Cruise Details

Splendid Journey

Splendid Journey

14-day Cruise from Miami to Barcelona onboard Marina

Blissful days meld into serene nights. This exquisite crossing stands alone for its thoughtful mix of must-see destinations and relaxing days at sea. Docking for the evening at King's Wharf at the tip of hook-shaped Bermuda allows you to explore the entire island, starting at the imposing Maritime Museum, housed in a fortress right at your doorstep. History is just as revered in Tangier, a Moroccan beauty renowned for its 17th century Kasbah district of affluent residences and shops. Of course, Marina is quite the destination herself, as you will discover between ports while sailing uninterrupted across the deep-blue Atlantic. While away the hours on your private veranda, surrender to a soothing hot stone massage in the Canyon Ranch SpaClub®, or mingle with newfound friends out on deck. Every day is a joy.

16-day Cruise from Rio de Janeiro to Barcelona onboard Insignia

Unusually rich in destinations, this crossing calls on a half-dozen radiant jewels on both sides of the Atlantic. In between, shimmering like a diamond, lies Cape Verde, whose mountain-backed Porto Grande overlooks a gorgeous volcanically formed bay. Brazil flaunts its diversity in Natal, home to the star-shaped Fort of the Three Kings, and in Salvador, where you may spend the evening listening to live music in the historic town center of Pelourinho. Morocco too exudes energy, especially in its largest city of Casablanca, which feels quite European. Another wonderful highlight of this crossing is Lanzarote, the easternmost of the Canary Islands. While its landscape looks almost lunar in places, the lava-based soil is surprisingly fertile and produces fines grapes used for elegant, sweet malmseys.

Rio Rendezvous

Rio Rendezvous

18-day Cruise from Rome to Rio de Janeiro onboard Marina

It's not often that a transoceanic crossing calls on eight destinations, but then again there is nothing ordinary about this voyage, especially the experiences. While in Rio de Janeiro, enjoy dining on churrasco, a spiced beef barbecue often carved tableside from a rotisserie skewer. For an unusual glimpse into the ancient history of Cartagena, visit the Interpretation Centre, which contains remains of the Punic wall that protected the city in the 3rd century. You can literally see inside Gibraltar on a tour of the Great Siege Tunnels, which the British painstakingly cut out of the rock in the 18th century for military purposes. Even the crossing proper is uncommon as it only takes four days.

Colonial Passage

14-day Cruise from Lisbon to New York onboard Regatta

This itinerary explores Italy from all sides and calls on a few of its neighbors as well. The initial overnight stay in Venice allows in-depth exploration from the beginning, and the majority of destinations feature late evening departures, so you can linger in each intriguing port of call. See the Ancona Cathedral of San Ciriaco, dedicated to the patron saint of the city, and enjoy magnificent views from its perch on a high promontory. Climb the city walls that embrace Dubrovnik for a spectacular view of the Old Town below. You may wish to stay seaside in Sorrento and sip a limoncello or venture inland from Livorno to explore the marvels of Pisa. No matter where you choose to explore, wonders await.

14-day Cruise from Barcelona to Miami onboard Riviera

Before departing Europe for the season, this voyage lingers in Spain for days, showcasing its most alluring destinations, including the Spanish archipelago of the Canary Islands. With its haunting desert-like landscape, Lanzarote is a wonderland of rare succulents, many endemic to the island. In contrast, Santa Cruz de La Palma exudes an urban sensibility and is surrounded by fertile farmland. Still, it's Seville that takes center stage. Known for passionate flamenco, Andalusian horses and proud matadors, this inland Spanish gem has an irresistible personality boldly captured in its architecture. Seville Cathedral, the most voluminous in all of Europe, features the world's largest altarpiece, a priceless gold-covered masterpiece.
