Itinerary:

Day 1 Barcelona, Spain: Barcelona is located in the northeastern part of the country, 90 miles south of the French border. People from all around the world enjoy visiting this city for its individuality, cultural interest and physical beauty. When Hans Christian Andersen visited in 1862, he remarked that Barcelona was the "Paris of Spain." You're likely to agree. The city is a major cultural center with a fascinating history. Everywhere are archives, libraries, museums and buildings of interest - plus superb examples of modernist and Art Nouveau décor and architecture.

Day 2 Cannes (Monte Carlo) France: Welcome to the French Riviera. Once a small fishing town owned by monks, Cannes is now home to all the glamour of the International Film Festival and hosts a multitude of major festivals and conferences each year. Up the coast is Nice, the capital of the Riviera that lies along the brilliant Bay of Angels. Monte Carlo is located in the Principality of Monaco, north of Nice on the Mediterranean Sea. Luxury hotels, a magnificent casino, the Formula One Grand Prix and home to royalty for centuries, Monte Carlo is a region rich in history, culture and beauty. Bienvenu!

Day 3 Livorno (Florence/Pisa) Italy: Livorno, in the Tuscan region of Italy, is ideally located for exploring some of the most beautiful cities in Italy, including Florence and Pisa. Florence is most noted as the birthplace of the Renaissance. Highlights include impressive piazzas and an incomparable 15th-century skyline - sure to offer charm and an unforgettable experience to any visitor.

Day 4 Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy: Civitavecchia is the gateway to all the magnificence of the ancient city of Rome. Whether it's the Forum, the Sistine Chapel, the Pantheon or St. Peter's Basilica that sparks your interest and intellect, Rome is home to a lifetime's worth of historical, architectural and spiritual sites. Depending on traffic, the drive from Civitavecchia to Rome takes approximately an hour and a half.

Day 5 Leisurely day at sea

Day 6 Venice, Italy: Composed of 117 islands in the Venetian Lagoon and held together by a series of canals, Venice is like no other city in the world. Established more than 1,000 years ago by seafarers and Roman refugees, this magnificent city continues to be the heart of Italian culture as well as a mecca for hopeless romantics.

Day 7 Venice, Italy

Day 8 Split, Croatia: Split is one of the Adriatic's most amazing seaports and Croatia's second-largest city. Not only does this 1700-year-old harbor have its share of historic monuments, museums and galleries but from here you can visit dreamy Adriatic islands, sporting some of the world's best beaches.

Day 9 Leisurely day at sea

Day 10 Tunis, Tunisia: This storied capital city, punctuated by a walled medina of labyrinthine alleys, covered passages and several hundred palaces, mosques, mausoleums and fountains, will instantly capture your imagination. If the walls of the medina could talk, they would tell tales of one conquest after another - Berber, Phoenician, Roman, Arab, Turkish and French -dating back to the 2nd millennium BC. Modern-day Tunis is a lively melding of its culturally rich past, complete with Roman ruins, charming colonial-era architecture and a boisterous central bazaar.

Day 11 Leisurely day at sea

Day 12 Barcelona, Spain : Say goodbye to a vacation filled with fond memories.
