Raise your glass beside the rail, as the sun sails on beyond the Costa del Sol and flames the sea in a glorious sunset. 1.

CHÁTEAUNEUF, FRANCEALHAMBRA PALACE, GRANADA, SPAIN
ENHANCE AND EXTEND YOUR MEDITERRANEAN VOYAGE with our optional shore excursions. Here is a sampling of some of our favorites.
THE ISLAND OF DELOS: A UNESCO PARTNER TOURFerry from Mykonos to Delos, sacred birthplace of Apollo and his twin sister Artemis. Uninhabited now, ruins here reveal occupations from 30th century BC. Take a guided walk in one of the most revered sites of antiquity — the Sanctuary of Apollo, Sacred Lake, Terrace of Lions, Cynthus sanctuaries, and the theater and harbor districts.
THE ALHAMBRA: A UNESCO PARTNER TOUROverlooking Granada, the 14th-century Alhambra is an exceptional example of Andalusian Islamic architecture, composed of the opulent Royal Palace, the Fortress of Alcazaba, and the Generalife Gardens, which were reputedly inspired by the Koranic description of Paradise. An expert guide will lead you on a guided tour of this masterpiece.
CHÁTEAUNEUF & AVIGNON: A UNESCO PARTNER TOURBetween the 12th and 14th-century, the seat of the Catholic Popes was relocated from Rome to Avignon in the French Rhône region. On this full-day tour, taste the wines of Cháteauneuf made famous by the Popes, and enjoy a tour of the immense Popes’ Palace at Avignon, including an exclusive escorted entry into the breathtaking, newly renovated Saint Martial Chapel.
LECCE: FLORENCE OF THE SOUTH Located in the heart of Italy’s southern Salento region, Lecce is a treasury of Baroque and Rococo architectural masterworks crafted of honey-colored local Leccese stone. Marvel at the elaborately embellished Santa Croce Basilica, the Governor’s Palace and other facades in the Piazza Duomo, and enjoy a guided tour of one of the city’s magnificent palaces.
DUBROVNIK CABLE CAR & A STROLL THROUGH THE OLD TOWN: A UNESCO PARTNER TOURDalmatia’s ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’ is a remarkably well-preserved late-medieval walled city, with beautiful Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque buildings. Survey it all on a cable car ride to the top of Srdj Hill. Then stroll from the Ploce Gate along the marble-paved Stradun, passing ancient churches and palaces to the Rupe Granary Museum, for an archaeologist-guided tour.
KAYAKING KOTOR BAY Join an expert guide on a kayaking excursion along the shores of breathtaking Kotor Bay. As you skirt the shoreline, explore rustic villages, picturesque churches and survey the towering mountain ranges from a unique perspective. Pause for a swim in an isolated cove. No previous kayaking experience is necessary, instruction and equipment are provided.
HVAR HIGHLIGHTS: A UNESCO PARTNER TOURThe enchanting island of Hvar is rich in cultural and historical monuments. Starigrad, dating from the 2nd century BC, has long inspired artists and poets. Visit the Dominican Monastery’s library, filled with priceless books and paintings. Then, at the village of Vrisnik, enjoy local brandy, dried figs, and a tasting of local, small-batch Hvar wines.
D’ALT VILA MUSEUMS & SANGRIA: A UNESCO PARTNER TOUREl Soto, atop D’alt Vila (Ibiza’s Old Town), is a beautiful, fortified town with an imposing castle, a cathedral, and stunning views of Formentera. Walk down cobblestone streets to visit the 13th-century Maria de les Neus Cathedral, Diocesan Museum and Puget Museum. Enjoy a glass of cava sangria and a snack at a tiny bistro inside the ancient walls.
