Barcelona Nov 10,
2008
depart 6PM
There's nothing quite like
Barcelona. Especially if you consider the
architecture. The city lays claim to its very own form of
Art Nouveau, known as Modernism. The Sagrada
Familia Basilica is perhaps the best example of
this beautiful and interesting brand of
architecture, with its bold color, beautiful tile-work and
swirling lines. At the same time,
many find the work at the
Picasso Museum and the cathedrals of the Gothic
Quarter equally inspiring.
Provence (Marseilles), France
Nov 11, 2008 Arrive 7A Depart 8P
Stroll the spirit and charm
of France's oldest city - along La Canabiere toward the Vieux Port where
ships have docked for more than 26 centuries, or in Cours Julien, a
large pedestrian square lined with some of Marseille's trendiest cafes
and theatres. And of course, no trip to Marseille would be complete
without tasting its most renowned dish - bouillabaisse
Nice, France
Nov 12, 2008 Arrive 7A Depart 8P
Situated at the foot of the Alps is the French Riviera city of Nice.
Once you arrive here, it will be clear why this jewel of the French
Riviera is home to some of the world's most luxurious hotels and
terraced cafés. Stroll along the ultra-famous Promenade des Anglais or
see masterpieces by Matisse, Renoir, Monet and Chagall in one of Nice's
many museums. For a true taste of Nice, sample the local favorites,
including onion, anchovy and olive tarts known as pissaladières, along
with succulent little black olives known as caillettes
Florence,
Italy
Nov 13, 2008
Arrive 7A - Depart 7P
Occupying both banks of the
Arno River and situated at the foot of the Apennine Mountains, is
Florence. Founded by Julius Caesar himself, Florence is known as the
birthplace of the Renaissance. History and art shake hands in this
picturesque land where masterpieces
like Michelangelo's David can be
seen in the city's many museums, churches and galleries.
Pisa, Italy
Both banks of the River Arno are gracious enough to share this lovely
port city. Pisa is perhaps most noted for its famous marble bell tower,
known widely as the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It's no surprise the tower is
still leaning (14 1/2 feet since 1370), considering that it resides in
the Field of Miracles, known locally as Campo de Miracoli.

Civitavecchia, Italy
Civitavecchia was settled in
108 A.D. by Emperor Trajan and has since
faithfully served as a gateway to the capital of the
Empire, Rome.
Rome, Italy
Nov 14,
2008 Arrive 7A Depart 7P
Once the center of the ancient world from which emperors ruled over
nearly all of western civilization for hundreds of years, Rome is still
considered by many to reign over all other European destinations. Here
you can breathe the air once breathed by great Roman gladiators in the
ancient halls of the Coliseum. Gaze upon the very ceilings Michelangelo
painted at the Sistine Chapel. Or visit a monument to both size and
faith, St. Peter's Basilica, the largest church ever built.
Ajaccio, Corsica
Nov 15, 2008 Arrive 7A Depart 5P
Monuments, avenues,
squares, and museums grace this charming city which fathered one
of the biggest conquerors in history. The birthplace of Napoleon
Bonaparte is an island of rocky outcroppings and sandy beaches,
set on a sunny bay surrounded by citrus groves, olive trees, and
vineyards, and bursting with history and cultural diversity.
NOV 16, 2008 "AT SEA"
Gibraltar, United Kingdom

Nov 17, 2008 Arrive 1P Depart 7P
The great Rock of
Gibraltar is a sight to behold, towering 1,400 feet above the
mouth of the Mediterranean Sea and surrounded by beautiful
countryside. Home to the semi-wild and curiously tailless
Barbary Apes, and St. Michael's cave - long believed to be
bottomless - Gibraltar is the only link between the Atlantic
Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea
Casablanca, Morocco
Nov 17,
2008 Arrive 7A Depart 9:30P
Modern-day Casablanca
retains some of the atmosphere and history of times gone by yet
is a thoroughly modern city. Frenetic yet welcoming, Casablanca
remains a lively destination. Especially in Djemaa el-Fna, the
huge square in the medina is teeming with open-air food stalls,
jugglers, storytellers and snake charmers. The architecture of
its French-colonial past can be seen in the graceful white
buildings, with their soft lines and attention to detail.

Tangier, Morocco
Nov 19,
2008
Arrive 7A
Depart 6P
If you had to describe Tangier's culture and cuisine in one world, it
would probably be "diversity." You're likely to see a little bit of
everything ? from traditional open-air markets like the Grand
Socco, to world-famous designer shops, cafes reminiscent of the
1930's and trendy discos, to swimmers, on windsurf boards and
tourists on camels. It's all here, and it's all fascinating.
