Day 1 Seville, Spain / Embark
Arrive in Seville and transfer to Corinthian II. Overnight aboard ship, docked in port.

Occupied by the Romans, conquered by the Moors, and ruled by a succession of Catholic monarchs, Seville is one of Europe’s most important and affluent maritime cites. Visit the Alcazar, with its charming Murillo Gardens, and the Gothic Cathedral.

Day 5 Barcelona
The exuberant capital of Catalonia, Barcelona is rich in extraordinary works of art and architecture.

Also visit the 14th-century cathedral, La Seu, and tour the Picasso Museum.

Corinthian II navigates the scenic, fjord-like waterway leading to Bonifacio on Corsica, an island of high cliffs and spectacular scenery. Stroll through the striking village of Bonifacio, with its winding medieval lanes and brightly colored houses. Admire the fine Gothic architecture and dramatic limestone cliffs.

Spend a relaxing day at sea as you sail toward Montenegro.
Day 10 Kotor, Montenegro
Magnificently set amid Europe’s southernmost fjord, Kotor was well regarded for its masons and icon artists. On a walking tour through this car-free UNESCO World Heritage Site, visit the 12th-century Cathedral of St. Tryphon, as well as the Cathedral Square and the Lapidarium.
