Barcelona, Spain 

Formerly a sleepy Spanish city, Barcelona has recently been reborn as an eclectic fusion of the modern and medieval. This coastal city exudes European charm and welcomes multitudes of travelers every year. It’s a major destination with must-see architectural gems that date back some 2,000 years. You’ll encounter fascinating examples from the Roman Empire, the Middle Ages, the Modern masters like Gaudî, and many Cataluñian greats. Outstanding art museums can be found throughout the city, proudly displaying the works of world-renowned artists and countrymen, including Goya, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalî, and Joan Miró. For a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city center, venture to the awaiting Mediterranean Sea and all the seaside has to offer. Maybe a brisk hike in the nearby forest covered Collserola Hills or the hilltop in Montjuïc with its botanical gardens is the perfect recharge for a rollicking evening in one of the premier party capitals of the world. Round out your cruise to Barcelona dining at a tapas bar and savor a variety of delicious small dishes to share—from traditional Spanish to the more innovative.
Travel Tips
1
Barcelona is a pedestrian-friendly city with plenty of public transportation options. From the Port Terminal, there is a shuttle bus service that will drop you off directly in Las Ramblas. There are hop-on, hop-off buses, bike rentals and plenty of cycle lanes, an efficient metro system, and abundant taxis and ride-hailing services. You can walk, too, but distances between neighborhoods are quite long in the heat. To visit Montjuic for the Miró Foundation and other attractions, take the scenic cable car from the port.
2
Souvenir stalls line Las Ramblas, but beware of fakes here. You’ll find much more authentic clothing and craft items in the Gothic Quarter, and quirky, boho fashions in El Born and El Raval. There’s mainstream and Spanish fashion galore around Plaça Catalunya and designer shops along chic Passeig de Gracia. Shop for food gifts in La Boqueria market, and for the best Gaudí-inspired souvenirs, the excellent gift shop at the Sagrada Familia basilica.
3
In Barcelona, the currency is the euro. You won’t have any trouble finding ATMs throughout the city. Exchange offices are typically open for later hours than banks, but you will receive a better exchange rate at most banks. There’s not a big tipping culture here, but 5% to 10% is a suitable token for good service in a restaurant. Round up the bill for taxis if paying in cash. There’s no need to tip bartenders.

Day at Sea Highlights

Naples, Italy 

Naples, Italy- Framed by Mount Vesuvius along a dramatic skyline, the 2,800 year-old port city of Naples is chock full of historical sites, churches, and museums that make it a fascinating place for you to explore. For all of Rome’s notoriety and reputation, Naples, with its historic city center deemed a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has just as many important archeological sites and landmarks. Visit the Museo Archeologico Nazionale for a world-class collection of Egyptian and Graeco-Roman artifacts. And, if you’d like to venture a little deeper on your Naples cruise, then exploring Naples from below the ground is a must. Start with a trip into the basement of the San Lorenzo Maggiore church where you’ll find a partially excavated Roman market and a little deeper, just below the Roman ruins, you’ll find remnants from the Greeks to discover. And in the region where pizza was first invented, you know the food is going to be incredible. Whether you’re looking for a thin, wood-fired Margherita pie, spaghetti alle vongole or a zeppole dusted with confectioner’s sugar, Naples and her bountiful edible treasures is sure to please. Only 35 miles down the coast, Salerno offers you a rich history, but also boasts a marvelous collection of parks, natural wonders, and unique vantage points to take in the beauty of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Two cities. One incredible stretch of Italian coastline.
Travel Tips
1
Hilly Naples is a big city and has plenty of transportation options, although you’ll find most of the big sights within walking distance of the cruise terminal. There are plenty of taxis, but beware: Neapolitan traffic is legendary. A fun way to head up into the hills is to ride the four funiculars, which have operated for more than 100 years. If you’re traveling underground, you’ll be mesmerized by the city’s metro stations turned into art galleries. Toledo and Chiaia stations are absolute must-sees. Finally, ferries buzz back and forth to islands like Capri, and there are regular trains to Pompeii.
2
Naples has some excellent shopping close to the cruise terminal, which is a 10-minute stroll from the center. Visit Galleria Umberto I for the sheer spectacle; this magnificent 19th-century neo-Renaissance arcade gives a whole new meaning to the notion of a shopping mall. For fashion brands, Via Toledo is the place to go, while Via Chiaia has more upscale labels. Spaccanapoli is lined with restaurants and smaller artisan boutiques.
3
The currency in Naples is the Euro. ATMs dispensing Euros are located around the city. Credit cards are also accepted in most places, but check beforehand if you’re buying something from a street vendor. Tipping is appreciated in Italy, though not expected. If your restaurant bill says “servizio incluso”, then a tip is included. If it says “coperto”, that’s different; it’s a cover charge for the bread and olive oil at the table. In this instance, you could leave a tip of 10 percent for good service.

