Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Barcelona
Depart 17:00
Barcelona is the city where Roman history, Gothic grandeur, and Gaudí's delirious Modernisme collide in a Mediterranean coastal capital of astonishing energy and beauty. The Sagrada Família — still under construction after 140 years — continues its audacious ascent toward completion, while the Gothic Quarter's Roman-era foundations and the Passeig de Gràcia's extraordinary concentration of Modernisme masterpieces reward days of exploration. For a complete sensory experience, lose an afternoon in the covered labyrinth of La Boqueria market before descending to the waterfront for Catalan seafood at its finest. May through June and September through October offer the most pleasant weather; the city connects directly to Paris by overnight train.
Day 2
Day 2
Palamos
Arrive 07:00Depart 17:00
Palamós is an authentic Catalan fishing port on the Costa Brava, renowned for its legendary deep-water Gamba de Palamós red prawns and a vibrant working harbor where daily fish auctions continue centuries of maritime tradition. Must-dos include the Fishing Museum, coastal walks on the Camí de Ronda, and dining on fresh-from-the-sea Catalan cuisine. May through October offers ideal Mediterranean conditions.
Day 3
Day 3
Sete
Arrive 07:00Depart 17:00
Sète is a canal-laced fishing port on France's Languedoc coast, built around the terminus of the Canal du Midi and crowned by the panoramic heights of Mont Saint-Clair. Visitors should not miss the iconic *tielle sétoise* pastry paired with Bouzigues oysters at the covered market, and the contemplative walk through the Cimetière Marin above the Mediterranean. Late spring through early autumn offers the finest conditions, with September bringing warm seas, golden light, and the spirited jousting tournaments on the canal that have defined Sète's character for over three hundred years.
Day 4
Day 4
Marseille
Arrive 07:00Depart 17:00
Founded by Greek sailors in 600 BC, Marseille is France's oldest and most viscerally alive city — a Mediterranean port where the catch is still sold from fishing boat decks at the Vieux-Port each morning beneath the golden Madonna of Notre-Dame de la Garde, gleaming on her basilica above the city. The bouillabaisse served at harbourside institutions such as Chez Fonfon is not merely a dish but a rite, its saffron-stained broth tying Marseille to its Hellenic roots. Explore the dramatic Calanques national park, a coastal labyrinth of turquoise coves just south of the city. Spring and autumn are the finest seasons.
Day 5
Day 5
Nice
Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00
The port of Nice is a vibrant gateway to the French Riviera, offering a rich tapestry of history, stunning architecture, and delectable local cuisine. Must-do experiences include savoring local specialties at the bustling Cours Saleya Market and exploring the charming streets of Vieux Nice. The best time to visit is during the spring and early fall when the weather is mild and the city is alive with cultural festivities.
Day 6
Day 6
La Spezia
Arrive 08:00Depart 20:00
Tucked at the head of a deep Ligurian harbour that Byron and Shelley named the Gulf of Poets, La Spezia serves as the ideal base for exploring the Cinque Terre — five cliff-hanging fishing villages threaded by ancient paths above a turquoise sea. The town itself rewards exploration: the Museo Amedeo Lia houses one of Italy's finest private collections of medieval and Renaissance art, and the naval museum reflects La Spezia's long maritime history. A boat excursion to Portovenere and the island of Palmaria, or a trail walk between Vernazza and Corniglia, constitutes a perfect day from port. Best visited April through June and September through October, avoiding the summer heat and peak crowds.
Day 7
Day 7
Livorno
Arrive 07:00Depart 19:00
Purpose-built as a Medici utopia in the late sixteenth century, Livorno was conceived from the outset as a city without discrimination — its founding Leggi Livornine granted equal rights to Jews, Christians, Muslims, and merchants of every nation, making it one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Renaissance Europe. Today, the Venetian-style canals of the Venezia Nuova quarter reflect colourful palazzi with a distinctly faded glamour, while the Mercato Centrale's fish counters display the cacciucco ingredients — a robust Livornese brodetto of five sea creatures — that make this port city a pilgrimage for serious eaters. Day trips to Pisa and Lucca are effortless from here. The season runs April through October.
Day 8
Day 8
Civitavecchia
Arrive 07:00
Rome's ancient maritime gateway since the Emperor Trajan commissioned its harbour in 106 AD, Civitavecchia is the natural prologue to the Eternal City — just seventy minutes southeast by express rail. The port's Renaissance fortress, designed in part by Michelangelo, anchors a working waterfront that has welcomed travellers for millennia. Beyond Rome's unmissable monuments, consider an afternoon in the Civitavecchia thermal baths, drawing on mineral waters prized since antiquity. Spring and autumn offer the ideal balance of mild weather and manageable crowds for exploring the capital's layered history.
