Crystal Symphony, 10 Night Europe & Mediterranean ex Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy to Marseilles, France

This captivating 10-night cruise from Rome to Marseille visits some true gems of the Mediterranean in the ebbing light of the October sun. First, we trace the Italian coast south, calling at Sorrento, fragranced by the lemon groves, and the pastel-colored town of Amalfi, perched above the blue-green waters of the Med. Over now to Palermo in Sicily to see a dazzling array of architecture that dates back to Byzantine times and beyond. We next cross to Tunis in North Africa, where Maghreb flair meets French style, and an overnight stay brings the opportunity for a trip to explore the nearby UNESCO site of Carthage. Next, enjoy a leisurely sea day as we make our way to Barcelona, where we have another overnight so you can make the most of this buzzing city, discovering its art, architecture, shopping, and lively tapas bars, or visiting the nearby cava-producing vineyards of Penedès. Our final stop is France’s oldest city, Marseille, which combines quaint port life with modern urban bustle.

It begins the moment you embark. An immersion into luxurious wonder. An extraordinary sense of well-being. The Crystal Symphony is one of the most spacious and luxurious cruise ships at sea. Onboard amenities feature grand lounges, a full-service fitness facility, exciting casino, a lavish spa, expansive decks, a swimming pool with an extra-large Jacuzzi, award-winning cuisine and entertainment. To top it off, exquisitely-appointed staterooms, more than half of which offer private verandahs. Considered to be the finest shipboard staff afloat, it is their goal to anticipate your every need and to make this a vacation to remember.
