Ports of call

Venice, Italy

Walking from the ship to St. Marks Square - about 30 min. but worth it to experience the wonderful atmosphere of the streets, bridges, shops, and piazza's along the way. A gondola ride is a must, but certainly over-rated so don't be disappointed.

Taormina is worth the trip, and a canoli at one of the cafe's is a definate

Barcelona, Spain

A very big city with many sites. Best to go somewhere specific rather than wondering around. Very busy everywhere.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

A beautiful ancient city awaits - a walk around the ancient wall (about 2 KM - 45 min. around), is a must with beatiful vistas everywhere

Florence is a place you can't miss. The city is absolutely jammed with museums, art, and beautiful architecture.
