Flanked by two big-hitting cities, this eight-night cruise meanders from Monaco to the Balearic Islands before arriving on the coast of Spain. We start with an overnight in Monte Carlo, ample time to roll the dice in the world-famous casino. Next, we sail southwest along the French Riviera to ritzy Cannes, to follow in the footsteps of movie stars along the promenade and sample the food of a Michelin-starred chef. Onward to Toulon for fine art and fine sands before a leisurely day at sea on our way to Spain's Balearic Islands. At Palma de Mallorca tours range from walking around the city to kayaking along the coast, while yoga sessions are on offer in Castellon. Northwards now to the Spanish mainland for an overnight in our final destination, the lively Catalan port of Barcelona.
