8. Oceania Cruises – Ancient Vignettes (10 days, Barcelona to Athens on the elegant ship the Riviera)
This amazing Mediterranean adventure takes you to Barcelona, Spain; Provence (Marseille), France; Florence/Pisa/Tuscany (Livorno), Italy; Rome, Italy; Sorento/Capri, Italy; Valletta, Malta; Santorini, Greece; Rhodes, Greece and Athens (Piraeus), Greece!
As you take in the breathtaking landscapes and historic architecture, you will easily understand why these locales have been continuously inhabited for centuries. Marvel at the panoramic views as you take the Gineste Road from Marseille to Cassis, a beautiful, romantic town at the base of a castle. Meander through the grounds at Villa San Michele, a gorgeous home-turned-museum with spectacular gardens located high above Capri. In Valletta, visit the Mosta Dome, a decorative 19th-century church that can be seen from almost anywhere on the island.