Day at Sea Highlights

Florence/Pisa (La Spezia), Italy 

La Spezia, which lies between Genoa and Pisa, and is just minutes to the east of Cinque Terre-the five fishing ports that enjoy National Park status-is home to the Palio del Golfo, an annual boat race that sees the Gulf of Poets; 13 historic villages face off against one another in celebration of the annual Festa del Mare. The town also offers fantastic shopping opportunities, as well as plenty of trattorias to enjoy local, Ligurian cuisine
Travel Tips
1
There are three main methods of transportation from La Spezia to other nearby destinations. Taxi Find taxis readily available outside the terminal. Train The train system in Italy is well-equipped to get you to many locations throughout the country. The train station is located near the city center, where you can catch a train to Rome, Florence, and other parts of Italy. There is also a commuter line available if you’re trying to get to the five villages of Cinque Terre. Ferry The ferry service from La Spezia to the Cinque Terre is generally active during spring and summer. Note the ferries can have longer lines during peak times.
2
In La Spezia itself, you’ll find shops in Centro Storico, or the city center, which is walking distance from the La Spezia port. In Centro Storico you’ll find handbag stores selling handbags, leather goods,and boutiques, but more plentiful shopping opportunities await in Florence for designer and luxury items, or the villages of Cinque Terre for quaint, local goods. Note that most shops in La Spezia are closed on Sundays.
3
Italy uses the euro as its primary form of currency. ATMs are widespread, and major cards such as Visa and MasterCard are largely accepted. American Express is recognized less commonly. Some smaller shops, trattorias, and hotels prefer cash, and it’s recommended not to rely on credit cards at museums or galleries in Italy. Tipping isn’t a common practice in Italy. Tips are already included in your bill in most trattorias. Providing a tip in taxis or hotels is optional, but you can round up to the nearest euro in a taxi if you are pleased with the service. At high end hotels, tip porters about €5 for helping with your bags.

Portofino, Italy 

Stroll tiny Portofino, a perfectly poised pastel village taking refuge on its own secluded peninsula. Stop at a charming café to get a bite and watch the yachts bobbing in the harbor. Explore the seductive boutiques and art galleries that line the harbor and narrow streets. Discover historic sites like the Church of St. Martin and the Castello Brown fortress. Just down the Italian Rivera awaits Cinque Terre National Park, a seascape of fishing villages carved from the cliffs. Hike through the park on 15th-century footpaths winding through olive groves and vineyards, overlooking the sparkling Mediterranean.
Travel Tips
1
Your best bet for getting around Portofino is on two feet or taking a taxi to sites that are farther away. Part of the fun of a cruise to Portofino, Italy is ambling through town and along the riviera that promises views of boats in the harbor and tiny cafes along the waterfront. Hopping on a water taxi is also a great way to see the beauty of the town.
2
From Luxury designer boutiques lining up neatly Portofino's cobbled alleys to the small shops of local artisans, passing through the iconic souvenir shops. Portofino is the ideal place for an unforgettable shopping experience in full Italian style.
3
Use the Euro when traveling in Italy. You’ll find ATMs readily available throughout Portofino, and many establishments will take credit cards like Visa and Mastercard. It’s always helpful to carry some cash, however, in the event you want to buy a coffee or a slice of pizza from a small neighborhood joint. Tipping tends to be included in most restaurant bills, so be sure to look and see if a servicio is already on your bill for dinner. When taking a taxi, leave behind a euro or round up.

Nice (Villefranche), France 

This jewel of the French Riviera is home to some of the world's most luxurious hotels and terraced cafes. Stroll the ultra-famous Promenade des Anglais or see masterpieces by Matisse, Renoir, Monet and Chagall in one of Nice's many museums.
Travel Tips
1
From Villefranche, you can take buses to Monaco and Nice for a reasonable price. For a bit more, you can walk to the train station, where trains will whisk you away to Nice, Cannes, or Monte Carlo. Taxis are also available outside the cruise terminal building to take you where you’d like within the French Riviera. Before taking these modes of transportation, be sure you understand the bus time tables and plan accordingly so you get back to your cruise ship on time.
2
You’ll have no trouble finding shops, boutiques, and luxury brands during your port of call in Villefranche. Aside from the shops lining the promenade, you can find upscale and designer brands at Rue Massena, Rue de la Liberte, Rue Alphonse Karr, and Avenue de Suede. For more traditional souvenirs, visit the little shops near the Villefranche cruise terminal before getting back on the ship.
3
Nice and the rest of France (and Monaco) use the Euro. You can find ATM machines and money exchange bureaus throughout Nice and other cities and main towns along the French Riviera. Credit cards are also widely accepted by businesses, though it’s always wise to double check, particularly if dining or shopping at a small, family-owned restaurant or store. When it comes to tipping in Nice and surrounding areas, plan on rounding up. For example, if you order a cappuccino, leave the change or round up to the next whole figure on the bill. If dining in a restaurant, a service charge is often included in the bill, but it’s still common to leave a bit extra by rounding the bill up to the nearest whole figure. Leaving 5% to 10% of the total bill is also a good way to calculate the tip if you’re not sure rounding up is enough.

Day at Sea Highlights

Palma De Mallorca, Spain 

This island enclave is often described as a mini-Barcelona, with a Gothic feel that has overtaken centuries of Roman and Moorish culture. Visit El Baluard, the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, which was built on the site of the remnants of the 16th century Bastio de Sant Pere, or shop for bargain pearls at the city's many jewelers.
Travel Tips
1
Buses and taxis will take you from the Estacio Maritima (the cruise port) to the city center and beyond; a bus network connects the whole island. If you want to go to Sóller, check the times of the vintage train that runs from Palma and make sure the journey gets you back to the ship on time. Better still, join a shore excursion. One of the best ways to get around is by bicycle; there are bike lanes all over the city, so you won’t have to negotiate the traffic. Join a cycling tour for the best experience.
2
Palma is an excellent place for shopping. You’ll find designer stores along the posh Passeig des Born in the city center—leather purses and sandals are often a good buy. El Corte Ingles is Spain’s most famous department store; Palma has three branches, the largest on Plaza España. Beyond fashion, things to buy in Palma include cultured pearls grown on the island, olive oil and olive oil products, almonds, also grown on the island, and flor de sel salt from the local salt pans, as well as pretty, rustic pottery.
3
The currency of Spain is the Euro. Most places take credit or debit cards, but you may find cash useful for shopping in markets or leaving tips. There are ATMs all over the city. Spain doesn’t have a strong tipping culture, although 10% is normal in restaurants if service is not already included. You can round up the fare for taxi drivers and tip good tour guides 5 to 10 Euros per person.
