Barcelona A Civitavecchia (Rome)

Discover the whimsical art of the city's most famous architect, Antonio Gaudí, during this scenic, half-day sightseeing tour of Barcelona.

Depart the pier for the drive through the centre of the city towards the north and Colonia Güell.

Colonia Güell

A jewel of modernism still relatively unknown to the big public, Colonia Güell remains today as one of the most secret treasures of Catalan architecture genious Antoni Gaudí. Conceived as an industrial village to accommodate factory workers, Gaudi was in charge of building the church of the installations and even though the temple remained unfinished, the crypt is considered a culminating point of his works: the construction including for the first time practically all of his architectural innovations. After a guided visit, your tour continues on with a visit to the Church of the Holy Family, or, 'La Sagrada Familia'.

La Sagrada Familia

This monumental but unfinished church is Gaudí's most famous masterpiece. Its towering spires are Barcelona's most prominent landmark. Many of the steeples Gaudí envisioned have not yet been built, and much of the structure is still exposed to the heavens. Take a walk around this unfinished church on an exterior visit for photos before continuing your drive through the Eixample District.

Eixample District Tour

The Eixample District is home to some of Barcelona's most stunning examples of Modernist architecture, especially along the elegant Passeig de Gracia. Important buildings such as the Pedrera House, the Batllo House and the Ametller House line this impressive thoroughfare.

Casa Batlló

Next, a visit is made to Casa Batlló. Originally a residence of a wealthy industrialist, Gaudí completely renovated the building between 1904 and 1906, and its façade is unsurpassed in the entire city. There are no corners; even the walls are rounded and the tile roof depicts the back of a dragon. Your guided walking tour of this Gaudí masterpiece includes the impressive main floor and rooftop, which features whimsical chimneys and offers spectacular views over the city.

Following your visit, re-board your coach for the return drive to the pier.

Following a relaxing stop at a café for refreshments, return to Calvi aboard your coach.

Please note: This tour requires little activity and is ideal for guests with walking difficulties, guests must access steps on/off coach.

The area of Calvi, in northwest Corsica, boasts over 600 miles (966km) of coastline and in such a small place in the world holds the rich history of famous men. Discover, according to legend that Christopher Columbus came from Calvi, which was at the time part of the Genoese Empire. The anarchist uprising against the Genoese was led by Pascal Paoli from 1729 to 1768. Admiral Nelson lost his right eye at Calvi during the siege of the citadel. Even Napoléon Bonaparte was to be kept at bay by the British with the use of a Corsican defensive measure, while Napoleon was successively both ally and enemy of Pasquale Paoli and Horacio Nelson.

Calvi's Citadel

From the port area, walk to the house in which lived the discoverer of the New World, Christopher Columbus. It is still visible today but in a poor state. Near the citadel a plaque states that Columbus was born in Calvi around 1436. This conviction relies on the oral tradition, still very vivid in Corsica, according to which Columbus was the son of a fisherman living in the times when Calvi was ruled by the Genoese. The advocates of this theory note that Columbus gave his discoveries the names of Corsican villages like Haiti, inspired from the village of Aiti. They add that Columbus hid his Corsican origins from his Spanish supporters, because Calvi inhabitants had massacred a regiment from Aragon in 1421.

Ile Rousse

Board your coach and drive to Ile Rousse, a second important town of the region, and learn about Pasquale Paoli, contemporary to Napoléon who became his enemy. Filippo Antonio Pasquale di Paoli was a Corsican patriot and leader, the president of the Executive Council of the General Diet of the People of Corsica. Paoli designed and wrote the Constitution of the state. Following the defeat of Corsican forces at the Battle of Ponte Novu, he was forced into exile in Britain where he was a celebrated figure. He returned after the French Revolution which he was initially supportive of and later broke with the revolutionaries and helped to create the Anglo-Corsican Kingdom which lasted between 1794 and 1796. After the island was re-occupied by France he again went into exile in Britain where he died in 1807. The American Sons of Liberty were inspired by Paoli. Ebenezer McIntosh, a leader of the Sons of Liberty, named his son Paschal Paoli McIntosh in honor of him. In 1768, the editor of the New York Journal described Paoli as "the greatest man on earth". Many places in the United States are named after him. Inhabited since very ancient times (between 5000-3000 BC), l'Île-Rousse was in 1000 BC a small, prosperous town dependent on Tyre in Phoenicia, called Agilla. Destroyed by the Phoenician fleet of Calaris, Agilla came under Roman rule as Rubico Rocega (red rock) until the 4th century AD.

