Detailed Itinerary

Day-by-day description of your cruise and cruise activities.

Day 1 - September 11, 2026

Barcelona

The old meets the new in this sunny Catalan metropolis, where narrow alleyways contrast with grand boulevards, trendy cuisine meets homemade tapas, and everywhere you&rsquo;re greeted by the warm, welcoming smiles of the fashionable locals. Don&rsquo;t miss UNESCO sites like the mind-boggling architecture of Antoni Gaudí or La Sagrada Familia Cathedral, with its eight decorative spires soaring hundreds of feet into the sky.

Day 2 - September 12, 2026

Palamos

Palamos is famous for the locally caught prawns found in the beautiful bay it sits beside, also known for the excellent swimming, surfing, snorkeling and windsurfing there. Here is the place to try fresh local Catalan cuisine. Two great highlights near Palamos are the Dali Museum, located in his home town of Figueres, and the UNESCO city of Girona, with its medieval architecture, walled Old Quarter and the Roman remains of Forca Vella Fortress.

Day 3 - September 13, 2026

Sanary-sur-Mer

France&rsquo;s sunniest city, located on the French Riviera, was originally a small fishing village and still is adorned by a large collection of traditional wooden fishing boats. This is the home of a group of local artisan fisherman who sell their catch daily on the pier and where Jacques Cousteau had a residence, the Villa Baobab.

Day 4 - September 14, 2026

Monte Carlo

Glide into port in one of Europe&rsquo;s most exclusive harbors. Mingle with other privileged yachtsmen or step ashore and start walking. The glittering Grand Casino, legendary for its exotic setting on screen and off, is a must see, as is the royal family&rsquo;s palace and the tomb of Philadelphia-born Princess Grace in the Cathedral.

Day 5 - September 15, 2026

Cannes

Spend a day wandering among the rich and famous in the chic epicenter of the French Riviera &mdash; a world of exclusive boutiques, palm-fringed boulevards, sun-drenched beaches, and elegant sidewalk cafés. Be sure to visit the Avenue of the Stars, where you can place your hands in the prints of international celebrities. An optional escorted walking tour guides you through the best of this extraordinary and stylish city.&nbsp;

Day 6 - September 16, 2026

Portofino

With its golden ochre and terracotta buildings, designer shops, and chic cafés, Portofino represents the height of Italian artistry and sophistication. Sip a cappuccino along the fabled marina or enjoy a day of shopping in one of the town&rsquo;s tempting little boutiques. As you look out over the harbor from the famous Hotel Splendido, it&rsquo;s hard not to admire the sleek, streamlined beauty of your Windstar ship.

Day 7 - September 17, 2026

Portoferraio

Pine-scented forests and miles of sandy beach await your arrival on the tranquil island of Elba. Enjoy a glass of local Moscato with the fresh catch of the day before pondering your next move. Perhaps you&rsquo;ll visit the nearby countryside with its small fishing villages and dramatic mountain passes. Or see the calming beauty of Tuscan Archipelago National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. &nbsp;Or maybe you&rsquo;ll decide to walk to the nearest beach and dip your toes into the warm Mediterranean.

Day 8 - September 18, 2026

Porto Ercole

One of Italy&rsquo;s best secrets and the gateway to Tuscany is charming Porto Ercole with its spectacular sunsets and lovely beaches with amazing snorkeling and diving spots. It is highly encouraged that you find Pizza Grano for an unforgettable slice of pizza and take a stroll on the seaside promenade full of restaurants, artisan shops and fresh seafood.

Day 9 - September 19, 2026

Rome

In this enchanting city the past and present intersect in perfect harmony. Casually intermingled among ancient ruins and majestic cathedrals are the trappings of a modern metropolis: Skyscrapers,cafes, boutiques selling designer footwear. But of course what you seek first in the heart of Rome is its breathtaking history. &nbsp;A good place to begin is the Vatican, with its Sistine Chapel and St. Peter&rsquo;s Basilica. Works by Bernini, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, and Raphael are just a few of those on display, any one of which is worth hours of contemplation. Then the ancient ruins&mdash;Colosseum, Forum, Circus Maximus. And of course the Trevi Fountain for the obligatory coins promising your return to the Eternal City.
