Day 1: Switzerland - Genoa
Journey to Genoa. You will settle into your cabin and can explore the ship. At 17.00 h it is time to cast off, and the ship leaves port.
Day 2: Marseille
To gain a comprehensive impression of the beauty of Marseille's old town, we recommend a detour to the Rue du Panier, not far from the eastern side of the Vieux Port. Green plants, antique shop signs and wonderful restaurants make the old town what it is. Just as beautiful is the "Vieux Port", which translates as the Old Port of Marseille. It is the heart of Marseille, with many cafés and bars along the harbour quay (arrival 09.00 h / departure 18.00 h).
Day 3: Barcelona
Enjoy an exciting day in Barcelona. One of Barcelona's highlights is the monumental church of the Sagrada Família, located in the l'Eixample district. Construction of the church has been under way for 140 years. Another "must see" is Park Güell, the city's most famous park, decorated with thousands of mosaic tiles (arrival 08.00 h / departure 18.00 h).
Day 4: At sea
Take some time out and relax in the Solemio Beauty Spa, or enjoy an Aperol Spritz on Deck 18 with a wonderful view of the sea. Every evening, spectacular shows await you in the theatre: musicals, comedy shows, acrobats, games and much more.
Day 5: Cagliari
In the south of Sardinia, in the Gulf of Angels, Cagliari, a magnificent city of Carthaginian origin, offers insights into its Roman, Spanish and Savoyard past (arrival 07.00 h / departure 16.00 h).
Day 6: Naples
The city of Naples offers an exciting blend of history, art and culinary delights. From the port you have a breathtaking view of Vesuvius, which dominates the skyline, and of the coast along the Gulf of Naples. Food plays a central role in Naples; pizza was invented here, so you should definitely treat yourself to a genuine Neapolitan pizza (arrival 08.30 h / departure 17.00 h).

From the old port of Civitavecchia, you reach the heart of Roman and Etruscan civilisation (arrival 08.00 h / departure 18.30 h).