Continue towards Notre Dame de la Serra a take this opportunity to learn about the battles of Nelson. The loss of sight in his right eye at the Seige of Calvi was at the origin of Nelson's ability to claim at the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801 why he disobeyed orders (not for the first time in his life) and went on to a resounding victory. Discover a small chapel surrounded by a courtyard with an imposing statue of the Notre Dame de la Serra. From here, a stunning panoramic view takes in the whole bay of Calvi and the Réginu Valley.

You will also learn that ironically Napoleon was to be kept at bay by the British with the use of a Corsican defensive measure and he was successively both ally and enemy of Pasquale Paoli and Horacio Nelson.

Calvi, Scenic Drive, Winery Visit

Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately 30-minute drive to a winery created in the 1960s by Baron Henry Louis de La Grange, owner of the Convent of Alzipratu. This winery was run by Maurice Acquaviva before being taken over by his son, Pierre, and his wife, Cécilia.

Vineyards, Mount Grossu

The approximately 99-acre (about 40-hectare) vineyard is composed of several south-facing parcels, and split into two different parts. The first is located north of the convent, near Zilia, and the second is situated approximately 6.2 miles (about ten kilometres) west of the village of Calenzana, in the upper-Figarella Valley. The vineyards are planted primarily with traditional Corsican varietals. The vines lie at the foothills of Mount Grossu, whose peak towers approximately 6,398 feet (about 1,950 metres) above sea level and is just minutes from the coastline. This results in highly-contrasted climatic influences, thanks to the vineyard's proximity to both the sea and the mountains.

Experience the rich traditions of wonderfully old-fashioned seaside resorts that string along the eastern half of the Italian Riviera where palm fronds wave along esplanades. Get up close and personal with two of the best-known resorts of the region during this scenic, half-day visit to Rapallo and Santa Margherita.

Portofino and the Tigullio Gulf are world-renowned symbols of Italy. The coast is a sequence of fashionable resorts with marinas, pastel-coloured houses, first-rate sports facilities and the seductive atmosphere of la dolce vita. However, visitors to the area are perhaps most enamoured by the beautiful seascapes. Suspended between the intense blue of the sea and the green mountains, they offer some of the most celebrated views in Italy.

After tendering ashore, meet your guide and walk to the motor launch, then embark your boat and proceed for a coastal cruise to Rapallo.

Rapallo

This charming town on the Italian Riviera features a gracious old seaside and port highlighted by the remains of its Medieval and Renaissance-style architecture. Most of the town follows the sweep of the pretty harbour guarded by a medieval castle, and the gracious seafront promenade bustles day and night. In the early-20th century, writers visiting this picturesque locale were inspired by the bay's extraordinary beauty. Max Beerbohm lived in Rapallo for the second half of his life, Ezra Pound wrote the first part of his Cantos here between 1925 and 1930, and D.H. Lawrence and Ernest Hemingway also took up residence here.

Following your guided walking tour, some free time is made available to explore this port town at your leisure, or relax at a café and watch the people and boats pass by.

Santa Margherita

Next, embark the boat and continue your coastal cruise to Santa Margherita, a truly charming and relaxing place to visit. Along with Rapallo, it is among the best-known resorts of the Italian Riviera. Upon arrival in Santa Margherita, depart the motor launch and proceed to the downtown area for a visit to the Santa Margherita di Antiochia Basilica, also known as 'La Madonna della Rosa'. The church honours the legend of a sailor who, during the middle Ages, brought a sculpture of the Virgin Mary with a rose in her right hand and Jesus on her left arm here.

Following your guided walking tour, some free time is made available to stroll about the seafront promenade, browse the boutiques of the pedestrian centre, or sip a refreshing Campari or cappuccino at one of the many bars facing the sea, before embarking your boat for the cruise back to Portofino.

Upon arrival, tender back to the ship.

Please note: This tour is guided in Spanish. This tour requires a moderate amount of walking, with a narrow ramp that must be negotiated in order to embark and disembark the motor launch. Therefore, this tour is not recommended for guests who utilise a wheelchair; however it is suitable for those guests with limited mobility.

Experience the splendid coastal beauty and medieval landmarks along the Italian Riviera during this memorable tour of San Fruttuoso and Camogli.

After tendering ashore, meet your guide and walk to the motor launch, then embark your boat and proceed for a coastal cruise to San Fruttuoso Bay.

