Crown jewel of the visit is the Acropolis, the ancient citadel rising above the city and home to the Parthenon, Erechtheion and Temple of Athena Nike. Spend time at the Acropolis Museum at the base of the hill, wander the Plaka neighbourhood with its tavernas and souvenir shops, and visit Syntagma Square to see the changing of the Evzone Guards. The Ancient Agora and the Temple of Olympian Zeus complete a classical Athens day.
Arrive at Santorini, the caldera island formed by one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history. Sun Princess anchors in the caldera, with a water shuttle (tender) into the port of Skala. From there, take the cable car or donkey path up the cliff face to the clifftop village of Fira. Spend the day exploring the blue-domed churches of Oia at the northern tip of the island, sampling Santorini's famous Assyrtiko white wines at a clifftop winery, or relaxing at one of the volcanic black sand beaches at Kamari or Perissa.

Optional excursions head inland to the historic capital of Cetinje or up to Skadar Lake National Park.
Arrive in Corfu Town, the elegant capital of this Ionian island with a distinctive Venetian, French and British heritage. The Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its narrow lanes, Venetian fortresses, French-built Liston arcade and British colonial buildings.

Arrive in Messina on the north-eastern tip of Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean. The city sits across the Strait of Messina from the toe of mainland Italy, with views across to Calabria and on a clear day all the way to Mount Etna. Visit Messina's Norman cathedral with its astronomical clock, the largest in the world. Most travellers use Messina as the gateway to the hilltop town of Taormina with its Greek theatre overlooking Mount Etna and the Ionian coast. Optional excursions reach Mount Etna itself, Europe's most active volcano.
A day at sea as Sun Princess cruises west across the Tyrrhenian and Balearic Seas toward Spain.
Arrive in Barcelona, the Catalan capital and one of Europe's great cities. The day is best spent on the trail of Antoni Gaudi, whose masterpieces include the still-rising Sagrada Familia basilica, Casa Batllo, Casa Mila and the colourful Park Guell. Walk Las Ramblas, the famous boulevard linking Placa Catalunya to the harbour, and stop at La Boqueria food market for tapas and Spanish cured meats. The Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic) offers medieval lanes, the cathedral and the Picasso Museum. Finish on Barceloneta beach for a paella lunch with a view.
Arrive in Ibiza in the Balearic Islands, famous for its summer party scene but with a much quieter and more historic side. Visit Dalt Vila, the UNESCO World Heritage fortified Old Town crowning a hill above Ibiza Town, with its Renaissance walls, cathedral and panoramic views. The hippy markets of Las Dalias and Punta Arabi remain a colourful tradition from the island's bohemian heritage, and Ibiza's beaches and coves around Cala Salada and Cala Comte are some of the most beautiful in the Mediterranean.
A day at sea as Sun Princess cruises north toward the south coast of France and the gateway to Provence.
Arrive in Marseille, France's oldest city and a vibrant Mediterranean port. Visit the Vieux-Port (Old Port) lined with cafes and bouillabaisse restaurants, climb to the Basilica Notre-Dame de la Garde for panoramic views over the city and harbour, and wander Le Panier, Marseille's oldest neighbourhood with its artisan shops and street art. Optional excursions head into Provence to Aix-en-Provence with its tree-lined Cours Mirabeau and Cezanne's studio, the lavender fields and hilltop villages of the Luberon, or the historic city of Avignon with the famous Pont d'Avignon and the Palace of the Popes.
Arrive in Ajaccio on the west coast of Corsica, France's mountainous Mediterranean island and the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte. Visit Maison Bonaparte, the family home where Napoleon was born in 1769, the Imperial Chapel where members of the family are buried, and the cathedral where Napoleon was baptised. The town offers a beautiful palm-lined seafront, the lively Marche Central food market, and easy access to the Sanguinaires Islands by boat. Inland, the dramatic Corsican mountains rise quickly from the coast for those wanting a longer drive.
Town is one of the largest medieval centres in Europe with its narrow caruggi alleyways, the lavish Palazzi dei Rolli (UNESCO World Heritage) of the Renaissance merchants, and the harbourfront with the Aquarium of Genoa. Most travellers head south by train or coach to the famous Cinque Terre, the five colourful cliff-hugging fishing villages of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, connected by hiking trails and a coastal train.
Arrive in La Spezia, the Italian Riviera port that is the gateway to Tuscany. Two great Tuscan day-trip options open up from here. Florence (about 2 hours by train) is the cradle of the Renaissance, with the Duomo, Uffizi Gallery, Michelangelo's David at the Accademia, the Ponte Vecchio and the Boboli Gardens. Pisa (about 1 hour) offers the Leaning Tower at the Piazza dei Miracoli alongside the cathedral and baptistery. La Spezia itself also serves as a second gateway to the Cinque Terre for those who missed it from Genoa.
After breakfast on board, Sun Princess arrives back in Civitavecchia and your 21-night Mediterranean cruise comes to a close. Disembark the ship and make your way back to your Rome hotel where you check in for the first of two post-cruise nights. The rest of the day is at leisure to continue exploring Rome with fresh eyes after the cruise, perhaps revisiting your favourite sights or finally crossing off ones you missed pre-cruise. Tonight, find a local trattoria for a Roman saltimbocca, abbacchio or a final bowl of cacio e pepe.
Special Information:
Transfer from Civitavecchia Port to your Rome hotel is not included; Civitavecchia is approximately 80km from central Rome (1 hour 15 minutes by road, 1 hour 15 minutes by direct train). Port transfers can be booked separately via Traveller Hub.
After breakfast, your final full day in Rome is at leisure. Take a guided tour of the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel if you haven't already, climb the dome of St Peter's Basilica for one of the best views in Rome, visit the Borghese Gallery and Gardens in the city's green heart, or simply linger over a long lunch in Trastevere or Monti. The Galleria Doria Pamphilj, Capitoline Museums and Castel Sant'Angelo are all worth the time. Tonight, enjoy your final dinner in the Eternal City before flying home tomorrow.
After breakfast, check out of your hotel and make your way to Rome Fiumicino Airport for your included international flight home . Settle in for the journey home as you reflect on six countries, a dozen iconic ports and the great cities of the Mediterranean.
Customers who selected the optional Singapore or Hong Kong stopover will overnight in their chosen city on the way home.

We strongly recommend all travellers have a policy that also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage or personal effects. For international tours, you will be asked by your tour leader for your travel insurance details if they were not already added to your Traveller Hub account pre-departure.
If you have credit card insurance your Inspiring Vacations tour leader or local guide may require details of the participating insurer/underwriter, the level of coverage, policy number, and emergency contact number rather than the bank's name and your credit card details.
