MAY 5 – 6
Begin your extraordinary journey in the heart of Catalonia.
Arrive in Barcelona on your independent flight and meet fellow travelers
and journey staff over cocktails and dinner at the hotel. Spend the next
day on your choice of excursions in Spain’s second largest city.
Trace the influence of local architect Antoni Gaudi’s otherworldly work as
you explore several of his masterpieces. Wander through the sprawling
Parc Güell, which he originally designed as an upper-class enclave of
homes overlooking the sea. When buyers failed to materialize, however,
the private estate was purchased by the city and opened as a public park.
Visit lovely Casa Batlló, one of Gaudí’s iconic buildings, and La Pedrera,
which is now home to one of Barcelona’s most active cultural centers.
Cap your immersion in modernisme with a guided tour of the fantastic—
and still unfinished—Basilica of the Sagrada Familia.
Alternatively, experience some of Barcelona’s most vibrant
neighborhoods as you stroll the festive streets of Las Ramblas, visit the
chic seaside area of El Born and browse the wares at Santa Caterina Market, a splendid refurbishment of the city’s first covered food market.
This evening, board your private yacht and set sail for the Costa Brava.
BARCELONA,
SPAIN
ACCOMMODATIONSSituated close to Las Ramblas, El Palace Hotel offers gracious interiors and décor
reminiscent of the 1920s, when the hotel
originally opened. Elegant guestrooms

Embark on a surrealist adventure or explore the Costa Brava by kayak or bike.
This morning, arrive in the beautiful port city of Roses, which was
founded by Greek colonists more than 2,500 years ago. Upon
disembarkation, set off on your selected excursion.
Visit the fantastic Theatre-Museum of Salvador Dalí in the nearby
town of Figueres. Conceived of and designed by the artist himself, the
museum is home to some of Dalí’s most famous works as well as a
sampling from every period of the great surrealist’s career. Considered
to be Dalí’s last great masterpiece, the museum provides a unique
window into the mind of one of the art world’s most original—and most
mischievous—thinkers.
Alternatively, launch a kayak from the yacht’s unique retractable marina
to enjoy the cobalt waters of the Bay of Roses, or hop aboard a bike and
cycle through the gently rolling agricultural terrain outside Roses. If you
like to snorkel, don a mask and fins and swim through a series of natural
rock pools that provide a habitat for crabs and a variety of small fish.
Return to your yacht this evening for dinner.
Take a stroll through history in the South of France.
Upon arrival this morning in the seaside commune of Sète, disembark and
join your guide for your selected adventure.
Travel to the university town of Montpellier to visit the Château de Flaugergues,
an elegant villa constructed in the 17th and 18th centuries. The château—a
typical “folly” built by members of the new aristocracy—features a series
of elaborate gardens and a massive staircase that takes up a full third of
the building. After exploring the château, enjoy a wine tasting of varietals
made from local grapes, which have been grown here since the region was
a Roman colony.
Or explore the medieval walled city of Aigues-Mortes on a guided tour
that includes such striking landmarks as the expansive ramparts, the
Gothic Church of Notre Dame des Sablons and the Tower of Constance,
which was built to protect the town, but was eventually turned into an
infamous jail in which Louis XIV imprisoned many Protestant dissidents.
Alternatively, stay in Sète and take a gourmet walking tour of this lovely
city, which is crisscrossed by canals and linked by 12 bridges. Stop to see
the fishing boats and La Criée, the famous seafood auction house that
sells the fresh catch of small-scale fishing vessels that ply the waters of
the Mediterranean. If you’re feeling adventurous, embark on a cycling excursion. Enjoy an evening in town to sample the local shellfish, take a
stroll on the canal quays and soak up the atmosphere of this unspoiled
jewel of the Mediterranean.

