Hiking Experience In Zaghouan Mountains

An ancient principality steeped in rich and colorful history, Monaco was bought from the Genoese in 1309 by the Grimaldis, who still rule as the world&#39;s oldest monarchy - presided over today by Prince Albert.

Giotto, Brunelleschi, Botticelli and Michelangelo made their marks of genius here. This cradle of the Renaissance owes its UNESCO status to the overwhelming influence the city and its museums, churches, architecture and artworks have had on Europe and, ultimately, the world. Vestiges of this enlightened period are everywhere today – at the Uffizi gallery, the Palazzos Pitta and Vecchio and throughout the city streets. 

Charming town on the French island of Corsica with a rich history dating back to Napoleon Bonaparte. Home to the Maison Bonaparte, the residence-turned-museum bearing the general&#39;s name, this once fortified town founded by the Genoese in 1492 today boasts a Côte d&#39;Azur flair along its trendy waterfront promenade. Nestled between sea and mountains, its magnificent UNESCO-designated Golfe de Porto is part of Corsica&#39;s Regional National Park, renowned for its geologic and ecologic natural value.

Your guide will be waiting for you at the port and you will set off together to discover the “Imperial City” on a picturesque walking exploration of the Old Town.Following the footsteps of greatness, you will see the town hall, Palm tree square dominated by a statue of Napoleon robed like a Roman consul and surrounded by four lions, and de Gaulle square, with its equestrian statue of Napoleon on horseback accompanied by four of his brothers. Next you will pass by the cathedral, completed in 1593 and dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was here that Napoleon was christened in 1771; none of those present could possibly have imagined that a mere 33 years later, the squalling baby at the baptismal font would be crowned emperor. That ceremony took place in 1804 at the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris and was witnessed by no less a personage than the pope himself. A pillar near the entrance to Ajaccio cathedral bears a plaque with the letter N surrounded by laurel leaves. This is in memory of the exiled Napoleon&#39;s dying wish to be brought back to lie with his ancestors in Ajaccio&#39;s cathedral, if his body was not to be buried in Paris. The exploration continues to the “Maison Bonaparte” which is situated in the town center. Napoleon was born here in 1769 and lived in the house until the age of nine. The house had been the Bonaparte family home since 1682 and apart from a few tumultuous years in the late 18th century when the family had to flee Corsica for mainland France, remained so until well into the 20th century. In the late 1960s it was given to the French government by Prince Victor Napoleon and became a national museum. The museum houses many exhibits associated with the Bonaparte family, including a death mask of the emperor. After the visit you can either return to the ship or explore the city on your own. The pedestrian area is lined with boutiques, cafés and restaurants and you may like to take a stroll down Rue Fesch before returning to the ship.

You will have approximately one hour to admire the museum&rsquo;s masterpieces independently or with your guide, exploring floors dedicated to Napoleon, contemporary artists, and 14th- to 18th-century art. Some of the more famed pieces include works by such masters as Botticelli and Titian. All too soon, it will be time to join your guide for the short walk back to your ship.

Improvement and development of our products and suppliers, information technology systems and the way we communicate with you, including measuring the responses to certain products;

Providing a specialised and personalised service to you to help us meet your needs as a customer, including providing you with marketing material that is relevant to your interests. This may include us measuring your responses to marketing communications;

Contact and interaction with you, for example by phone, email or post or by responding to social media posts that you send to us, so that we can service your booking or query effectively as a customer

We may share the personal data we collect with other companies in the Century Travel Group, where it is necessary for the effective servicing of a booking or query.

We may share the personal data we collect with other Supplier Partners and Service Providers. We only share personal data that enable our Supplier Partners to provide their services. We work with carefully selected Service Providers that carry out certain functions on our behalf, including for example, companies that help us with our technology services, storing and combining data, and processing payments. We only share personal data that enable our Service Providers to effectively provide their services. When we share personal data with these companies we require them store and process it securely, and they must not use your personal data for their own marketing purposes.

We may also need to share personal data with other organisations in certain circumstances:

if the law or a public authority says we must share the personal data;

if we need to share personal data in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (this includes providing personal data to others for the purposes of preventing fraud and reducing credit risk);

to an organisation we sell or transfer (or enter into negotiations to sell or transfer) any of our businesses or any of our rights or obligations under any agreement we may have with you. If the transfer or sale goes ahead, the organisation receiving your personal data can use your personal data in the same way as us; or

to any other successors in title to our business.

The personal data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area “EEA”). It may also be processed by companies operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our Service Providers, such as airlines, hoteliers, insurance companies and ground handling agents so they can provide you the arrangements you require.

In order for you to travel overseas, we may be required to disclose certain of your personal data to government bodies or other authorities in Cyprus and in other countries, such as those responsible for immigration, border control, security and anti-terrorism. Even if it is not mandatory for us to provide information to such authorities, we may exercise our discretion to assist them where appropriate.

The protection and safe-guarding of your personal data is very important to us and we implement various security safeguards to protect your data, including:

Regular reviews of our processes for collecting, storing and processing your personal data.

Restricting access to your personal data to authorised users. This includes the use of physical security measures.

However, whilst we take appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard your personal data, please note that we cannot guarantee the security of any personal data that you transfer over the internet to us.

We will send you relevant news and offers about our products and services in a number of ways, including by email, but only if you have previously agreed to receive these marketing communications or have engaged with us in a service provision way. When you register with us on our Website, we will ask you if you would like to receive marketing communications. When you engage with a travel consultant, they will also ask you if you would like to receive marketing communications. You can change your marketing choices over the phone with your consultant or by unsubscribing from our emails at any time.

Under the Data Protection Act 1998 and the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to see the personal data we hold about you. This is called a Subject Access Request. If you would like a copy of the personal data we hold about you, please write to: Century Travel, PO Box 62862, 8069 Paphos.
