The ship sets sail from Barcelona on May 12 after enjoying a luxurious pre cruise night courtesy of Oceania Cruises. Our ports of call in France include: Sanary-sur-Mer, Marseilles and Saint Tropez. The port calls are more than 12 hours each giving the gourmet more than enough time for personal exploration. Monte Carlo, is the jet-set capitol of the Mediterranean. In port until 11pm; giving you the opportunity to visit the world famous casino and dine ashore. Our Italian ports of call are nothing short of breathtaking. A full day in Portofino to explore the quaint cobbled lanes and yacht filled harbor. Only Oceania offers an overnight in Tuscany, time to visit the wineries, Florence, Lucca and the Cinque Terre. Imagine Portofino and the Amalfi Coast with and escape to Capri. The piece de’ resistance Sorrento truly a feast for the eyes and all five senses. Your cruise will end in Rome, the Eternal City.
