Highlights of this cruise include:

Ft Lauderdale
There is an abundance of things to see and do in the Ft. Lauderdale area: visit the newly redesigned Ft. Lauderdale Beach and cafes, stroll the historic Riverwalk, shop the luxurious stores on Las Olas Boulevard or venture to the Everglades for an intriguing air boat excursion.

Ponta Delgada
Two lakes – one green, one blue - nestle in a volcanic crater in the Sete Cidades (seven cities) region. Scenic beauty abounds.

Lisbon
Make your own discoveries in the city that launched Magellan, da Gama and Columbus. Explore the casbah-like Alfama, the medieval Castle of St. George, the fanciful castles of nearby Sintra.

Taormina
Above the Ionian Sea and in the shadow of spectacular Mount Etna, Taormina is situated on the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea—Sicily, Italy. Home to storybook gardens, ancient monuments and preserved palaces, Taormina has something for everyone. Along the main pedestrian street, Corso Umberto, shop for Sicily’s famed ceramics, local wines and fine leather. Or simply sit in one of the open air cafès with a cappuccino and enjoy the atmosphere. Also along Corso Umberto, explore the Duomo of Taormina, built around 1400—and Chiesa Santa Caterina, built in the mid-17th century. Take in the incredible views from the Public Gardens, which are filled with fragrant exotic flowers and plants. Other stunning vistas can be found in Piazza IX Aprile, which faces the sea with Mount Etna in the background. Don’t miss the Teatro Greco, built in the third century BC, and expanded by the Romans. The views will take your breath away.

Rome
Head straight for the many treasures of Rome and the Vatican: St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel, the Colosseum and more.

Santorini
Your harbor on this island was created by a volcano in 1500 BC., and the effect is still explosive: steep cliffs rise from sea level, cubist white houses glow in the Aegean sun.

Istanbul
Known in the course of history as Byzantium and Constantinople. This city's rich past is evident in such sights as the Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace, home of Ottoman sultans.

Sevastapol
Colonized by the Greeks, this ancient town in southwestern Crimea on the Black Sea offers Old-World towers, buildings and churches.

Athens
The port of Piraeus is your gateway to the wonders of Athens, including the Acropolis, Constitution Square, Hadrian's Arch, the Olympic Stadium and more.
