Ports of Call
Barcelona is Spain's most exciting, flamboyant and sophisticated city. Explore the Barrio Gotico (Gothic Quarter), a 14th century maze of tiny houses, stately palaces and intriguing shops. Listen to the musical murmur of Catalan voices and watch dancers sway to the Sardana in a lively Ramblas cafe. View the winged Olympic Palace on Mont Juic Hill. See Gaudi's architectural fantasies curving over Modernisme facades in the Eixample and the soaring spires of Sagrada Familia.

Famous for its prestigious annual film festival, Cannes is also where you'll discover the beautiful architecture of the old city, treasure troves of art, some of Europe's best cuisine and most famous beaches.
Back to Top
Italy's "Eternal City" features more romance, religious art, ancient ruins and remarkable fashion than any one person can absorb. Visit the Vatican and Michelangelo's reknown masterpiece and St. Peter's Cathedral, the world's largest church. See Via Madonna del Monti, Rome's artsy SoHo, the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps.
Back to Top
Genoa, birthplace of Christopher Columbus, is also the birthplace and home of Costa Cruises. With a maritime tradition like that, it's no wonder Genoeses are fanatic about sailing and anything having to do with the sea. Take time to explore a little. Florence's Renaissance splendors are only two hours away. And just down the Ligurian coast lies the prettiest of all ports, Portofino.
Back to Top
Palermo, capital of Sicily, the most ancient island kingdom in Italy, wears a modern veneer, but just underneath you'll find the old city, teeming with life in every tiny nook and cranny. In lively cafes and shops selling pungent strings of garlic and cheeses, you'll find the Italy of old. Banks of old women dressed in ubiquitous black murmur incantations in the enormous, light-pierced cathedral. Palermo's puzzle of new and old is fascinating.
Back to Top
In Palma, they say, the sun shines every day. This sun-splashed port in the Balearic Islands is what Mediterranean vacationing is all about. Since time immemorial, the famous and not so famous have found their private paradise in Mallorca. Palma's grand cathedral presides over a wide harbor, packed with yachts, and the pretty old town, with happy fun-seekers.

Located in the center of the Italian Riviera, Savona boasts one of the best beaches in the entire region. Dating back more than 2,000 years, this is an area very rich in culture, offering a unique glimpse of Italy's Ligurian coast.
Back to Top
Tunis' white-washed, blue-shuttered buildings hide a treasure trove of Arabic and Ottoman art. Inspect illuminated manuscripts from the Koran, follow the twists and turns of the fascinating old inner city, marvel at the ornate Palace of Dar Ben Abdallah and the magnificent Mosque, whose 184 columns were "recycled" from the rocky ruins of Carthage.