Immerse yourself in the cultural pleasures of Provence.
First developed more than 2,000 years ago, Cassis continues to
entice travelers with its crisp, floral white wines, luxuriant vineyards
and charming waterfront. As you sail into the Côte d’Azur port,
admire the rocky cliffs and calanques of the coast.
Disembark and set off on a lovely drive through bucolic scenery
on your way to Aix-en-Provence, the elegant capital of the region.
Stroll the narrow cobblestone lanes of the old town, walk under the
graceful plane trees of the Cours Mirabeau and spot the famous
Deux Garçons café, which was frequented by the likes of Paul
Cézanne and Ernest Hemingway. Then, stop to visit the Cathedral of the Holy Savior, which was built on the site of a Roman forum. Don’t
miss the beautiful 16th-century tapestries on the interior of the nave,
or the cathedral’s tranquil Romanesque cloisters. Enjoy some time
to sip a café au lait, savor the leisurely pace of life in Provence and
browse the stylish boutiques before returning to the harbor.
After your adventure, head back to your yacht—gently bobbing in
the harbor—for cocktails at The Top of the Yacht Bar and a gourmet
dinner under the stars.
Spend a glorious day in this quintessential Italian Riviera resort.
Arrive this morning in the half-moon-shaped seaside village of Portofino,
its pastel houses lining the shores of the harbor. Once a Roman colony,
the city has been ruled by the English, French, Spanish and Austrians.
These days, it’s a hotspot for the rich and famous who anchor their mega-
yachts in the harbor each summer.
Disembark and learn about the role of olive oil in Italian cuisine from
the maître d’hotel of the exclusive Belmond Hotel Splendido, which
overlooks the Portofino Harbor. Afterwards, savor a delicious lunch
of Italian specialties, wine and dessert before returning to the harbor.
Alternatively, meet the chef of Belmond Splendido Mare and enjoy a
special private class in which you’ll delve into the art and science of
making a traditional Ligurian pesto, followed by lunch accompanied by
local wine.
Or, if you like, set off on a guided hike through town and out past
graceful villas, ancient vineyards and olive groves on your way to the
main promenade of Santa Margherita. Stop for a snack at a local café
and enjoy some time to explore this beautiful seaside village before
returning to Portofino.
You have the evening at leisure to indulge in some of the pleasures of
this classic seaside resort. Amble around the harbor, sip an aperitivo
as the sun goes down and dine on freshly caught seafood or Ligurian
specialties like pappardelle al Portofino, topped with shrimp or freshly
caught fish baked in bay leaves.

Live the high life in glitzy Monte Carlo.
Arrive this morning in the Principality of Monaco, a sovereign state
on France’s Mediterranean coast. Enjoy a full day and evening to
immerse yourself in the pleasures of chic Monte Carlo.
Wander through the streets of the 14th-century hilltop village of Eze before entering the villa that houses the Île de France museum,
a priceless collection of art assembled by the Baroness Béatrice
Ephrussi de Rothschild. Or spend a few hours living the life of a
Formula 1 driver as you take an unforgettable excursion through Eze
behind the wheel of a Ferrari.
If you like, take to the air for a spectacular sightseeing flight by helicopter over the glorious Côte d’Azur. After returning to land,
embark on a guided exploration of Monte Carlo’s ritziest districts. Or
visit the village of Eze and then ascend the Rock of Monaco for a
walking tour of the Old City, including the Oceanographic Museum,
the cathedral containing the tomb of Princess Grace and the
exterior of the Prince’s Palace. This evening, if you choose, dress to
the nines, sip a martini (shaken, not stirred, of course) and play a few
hands of baccarat in the Casino de Monte-Carlo.
Discover a fortified hilltop village or create your own fragrance.
Once a tiny fishing village, Cannes is now one of the most famous
cities in France. Today, embark on your choice of excursions in the
French countryside.
Drive along the scenic Middle Corniche Road, through rolling hills
and rich valleys, on your way to the enchanting fortified village of
St. Paul de Vence, one of the oldest medieval towns on the French
Riviera. Take a guided tour of some of the city’s elegant homes and
ramparts, and visit the hilltop cemetery, which is home to Russian-
French painter Marc Chagall’s simple white tomb. Later, enjoy some
time to explore the shops, galleries and cafés on your own.
Alternatively, leave the shores of the Mediterranean and travel
inland to the foothills of the Alps and Grasse, the birthplace of the
French perfume industry. At the venerated Galimard Perfumery—
established in 1747 when the Count de Galimard began to create the
first fragrances for the court of Louis XV—tour the museum and the
workshop to learn how perfume is created. Then, work with a Master
Perfumeur to choose from more than 120 essences as you design
and name your own unique fragrance.
Back in Cannes, enjoy the evening at leisure to dine and stroll the
waterfront before returning to your yacht for a final night on board.