San Fruttuoso

A deep inlet along the coastline of the Portofino Promontory between Camogli and Portofino is home to the famous medieval abbey of San Fruttuoso di Capodimonte, located in the fishing village of the same name. After its initial monastic use, the complex at San Fruttuoso di Capodimonte served as a humble home for fishermen, a den for pirates and later the property of the Doria Princes for centuries.

The monumental San Fruttuoso Abbey comprises the church, which is located at the end of a narrow valley. The small, two-level cloisters between the church and the Abbey feature an open area in the centre flanked by the monks' cemetery to the east, the tombs of the Doria family to the west and the Gothic Abbey facing towards the sea.

The first community of devotees of the martyr from Tarragona settled in this small bay at the beginning of the 8th century, and built a church that repelled Saracen raids until the 10th century. The abbey reached its greatest splendour in the 15th century. It has been the main political and economic centre of the promontory until the last century, and influenced the organisation of the territory, agricultural system and fishing economy.

Following your inside visit to the abbey, embark the boat for another brief cruise to Camogli.

Camogli

Camogli is a small Italian fishing village located on the Italian Riviera. The name of the village means 'house of wives', because the coloured faces of the beach houses were useful in helping guide fishermen back to shore, even in bad weather. Upon arrival, disembark your boat and commence your walking tour of this wonderful small town. Its houses are clustered together above the sea, and feature brilliantly-painted trompe l'oeuil, with fake windows, balustrades and more.

For some time, tourist activities have replaced old and deeply-rooted traditions that began to decline at the end of the 19th century. However, this process did not prompt rampant modern development in Camogli. The village has retained its unique structure, along with the extraordinary environmental elements that make it a splendid attraction to this day.

Following a walking tour of Camogli, embark your boat for the approximate 40-minute return cruise to Portofino. During the coastal cruise back to Portofino some focaccia bread with a glass of local wine will be served.

Upon arrival in Portofino tender back to the ship at your leisure.

Please note: This tour requires a moderate amount of walking, with a few steep steps that must be negotiated in order to embark and disembark the motor launch. The entrance to the San Fruttuoso Abbey requires walking over gravel surfaces, and the inside visit of the abbey includes many uneven steps to climb. This tour is not recommended for guests with limited mobility and guests who utilise a wheelchair. Operation of this tour is dependent upon sea and weather conditions. A strict dress code is enforced when visiting the abbey; short pants and tank-tops are not permitted. The time spent at certain venues may be extended or reduced, and other brief stops may be added.

Indulge your senses with the alluring beauty and delightful flavours of Portofino during a scenic sightseeing tour and lunch in this wonderful port city.

After tendering ashore, meet your guide at the pier and walk to the Piazzetta. Portofino is very small, and the quaint streets leading up from the harbour of this tiny paradise can be explored in very little time.

Church of St. George

From the Piazzetta, take a very pleasant walk from the harbour, then ascend a series of steps en route to the Church of St. George. Dramatically perched on the narrow neck of the Portofino headland, the church features a cool, plain interior, and offers picturesque views of your surroundings, including the lighthouse that dominates the entire promontory.

Castello Brown

Leaving the church, proceed for a tasting of fine Italian food and wine at Castle Brown, an imposing building dominating the harbour. After its wartime use had concluded, Montague Yeats Brown of the British Consul purchased the castle in 1867. Brown converted the structure into the charming dwelling you see today. Upon entering the terraced gardens, take in wonderful panoramic views over Portofino from this breath-taking setting.

Next, Guido Porrati, an Italian food and wine expert, and his chef lead a memorable tasting experience that emphasises the richness and variety of the Italian cooking tradition. Your entertaining food and wine experience is conducted in English, and includes enthralling stories about local traditions, anecdotes, myths and legends. Every single ingredient and dish offered is introduced in an engaging, lively style so you can appreciate their flavour, value and history. Tasting glasses are used to ensure the best wine experience.

Piazzetta

Following this memorable culinary and wine-tasting experience, some free time is made available for you to stroll about the charming harbour-side Piazzetta, or relax at one of the cafés with a drink and watch the people and boats pass by.

At the conclusion of your visit, return to the pier and tender back to the ship.

Please note: This tour requires an extensive amount of walking over cobblestone surfaces, with approximately 80 steps to negotiate in order to reach the Brown Castle. This tour is not recommended for guests with limited mobility or guests who utilise a wheelchair. The time spent at certain venues may be extended or reduced, and other brief stops may be added.
