Cruise Description

11 Night Cruise sailing from Rome to Lisbon aboard Crystal Symphony.

Sail across the Mediterranean to experience the good life the European way, starting in Rome and making our first call in Livorno (Tuscany), close to the famed UNESCO site, The Tower of Pisa. Next, sail along the French Riviera to Villefranche-sur-Mer and Marseille. Spain follows with the vibrant Barcelona before the famed islands of Ibiza and Malaga with their secret craggy alcoves. Finally, Casablanca in Morocco adds a different flavor before finishing the journey up in Lisbon, Portugal.

Highlights of this cruise:

Rome
Venture through Civitavecchia, noted for its fine seafood and beautiful monuments. Then, travel to the Eternal City of Rome, with more than 2,500 years of history and ancient landmarks that will leave you with memories for a lifetime.

Marseille
Marseille is France`s oldest city and one of the Mediterranean`s premier ports. Amid the big-city bustle, the old port is a quaint landscape of historic charm: colorful fishing boats sail past the imposing Fort Saint-Jean, narrow streets wander among ancient churches and cobbled squares, while the venerable Basilica overlooks the scene from the hilltop above.

Ibiza
Flower power was once as prevalent on this “White Isle” as are today’s glitzy nightclubs, for Ibiza was a hub of hippie culture in the 1960s. But dig deeper and you’ll find a heritage more suitable for an island gem in the Mediterranean. Ibiza Town’s UNESCO-listed Dalt Vita chronicles much of this history, with monuments and architectural vestiges of nearly 1,000 years.

Gibraltar
Climb your way to the top of this legendary limestone mass. With more than 140 caves and soaring to almost 1,400 feet, there’s no question why the Rock of Gibraltar has been a staple in ancient legends.

Lisbon
Discover the world’s last colonial empire, turned bustling cosmopolitan city. Lisbon has dozens of Moorish castles, pastel buildings, and white sand beaches to explore. This Atlantic-coast city perfectly encapsulates Mediterranean charm with its wine, food, and architecture.
