Notable for its variety, this outstanding voyage presents a port a day, each one with its own personality. Palma de Mallorca’s proud Moorish heritage comes to light in its medieval quarter and austere Almudaina Palace, which perches on an escarpment outside the city walls. France’s indomitable joie de vivre shines brightest on the beaches, especially gems such as Plage des Graniers in Saint-Tropez. Italy flaunts its multi-faceted western coast for nearly a week in cities that include pastel-colored Portofino and vibrant Livorno, the gateway to historic Pisa and legendary Florence, two favorite excursions that never fail to amaze. This cruise also calls on Sardinia’s celebrity retreat of Porto Cervo, a meticulously manicured village dotted with pale pink and red villas and exquisite shops.
