About the cruise

Join Oriana for a mid-summer journey to see some of the best contemporary and classical destinations in the Mediterranean.[/p]

Barcelona is the place to go for fiesta fun, cutting edge fashion and fabulous architecture. Discover the works of Gaudi and art collections by Picasso and Miro. In Monte Carlo the Royal Palace is Lilliputian, the Jacques Cousteau Oceanographic Museum is splendid and the glittering Casino simply without peer.[/p]

Rome wasn’t built in a day but you can see many of its most famous sights in that time. Visit the Sistine Chapel, the Swiss Guards, the Spanish Steps and the Colosseum. And throw a coin into the Trevi Fountain to guarantee your return. Naples is packed with Italian clichés – beautifully dressed women and spotless policeman. Then there’s nearby Pompeii, Ischia and chic Capri.[/p]

Palermo is full of fine architecture, like the old city’s Baroque crossroads – Quattro Canti. And nearby there is a vast cathedral and the Capuchin Monastery with some 8,000 mummified bodies on display.[/p]

Valencia gives you an authentic look at the Mediterranean way of life. Visit the 13th century La Seo cathedral, the Gothic silk exchange and the 18th century palace of justice. In Gibraltar, see the stalactites and stalagmites of St. Michael’s Cave or take a cable car to the top of the Rock for spectacular views.[/p]
