Western Mediterranean cruises offer the most variety of sights, attractions and activities—not to mention art and architecture, sun and sand, cafe hopping and shopping. We’ve chosen Costa Cruises for a European experience aboard ship and a fantastic itinerary that brings you to some of our favorite destinations—glamorous Monte Carlo, home of the late Princess Grace; Livorno, Italy—a Tuscan town created by the Medici, its history and traditions reflect a seafaring past. You’ll spend a full day in Sardinia, whose jagged coasts are dotted with fine sand beaches, countless inlets and some of the most beautiful seascapes in the world, especially on the Emerald Coast. The Pearl in the Gulf of Naples, charming Capri is considered by many to be among the most beautiful islands in the world; don’t miss the extraordinary Blue Grotto. Cruise south to Tunis, one of the first inhabited settlements in the Mediterranean—today this picturesque city has broad French-style boulevards lined with shady eucalyptus trees and flowering gardens. At Minorca in the Balearic Islands you’ll find small fishing villages, local markets and a museum of natural history, archaeology and art. Cosmopolitan, lively and young, the streets of Barcelona are lined with tapas bars and cafes and filled with musicians—not to be missed is Gaudi’s eccentric Sagrada Familia, the 14th-century Gothic Quarter and the Picasso Museum. To help get your land-legs back, we’ve included two nights in Barcelona before you return home. We’re all set to go, are you?
