Keeping it local
We’ve teamed up with locals in each of our ports to reveal sides of places you’ve yet to explore — from the people who know the destinations best.
Civitavecchia (Rome)
The seaside entryway for those headed into Rome for over 2,000 years. Its ancient ruins, baths, and museum offer your first taste of Roman culture.
Cagliari, Sardinia
A medieval hilltop town, friendly shepherds, pristine beaches, and impressive shipwrecks — this Sardinian city has it all.
Marina di Carrara
With mountains of the purest marble towering over the city, any pic taken in Marina di Carrara comes with a marvelous backdrop.
Ajaccio, Corsica
Filled with slopes and centuries worth of history, Ajaccio also boasts art (crafted both by nature or in the baroque period).
Cannes
An iconic and stunning resort destination in the French Riviera, Cannes' unparalleled natural beauty rivals the A-list celebrities who vacation here.
Valencia
Take a tour through the incredible old town tasting wine and indulging in tapas or go on an outdoor Valencia adventure.
Barcelona
More than just a late-night party town, the capital of Catalonia is full of tranquil, museum-lined mornings and afternoons sipping cava with gorgeous views of the Med.
