Explore some of the highlights of the western Mediterranean on this delightful 5-day cruise from Spain to France aboard Sea Cloud Spirit. Begin your trip in beautiful Barcelona, exploring the art and architecture of this vibrant city, from its lush gardens to the distinctive Gaudí buildings. Cruise to Menorca and explore its natural beauty before sailing to Alghero in Sardinia. Explore Ajaccio, the capital of Corsica, and then relax in sunny St. Tropez. End your cruise in Nice, a visual and cultural delight with its Promenade des Anglais and colorful Baroque, Belle-Epoque, and Art Deco buildings surrounded by mountains and sparkling seas.
Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
Barcelona revels in contrasts. Many enthuse over the beautiful elegant squares and boulevards, while others look for medieval romance in the Gothic quarter. Some love the artistic treasures in the Picasso Museum or the Joan Miró Foundation, but for most people Barcelona is the capital of Catalan Art Nouveau and its glory is epitomized in the spectacular Palau de la Música. At every turn, encounter the playfully opulent creations of architect Antonio Gaudi. His exuberant fantasies are evident in the numerous houses, idiosyncratic parks and the famous, as-yet incomplete Sagrada Familia cathedral, which has been under construction since 1882. Explore this charming city before boarding your ship and embarking on your cruise.
Southern France's Cassis is a fishing port on the Mediterranean. It is well-known for its pebbly beaches and its calanques, which are little inlets surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and watched over by a centuries-old château. Buildings in soft colors, sidewalk cafes, and restaurants can be found around the port. Cassis white wine is famously produced in nearby vineyards. For expansive sea vistas, trails go along the sizable, rocky Cap Canaille headland.
In the 19th century, artists discovered this picturesque fishing village on the Côte d'Azur and made it their source of inspiration. They were followed by the aristocracy and moneyed classes, and around fifty years ago St Tropez gained its international reputation as a refuge for the rich and famous. You can still find them today, in elegant Port Grimaud with its luxurious yachts from all over the world; in the upmarket bars and restaurants that line the promenade; on the elegant boulevards; in high class shops; or at the sophisticated beach clubs. Even with all these distinguished guests, St Tropez has still managed to preserve its picturesque and sleepy atmosphere.
Day 5: Nice, France | Disembark
1 Breakfast
Nice lies in one of the world's most lavishly endowed natural landscapes. The sea glows azure and the mountains in the background rise picturesquely up into the sky. Castle Hill gives you a fantastic view over the rambling old town - a labyrinth of alleyways with Baroque churches, pastel-coloured houses and red-tiled roofs. The Promenade des Anglais, a sophisticated, five-kilometre-(3 miles)long walkway along the magnificent Baie des Anges and its long beach, lies at the heart of the elegant new town, with its splendid palaces and aristocratic hotels in the Belle-Époque and Art Deco styles.

Kate was great to work with in the planning stage. She was prompt, helpful, and efficient. Our tour guide, Edwin, was knowledgeable and passionate. We were very happy to have traveled with Adventure Life, it made the trip easy and a true pleasure. We could concentrate on enjoying the experience rather than the details of travel.
