The discoveries waiting for you on Italian, French and Spanish shores are as inspiring as the coastlines are picturesque. A fascinating cruise that takes in the many facets of the Mediterranean. The islands of Capri, Corsica and Menorca are inviting with their amazing panoramas, bizarre cliff coastlines and idyllic underwater worlds. Cartagena with its chequered past and Valencia – time honoured and modern – line your route to Barcelona. Wander through the streets late into the evening and marvel at the creative architecture of Gaudí. Calvi and St. Tropez both have bustling harbour promenades and boast breathtaking views of the sea – enjoy them before your cruise on the EUROPA 2 comes to an end in Monte Carlo.
The cruise is fully booked.
