It's a land of dreams. Of castle and castanets. Crusaders and conquerors. Where gnarled olive trees reach towards a brilliant sun and powder sand beaches are spun upon a never-ending coastline. It's the seven hills of Lisbon, where each relates a fascinating tale of Moorish invaders, Spanish raiders and Portuguese princes.

Nothing stirs the imagination like the Mediterranean. Echoes of past glories are everywhere from the Colosseum in Rome to the ruins of Athens, Pompeii and Ephesus. On Venice, Barcelona and Istanbul, enjoy sightseeing and shopping. And Florence, Capri and Monte Carlo are jewels no true romantic should miss. How can you possibly resist?

Typical Ports of Call: Athens, Greece; Barcelona, Spain; Ephesus and/or Istanbul, Turkey; Venice, Florence and/or Pisa, Italy; Monte Carlo, Monaco; Naples/Capri, Italy.
