Join Matt on a Journey back to his ancestral homeland...
I recently signed up for 23andMe to learn more about my ancestry and genetic makeup. I knew I had Spanish ancestry (turns out I'm 24% Spanish). I also learned that I'm 10% Italian and 11% French/German. This inspired me to go back to my roots and beyond.
I haven't been to Barcelona and Rome in over a decade and am looking forward to exploring these beautiful cities all over again. Plus, we'll be visiting places in Italy and France I've never been. In fact, everywhere else in the itinerary is new to me.
This year, I'm partnering with Distinctive Voyages to provide my clients with exclusive benefits. As your host of this Distinctive Voyage, I'm excited to share this incredible itinerary. There’s nothing better than opening your door to the fresh sea air and views. Azamara’s friendly ships are an altogether wonderful place to call your home away from home!
Soak up the sun and immerse yourself in the spirit of the Mediterranean during this weeklong exploration of some of the world’s most incredible art, architecture, food, and history. Your voyage begins in Barcelona, home to numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sites including the venerable Sagrada Familia and the opulent Palau de la Musica Catalana. Explore the Gothic Quarter, savor tapas, and admire stunning cathedrals and churches, beautiful beaches, and fascinating museums.
Inclusions:
Everyone on the ship enjoy's these benefits.

Day 1
Barcelona, Spain Departs 6:00PM Barcelona, Spain: Barcelona is a cosmopolitan masterpiece. With a history rich in art and architecture, medieval, Gothic, and modern influences can be seen all over the city. Start at the waterfront and stroll up the shady, tree-lined Las Ramblas boulevard and discover some of the city's best shopping and bustling cafes. Day 2 Port-Vendres, France Docked 7:30AM to 6:00PM When you travel to Port-Vendres, be prepared for your imagination to kick into over-drive. You could head to Cadaqués, a charming town that was once home to the artist Salvador Dali. Be sure to vist his world-famous museum while you're there. Or, simply hang out in Port-Vendres and enjoy the local sights and a meal of fresh seafood paired with the region’s renowned Collioure wines. Day 3 Toulon, France Docked 9:15AM to 6:30PM Toulon is a picturesque city with a medieval core, an abundance of fountains, and a colorful daily market with a true Provençal character, meaning prime ingredients of garlic, olive oil and herbes de Provence. Day 4 Monte Carlo, Monaco Docked 8:00AM to 10:00PM You don’t need luck on your side to have an unforgettable time in Monte Carlo! Home to the legendary Grand Casino and the Monaco Grand Prix—one of the world’s most prestigious sporting events—Monte Carlo lives up to its reputation in every way. Drive the Monaco Grand Prix route in a performance vehicle, visit the Grand Casino, or roll the dice and explore the breathtaking beauty of the city. Day 5-6 Livorno, Italy Docked Oct 23-8:00AM to Oct 24-10:00PM The port city of Livorno has many charms of its own: the canals of La Venezia Nuova (New Venice), which date back to the Medici era, the Mercato Centrale, and the chessboard-style Terrazza Mascagni promenade, to name a few. But Livorno is also the gateway to the magnificent art and architecture, palaces, churches and museums of Florence, as well as Pisa’s famous leaning tower. Decisions, decisions! Day 7 Portoferraio, Italy Docked 8:00AM to 5:00PM Did you know Napoleon was once exiled to the island of Elba for ten long years? You can learn all about it at the Archaeological Civic Museum. History not your thing? Why not climb to the top of Medici Fortress, take an open cable car to the peak of Mount Capanne, or enjoy performances in Vigilanti Theatre. No matter your choice, you're sure to wonder why Napoleon ever wanted to leave. Day 8 Civitavecchia, Italy Debark: 6:00AM Always enchanting, the Eternal City will captivate you—no matter how many times you visit. Walk in the steps of gladiators at the Coliseum, channel your inner statesman at the Forum, or gaze up in wonder at Michelangelo's masterwork at St. Peter's Basilica. Pasta and vino are a must, and there are plenty of places to relax and refuel after a day of exploration. |

Staterooms feature modern amenities, furnishings, and European linens. And one of the greatest features of this ship is the large number of staterooms with verandas.
