This captivating 10-night cruise from Rome to Marseille visits some true gems of the Mediterranean in the ebbing light of the October sun. First, we trace the Italian coast south, calling at Sorrento, fragranced by the lemon groves, and the pastel-colored town of Amalfi, perched above the blue-green waters of the Med. Over now to Palermo in Sicily to see a dazzling array of architecture that dates back to Byzantine times and beyond. We next cross to Tunis in North Africa, where Maghreb flair meets French style, and an overnight stay brings the opportunity for a trip to explore the nearby UNESCO site of Carthage. Next, enjoy a leisurely sea day as we make our way to Barcelona, where we have another overnight so you can make the most of this buzzing city, discovering its art, architecture, shopping, and lively tapas bars, or visiting the nearby cava-producing vineyards of Penedès. Our final stop is France’s oldest city, Marseille, which combines quaint port life with modern urban bustle.

Amalfi, Italy picture
Widely hailed as one of Italy's most picturesque destinations, Amalfi is a stunning visual feast. Natural landscapes, historic architecture, and charming streets jostle with heart achingly beautiful coastal vistas for pride of place on the picturesque podium. The town's dramatic setting along the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, with the turquoise waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea below, is perhaps one of Italy's finest views. Historically renowned as a maritime powerhouse during the Middle Ages, Amalfi's influence is reflected in its architecture, such as the impressive Cathedral of Saint Andrew with its ornate facade and distinctive Byzantine and Arab-Norman influences. The town's narrow streets and staircases wind through pastel-colored houses, creating a postcard-worthy scenes time after time while the iconic Cloister of Paradise, a tranquil haven, offers a glimpse into Amalfi's monastic history. However, no trip to Amalfi would be complete without tasting the local gastronomy. The region is world famous for its cuisine and Amalfi's local fare is a celebration of local flavors, with fresh seafood, citrus fruits, and artisanal limoncello capturing the essence of the Mediterranean.
