from Spain to France and back. We start in the buzzing Catalan capital, where you can stroll the famous tree-lined promenade, La Rambla, gaze in awe at the fantastical buildings of the 19th-century architect Antonio Gaudí, and admire early works by Pablo Picasso in the museum dedicated to the artist. Then we cross the border to France and the equally enthralling port of Marseille, which revels in its history as a major trading hub with its cosmopolitan mix of culture and cuisine. Soak it all up as you wander around the Vieux Port and past the old merchant’s houses on La Canebière. On our return, we’ll call at Sète to dine on oysters from the lagoon and laze on the beach, before heading back to Barcelona once more.

Explore the countries and cities where empires once ruled and where monuments to their histories still stand amidst progressive hubs of culture and artistry.

Indeed, the treasures here are many and diverse, captivating travelers and experts alike. In fact, nine important sites in the city, seven designed by the famed architect himself, have earned the acclaim of UNESCO.

Marseille is France&#39;s oldest city and one of the Mediterranean&#39;s premier ports.
