Nice is the fifth most populous city in France and the second largest on the Mediterranean coast. The city's famous seaside promenade, the Promenade des Anglais ('the Walkway of the English'), owes its name to the earliest settlers to this seaside resort. For over a quarter century, the picturesque Nicean surroundings have attracted not only those in search of relaxation but also those seeking inspiration. The crisp clean air and soft light has been of particular interest to some of Western culture's most outstanding painters, such as Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse, and entertainers such as Sir Elton John and Tina Turner. Board the SeaDream I and attend dinner as the ship sets sail.

The picturesque fishing village of Portofino can be found along the Italian Riviera and is one of the most popular resort getaways in all of Italy. Portofino has been a staple of tourism in Italy since the 19th century, with tourism officially replacing fishing as the chief industry in 1950. Portofino is a naturally beautiful port with colorful, iconic architecture that was even replicated as a hotel resort at the Universal Orlando Resort in Orlando. The Tokyo Disney Resort in Japan also created a seaside town based on Portofino. Tourists like to visit the museum Castello Brown, which provides a great view of the town, as well as the churches of St. Martin, Oratorio di Nostra Signora Assunta, and St. George - the latter containing some relics of saints. When visiting Portofino, be sure to take a guided dive to the Portofino Marine Park, as well as take a glimpse at the recently restored famous underwater statue, the Christ of the Abyss.

Portoferraio is a beautiful town in the province of Livorno, Tuscany, on the northern coast of Elba Island. SeaDream generally docks just steps away from the main street, Via Garibaldi, and offers a guided walk of this very historical town called “Walking the Napoleon Trail.” The first site is the Town Hall, proceeding northeast on Via Napoleone, the Misericordia church, in which a mass is said for Napoleon’s soul on May 5th every year. The highest point of the town is the Piazza Napoleone, from which there are beautiful views. To the west rises Forte Falcone (79m/261ft); to the east, above the lighthouse, Forte Stella (48m/158ft), both originally built in 1548 and later completed by Napoleon. On the seaward side of the square is the simple Villa dei Molini. This is believed to be Napoleon’s official residence, which contains his library. The island offers so much more than just the main city; there’s some incredible wine and several other towns to explore. To help make the most of your visit to the island, enjoy the perfect land adventure for you – “Elba Vistas, Villages & Wine," or you can borrow one of the mountain bikes to explore the island – the recommended route would be to visit Porto Azzuro.

Porto Santo Stefano is a seaport town located in the municipality of Monte Argentario, in the Province of Grosseto, Tuscany. It is one of the two major towns that form the township, along with Porto Ercole, located on the opposite side of this unique peninsula. It’s a very picturesque marina with sidewalk boutiques, cafes, and restaurants. This is a great start for the land adventure traveling to Montalcino for the tasting of fantastic Brunello in one of the most famous Italian wine regions. Guests may want to bike ride to Porto Ercole or - for the really energetic - to the old convent on top of the mountain, which has spectacular views of the coastline as well as Giglio and Gianutri. There’s also a great golf course and a fantastic boutique hotel called Il Pelicano, where guests can enjoy a nice atmosphere and lunch. While the ship is at anchor, guests can also enjoy water sports from the marina platform (pending local conditions and approvals).
