Itinerary
- Say goodbye to your current destination, for it’s time to head somewhere new! Flight information will be available closer to your embarkation date, but this will be when you’re hopping on a plane to continue your adventure – be that travelling somewhere new, or heading home.
- The adventure continues, and it’s time to travel from one destination to the next! At this stage of your journey, you’ll transfer between destinations. The specific details of your transfer will be available closer to your departure date. However, if you have any questions regarding this, please contact one of our talented cruise agents; they would be happy to help!
- With a hotel stay in this stunning destination, you’ll have the chance to immerse yourself even more in the unique culture of the region you’re visiting during your cruise getaway. It’s also a fantastic opportunity to explore the nightlife of the holiday hotspot you’re in, something you don’t always get when you’re sailing from one incredible destination to the next during your cruise.

- This vibrant seaside city is home to unforgettable architecture and creative scenes from renowned artists. The buildings you’ll find here are unlike anything you’ve ever seen, such as Park Güell and Casa Batllo, while foodies will be spoilt for choice with 20 different Michelin-star restaurants. At the end of a busy day of shopping, enjoy the energetic nightlife, or relax on the beach with newfound friends. Whatever your interests, Barcelona has the perfect itinerary for you.
- Famous for its deliciously fresh seafood – the prawns are particularly highly recommended! Palamos offers sandy stretches of beaches, lively nightlife, hidden coves to explore and plenty of natural beauty to hike and bike. Learn about the city’s thriving fishing trade, take a cooking workshop and simply relax in the sun! Palamos has plenty to be discovered for history enthusiasts and foodies in particular, though kids will also love splashing in the sea all day.
- A popular holiday resort with people from all over Europe since the 19th century, Nice is one of the top spots on the beautiful French Riviera. A stroll down the Promenade des Anglais is a great way to admire the scenery and pebbled beach before heading to the pleasant harbour - a fantastic spot to enjoy some seafood in the sun. After dining, head up to the gorgeous gardens atop the old castle for unrivalled views out over the whole city and bay.
- If you’re looking for an exhilarating afternoon of motorsport action in one of the most stunning destinations in Europe, you’re certainly in the right place. With 19 tight corners, top speeds of almost 300 km/h, and well-over 40 metres of elevation changes throughout the two-mile track, the Monaco Grand Prix is one of the most demanding races on the Formula One calendar and a spectacle always worth watching. This exciting experience will give you an entire day at the Circuit de Monaco to watch the thrilling 78-lap race and see the talents of Formula One World Champions like Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen go toe-to-toe with the latest Monaco Grand Prix race winner Lando Norris – and the threatening walls and barriers of this winding circuit – to win a vital 25 points for the Formula One Drivers Championship. With the Driver’s Parade starting at 13:00 local time before ‘lights out’ at 15:00 local time, you’ll spend a sunny afternoon in the Principality of Monaco enjoying one of the most prestigious automobile races in the world; it’s certain to be an experience you won’t soon forget.