The next morning, depart for the verdant mountains of Volcanoes National Park, home of the majestic mountain gorillas and several habituated
groups of golden monkeys. Nearly half of the 700 or so remaining
mountain gorillas in the world live in the forested Virunga Mountains that
span the countries of Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of
Congo. Mountain gorillas live in groups of up to 30 individuals led by an
alpha male, known as a silverback for the gray swath of hair that stands
out from the rest of his black coat. The adults spend much of their days
eating roots, wild celery and tree bark, while the juveniles chase each other
through the forest, climb trees and swing from branches. Accompanied
by an expert naturalist guide, hike through beautiful bamboo forest to get
up close with a family of gorillas. Spend an hour watching these peaceful
giants munch leaves, groom each other and play in the forest.

Spot big cats, crocodiles, hippos, elephants, giraffes and more in the wetlands of the Okavango Delta.
The Okavango Delta is a wetland oasis and offers a completely
different experience than the vast, dry vistas common on most East
African safaris. Your adventure starts immediately upon landing with
a game drive on the way to your remote camp. As you drive, you may
spot lions and cheetahs, as well as crocodiles and the red lechwe, an
antelope that thrives in marshlands.
Over the next two days, search for leopards, spotted hyenas, hippos, elephants, giraffes and great herds of buffalo on early-morning and
late-afternoon game drives. Return to camp each evening for a classic
sundowner, taking in the grand views with refreshments in hand.
Alternate: In the Kalahari Desert, saltpans transform the landscape
into a moon-like clay terrain where meerkats and baobab trees thrive.

African 1940s safari style, Jack’s Camp features
spacious, environmentally friendly tents with verandas
overlooking the grasslands.

above sea level. Ride a cable car to the summit and stroll along a
wooden walkway to see stunning panoramic views of the city and
the sea. Keep an eye out for the diminutive rock hyrax, a rodent-
like creature that is the closest living relative of the modern-day
elephant and manatee.
Fly by helicopter to the Cape of Good Hope, taking in the soaring
cliffs and dramatic coastal views on your way to the end of the
continent. Get up close and personal with the convivial African penguin colony among the coves of Boulders Beach. Or board

MAY 21 – 22
Indulge in a feast of the senses as you explore the twisting pathways of the medina.
The first imperial city of Morocco, Marrakech lies in the fertile Haouz plain at
the foot of the Atlas Mountains. Massive ramparts built around 1122 surround
the city, which has some of the most impressive examples of Islamic
architecture in existence. An 11th-century irrigation system is still used to
water the city’s gardens.
Perhaps the highlight of Marrakech, Jemaa el-Fna square is at the heart
of one of the most vibrant medinas in the world. This ancient walled
quarter is filled with narrow, maze-like streets crowded with merchants,
snake charmers, musicians and entertainers. In the evening, sip a sweet
mint tea while gazing out over the square as the sun descends behind the
surrounding mountains.
Explore the venerable Ali Ben Youssef Medersa, which was founded more
than 400 years ago as a center of learning in the region. Admire the grand
architectural lines of the Koutoubia Mosque and its iconic minaret. Stop
periodically in the medina to visit local craftsmen plying their traditional
trades of leatherwork, metalwork and jewelry. Shop for gold, carpets,
clothing, art and other treasures in the souks of the old city. Stroll through
the dreamlike landscapes of the Jardin Majorelle, arriving at the blue
fountain that sits at the heart of the gardens.
