7 nætter fra med Costa Smeralda

Udvalget af oplevelser i Rom er enormt. Byen er som ét stort teater med verdens smukkeste kulisser og fascinerer med verdens største kirke, fabelagtige ruiner, imponerende templer, renæssancebygninger, museer, spisesteder og butikker.

Above the port of Savona, the Priamar Fortress greets every departure and arrival of the Costa ships sailing in the Mediterranean. Genoa and its aquarium are nearby.
The port of Savona, which you can explore during your cruise in Italy, is one of the prettiest of the Italian Riviera. The lovely climate, summers that are never to hot, mild winters and the exceptional beauty of the sea near the town makes Savona an excellent base to set out to explore Liguria. Savona is notable for the Priamar Fortress, which has dominated the town since the 16th century, and also for its historic centre where you can visit Savona Cathedral. A stop in Savona can also be an opportunity to visit the nearby city of Genoa and its narrow, picturesque streets, known as “caruggi”.

Omringet af bjerge og lavendelmarker ligger havnebyen Marseille.
Som Frankrigs ældste by summer Marseille af historie og har igennem årene udviklet sig til en travl multikulturel storby med god balance mellem traditioner og modernitet, kultur og natur.
Selvom Marseille er kendt for at være en travl by, hviler en afslappende atmosfære over indbyggerne, og det summer af liv i byens gamle havn, Vieux Port. Blandt duften af saltvand og friskfanget fisk lægger de farverige fiskekutterne til kaj for at sælge dagens fangst, og folk flokkes om de hyggelige restauranter og barer, der fylder havnefronten. Fra den gamle havn er der en flot udsigt til kirken Notre-Dame de la Garde, Marseilles’ symbol, der er placeret på byens højeste bakketop. I gamle dage slæbte fiskerne deres små både op ad bakketoppen til kirken for at få dem velsignet.
Lidt nord for den gamle havn ligger den historiske bydel, Le Panier. I gamle dage var området et stort markedssted, deraf stammer navnet panier, som betyder kurv. I dag fyldes gaderne af små atelierer, kreative kunstbutikker og charmerende skæve bygninger med vasketøjet hængende over de smalle gader.
Det smukke palads, Palais Longchamp, er også et besøg værd. Paladset rummer i dag Marseilles’ kunstmuseum og udstiller blandt andet Van Goghs malerier. Paladset er omgivet af en smuk park, som er en af Frankrigs bemærkelsesværdige parker.
Lej gerne en cykel og tag på eventyr langs Marseilles’; smukke kyst eller nyd den populære strand, Plage des Catalans, som blot ligger en kort bustur fra byens centrum.

Barcelona is the second largest city in Spain with three million inhabitants, a dominating port in northern Mediterranean with one of the most renowned and important universities in the world. The city is a very rich commercial centre, where industrial operations crucial to the Spanish economy take place.
In fact, Catalans have always considered their region unique compared with the other Spanish regions and we can find its roots in the power exercised by Barcelona for four hundred years at least on Spanish monarchy and on European commercial events.

Mallorca is the largest and most visited island in the Baleares. It accounts for a little less than half a million inhabitants in a surface of 3,660 square kilometres. The island is approximately 100 km wide from east to west and at least 75 km from north to south. The climate is mild in the winter and pleasantly hot in the summer, mitigated by a wind coming from the Sierra del Norte Mountains, with peaks up to 1,445 metres.

Strategically placed between Europe and Africa, the island of Sicily has for centuries been a focus of military and commercial activity. And the city of Palermo is still today a fascinating centre of culture and enterprise.

According to historical research, the prehistoric inhabitants of Palermo, once named Panormus because of its deep bay and anchorage, lived in caves and shelters around the 660-metre high Mount Pellegrino, which dominates the city’s skyline. The city has been ruled by all the great ancient powers of the region including Greek, Punic, Roman, Carthaginian, Byzantine, Saracen, Norman, Spanish and Bourbon.
