Prices start at €749 per person for an inside cabin, €1,049 for an outside cabin, and €1,349 for a balcony cabin (all based on double occupancy).

The Route
Your cruise will start at the port of Savona in Italy, sailing to Barcelona, where you will have a short enough stop to visit the Gothic Quarter and Las Ramblas. After that, you will continue with a day at sea before arriving in Gibraltar, where you can take an excursion to the Rock to see the monkeys. From there, you will continue to Lisbon, where the ship will dock overnight, allowing you to explore the vibrant nightlife and enjoy Fado music in the Bairro Alto.
The final stretch of the cruise passes through Cadiz and continues to Malaga. After five days of visiting these cities, you will have a day at sea to relax and enjoy the ship, with a stop in Marseille serving as the cherry on top before disembarking in Savona.
