PORTS OF CALL

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

Civitavecchia serves as the maritime gateway to Rome, and it's essential to approach a day here with a clear and realistic plan. The 'Eternal City' is a 60- to 90-minute journey from the port, a commute that requires factoring travel time into your precious hours ashore. The most common and efficient method is the regional train, which connects Civitavecchia's station (a short walk or shuttle from the port) with Rome's key transit hubs. For those seeking more comfort and a direct route to specific sites, pre-booked private transfers are an excellent, albeit more costly, alternative.

With time being the most valuable currency, a successful day in Rome means choosing a focus. Attempting to conquer everything results in a frantic blur. We recommend choosing one of two paths. The first is a deep dive into Ancient Rome: pre-book tickets to explore the staggering scale of the Colosseum, walk through the ruins of the Roman Forum where emperors once stood, and marvel at the architectural genius of the Pantheon. This area is largely walkable and provides a cohesive historical narrative.

Alternatively, focus on the grandeur of Vatican City. Stand in the embrace of Bernini's colonnades in St. Peter's Square and enter the breathtaking St. Peter's Basilica, a monument to faith and art. A visit to the Vatican Museums to see the Sistine Chapel is possible, but requires strict, timed-entry tickets and a significant time commitment that will likely preclude other sightseeing.

Whichever path you choose, build in moments for the simple Roman pleasures that give the city its soul. Find a small piazza, order a quick espresso at a bar, toss a coin in the Trevi Fountain, or savor a scoop of authentic gelato. For those who prefer to avoid the journey altogether, Civitavecchia itself offers a pleasant waterfront, a bustling market, and the impressive Forte Michelangelo, providing a relaxed, local Italian experience.

Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Italy

Livorno is less a destination in itself and more a golden ticket to the heart of Tuscany. The critical decision for your day here is choosing between the artistic grandeur of Florence and the iconic architecture of Pisa, both accessible via a significant journey from the port.

The primary draw is, of course, Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance. A 75- to 90-minute journey by train or coach transports you to a city of overwhelming beauty. A day trip here demands a clear, focused plan. We strongly advise choosing one major museum—either the Uffizi Gallery for its masterpieces by Botticelli and Leonardo, or the Accademia Gallery to stand in awe before Michelangelo's David. Pre-booking tickets is absolutely essential to avoid wasting precious hours in line. Beyond the museums, the city's magic is in its streets. Stroll across the jewelry-laden Ponte Vecchio, marvel at the sheer scale of Brunelleschi's Duomo, and find a small trattoria for an authentic plate of fresh pasta. Always be mindful of the clock; the return journey is just as long.

For a more manageable, yet equally memorable day, Pisa is an excellent choice. The main attraction is the Piazza dei Miracoli, or 'Field of Miracles,' where the legendary Leaning Tower, the magnificent Cathedral, and the Baptistery create an unforgettable architectural ensemble. The experience is more concentrated and less sprawling than Florence, allowing for a more relaxed pace. Many travelers wisely pair Pisa with a visit to nearby Lucca, a beautifully preserved medieval city encircled by intact Renaissance-era walls, perfect for a leisurely walk or bike ride.

Should you prefer to stay local, Livorno offers its own modest charms. Explore the Venezia Nuova district, a network of canals reminiscent of its more famous namesake, or visit the bustling Mercato Centrale for a taste of authentic local life.

Porto Venere, Italy

Cannes, France

Cannes presents a captivating duality, effortlessly balancing cinematic glamour with the timeless charm of the Côte d'Azur. Most ships tender into the Vieux Port (Old Port), placing you at the foot of the city’s two distinct personalities. To your right is the legendary Boulevard de la Croisette, a sun-drenched promenade lined with grand hotels, couture boutiques, and exclusive beach clubs. A stroll here is essential for people-watching and absorbing the Riviera’s polished atmosphere. At its western end stands the Palais des Festivals, where a photo on the iconic red-carpeted steps is a requisite stop for film lovers.

For a complete change of pace, turn left from the port and ascend into Le Suquet, the old quarter. Here, the modern glitz gives way to a labyrinth of steep, cobbled lanes, charming local restaurants, and pastel-hued houses. The climb is rewarded with panoramic views from the Place de la Castre, home to a medieval castle and church. This historic hilltop provides a serene perspective over the bustling bay below.

