Land in France for two nights at leisure in Paris, the City of Light. See its most iconic areas, like Montmartre, landmarks such as Les Champs Elysees and, of course, the Eiffel Tower. Jump on a high-speed train to Spain and watch the charming villages of the Rhone Valley pass by. Arrive in Barcelona for a day at leisure, where you may visit La Sagrada Familia Church, Park Guell, Las Ramblas or just go to delicious tapas markets.

Embark on a 7-night cruise on Princess Cruises' Sun Princess. Step into the magnificent glass-enclosed dome, a space that is a pool by day and a stage for captivating nightly shows. Partnering with Cirque Éloize, the ship features acrobatic performances. Indulge in exceptional dining at the Main Dining Room with three stories of elegant design. Savour multicourse meals, each offering a unique and unforgettable dining experience.

Sail to elegant Gibraltar, then cruise via the Mediterranean Sea to its largest port, Marseille in France. Here, you can see the infamous Chateau d'If, the rocky prison from which Alexandre Dumas' Count of Monte Cristo escaped. Next, travel to Italy, with stops in historic Genoa, the gateway to chic Milan, and La Spezia, a step away from superb Florence and Pisa.

After all that art, ensure you experience wine sold through a window; see Caffe Gilli, in business since 1733; and visit the Central Market because Florence is also a foodie’s heaven. 

Travel to Venice, a city of more than 100 islands connected by bridges and filled with Gothic and Renaissance buildings. Besides the Ponte di Rialto and St Mark’s Basilica, the Teatro La Fenice is a sight to behold, and the island of Murano is worth visiting for its quality glasswork.