Beyond the main sights, the Marché Forville offers an authentic slice of Provençal life with its vibrant displays of local produce, cheeses, and flowers. For those seeking a brief escape from the city buzz, a 15-minute ferry ride to the nearby Île Sainte-Marguerite reveals a tranquil island of pine forests and secluded coves, famous as the historic prison of the 'Man in the Iron Mask.' Cannes is less about a checklist of museums and more about immersing yourself in its sophisticated yet relaxed seaside ambiance, perhaps with a glass of rosé at a waterfront café.

Ajaccio, Corsica, France

At Sea - Cruising

Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain

Valencia, Spain

Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona greets you with a vibrant energy, a city where the fantastical architecture of Catalan Modernisme coexists with the shadows of a deep Gothic past. Your day here is a study in captivating contrasts. The undeniable centerpiece is Antoni Gaudí's magnum opus, La Sagrada Familia. This basilica, a century-and-a-half in the making, is a breathtaking testament to faith and architectural genius that must be experienced from within to be truly understood. For more of Gaudí's dream-like vision, a stroll along the elegant Passeig de Gràcia reveals Casa Batlló, a residence seemingly sculpted from bone and mosaic.

Alternatively, lose yourself in the Barri Gòtic (Gothic Quarter), a medieval labyrinth of narrow cobblestone streets opening onto sunlit plazas. Here, the serene Cathedral of Barcelona offers a tranquil counterpoint to Gaudí's exuberance. This historic heart of the city is also a hub for unique boutiques and artisan shops. For a sensory immersion into local life, navigate the famed Las Ramblas to the Mercat de la Boqueria, a kaleidoscope of fresh produce, cured meats, and bustling food stalls.

Art aficionados can delve into the formative years of a master at the Museu Picasso, housed in a series of medieval palaces. No visit is complete without indulging in the city's culinary scene. Duck into a neighborhood bar for authentic tapas and a glass of cava, savoring the flavors that define Catalan culture. While one day is merely an introduction, it’s enough to be thoroughly enchanted by Barcelona's artistic soul and zest for life.

Toulon, France

Toulon is an authentic port city that reveals a different side of the French Riviera—one more focused on maritime tradition than on glamour. As the historic home of the French Mediterranean Fleet, its identity is deeply connected to the sea. The heart of a day visit is the bustling harbor and the adjacent Old Town (Vieille Ville). Here, narrow lanes open onto small squares with charming fountains, and the daily Provençal market on Cours Lafayette offers a vibrant immersion into local life with its produce, cheeses, and textiles.

For a deeper look into the city's naval heritage, the Musée National de la Marine is excellent. The most memorable experience, however, may be the cable car ride to the summit of Mont Faron. The panoramic view of the deep blue harbor and the surrounding coastline is spectacular. At the top, you'll also find the Mémorial du Débarquement en Provence, a museum dedicated to the Allied landings in 1944.

For a more relaxed pace, the nearby Plages du Mourillon offers a stretch of sandy beaches favored by locals. Toulon provides a genuine, unpretentious taste of a working French port city, perfect for those who appreciate history and local culture over polished tourist hubs.

Monte Carlo, Monaco

A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
Your parent or child requires hospitalization
You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more

A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable

Before and After your cruise

4 Days / 3 Nights Rome Cruise Package

★ ★ ★ ★
Hotel Barocco (or similar)

Piazza Barberini, 9 |, Via della Purificazione, 4, 00187
Roma RM, Italy

The entrance, on via della Purificazione, leads to the hotel's elegantly modest hall. A delicate fragrance greets our guests - an expression of the hotel's philosophy of hospitality. The atmosphere of this exclusive hotel is expression of elegance, discretion and comfort.

These qualities are much appreciated by our guests, among whom businesspeople, professionals, personages from the world of culture, and guests arriving from all parts of the globe to admire Rome and its attractions. The hote's location is, in itself, an invitation to explore Rome's city centre on foot and admire such sights as the Trevi fountain, the Piazza di Spagna square, the Quirinale area, and the Roman Fora. We looked to the practices of the best international hotels, and decided that Hotel Barocco, too, should become a 100% non-smoking hotel.
