<p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0px;">Savona is the capital of the Province of Savona, in the Riviera di Ponente on the Mediterranean Sea.<br />
Nowadays, the city revolves around the port and fortress Priamar which is the authentic symbol of Savona.<br />
Inhabited in ancient times by Ligures tribes, it came under Roman influence in c. 180 BC, after the Punic wars in which the city had been allied to Carthage. At the fall of the Western Roman Empire, it passed under Lombard rule in 641 (being destroyed in the attack) after a short period as an Ostrogoth and then Byzantine possession. Later it recovered as county seat in the Carolingian Empire.<br />
After a long struggle against the Saracens, Savona acquired independence in the 11th century becoming a free municipality. Subsequently, after a short alliance, it fought Genoa before being definitively conquered in 1528. It then shared the fortunes of the Republic of Genoa until Napoleonic times, and subsequent annexation to the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont (1815).</p>
<p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0px;"><strong>D</strong><strong>ay 2: Barcelona 13:00 &#8211; 18:00</strong></p>

Art, architecture, good food and nightlife are just some of the attractions of this splendid city. The overlap of different architectural styles in the last three centuries has made the city an authentic open air museum in perfect balance between tradition and modernity.<br />
Barcelona is famous for the architectural works of Gaudì, the eccentric and genial architect: one must visit his Sagrada Familia, Park Güell, La Pedrera (Casa Milà) and Casa Battlò. A walk in its streets is like going over the different artistic and urban planning concepts in the history of architecture. The extraordinary cultural offer and the infinite possibilities for shopping have turned it into one of the most emerging European destinations, especially in the last 10 years. It’s not by chance, therefore, that in the last five years visits for tourism have surpassed those for business.</p>

It is the perfect time to enjoy the activities and services offered on board. Relaxation, discovery, sport &#8230; Everything is included, so let yourself go! Choose your own program! You can relax and enjoy the sunshine beside the pool, unless you prefer to try the relaxing spa universe of the ship. Enjoy the fitness center, the beauty salon, sauna &#8230; At night, you can rejoice yourself by visiting the bars and restaurants available on-board! Shows, casino, disco, there is always something to see or do aboard the boat! If your mood is romantic, go to the one of our shows to experience the cozy atmosphere, or check out the deck and observe the stars in the gentle embrace of the sea breeze!</p>

If you are looking for a complete visit of Casablanca, do not  miss the Corniche, a scenic coastal road which crosses the rich district of Anfa, with its pools hidden among the rocks overhanging the sea and a multitude of restaurants, coffee and nightclubs which are an crucial part of the sparkling nightlife of this part of town.</p>

</strong></p>
<p>Аpproximately 125 km off the coast of Africa and 1,000 km from the Iberian Peninsula this Spanish island, is the easternmost of the autonomous Canary Islands, in the Atlantic Ocean. It owes its spectacular beauty to the variety of its landscapes.</p>

</strong></p>
<p>It has all the characteristics of a Spanish town but it has also retained many traces of the domination and cultural influences that it has encountered, while becoming a sort of monument to urban well-being, tranquility and joie de vivre. It is the capital of the island and the province that bears its name and includes the islands of La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro. It is a quiet and very friendly, almost confidential city, but if you know how to unleash yourself at right time and place, you would be able to enjoy the shimmering spectacle that Santa Cruz de Tenerife has to offer.</p>

<p>Madeira, land of contrasts !!!&#8230;. Funchal comes from the word funcho, meaning fennel in Portuguese. Funchal is the capital of the island of Madeira, an autonomous region of Portugal comprising the islands of the archipelago. With its neighbouring boroughs (municipalities) of Camara de Lobos, Santa Cruz, Machico and Ribeira Brava the town has over 150,000 inhabitants. It is the most populous Portuguese city outside mainland Portugal. The Funchal conurbation includes the cities of Funchal, Câmara de Lobos, Caniço and Santa Cruz, all on the south side of Madeira.<br />
Funchal lies in a natural &#8220;amphitheatre&#8221;, with gentle slopes beginning at the harbour and rising almost 1200 metres. This provides a natural shelter that attracted the first settlers. Funchal is a cosmopolitan and panoramic city, with parks, shops and hotels. If you look at the size of Madeira, you can hardly imagine that this island has so much to offer! From many historical monuments, squares and streets in the capital of Funchal to enchanting gardens, picturesque villages, amazing landscapes, impressive volcanic caves, rugged coast lines, beautiful natural beaches and, last but not least, breathtaking views, there is so much to see that you will soon realize that one visit to Madeira just isn’t enough!</p>

Nowadays, the city revolves around the port and fortress Priamar which is the authentic symbol of Savona.<br />
Inhabited in ancient times by Ligures tribes, it came under Roman influence in c. 180 BC, after the Punic wars in which the city had been allied to Carthage. At the fall of the Western Roman Empire, it passed under Lombard rule in 641 (being destroyed in the attack) after a short period as an Ostrogoth and then Byzantine possession. Later it recovered as county seat in the Carolingian Empire.<br />
After a long struggle against the Saracens, Savona acquired independence in the 11th century becoming a free municipality. Subsequently, after a short alliance, it fought Genoa before being definitively conquered in 1528. It then shared the fortunes of the Republic of Genoa until Napoleonic times, and subsequent annexation to the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont (1815).</p>

<p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0px;">Barcelona has found the perfect balance between sea and mountains: one foot set in traditions and the other set in the avant-garde. at the same time both rebellious and traditionalist, both elegant and proletarian, it is the Spanish city which has most renewed itself in the last few years.<br />
Art, architecture, good food and nightlife are just some of the attractions of this splendid city. The overlap of different architectural styles in the last three centuries has made the city an authentic open air museum in perfect balance between tradition and modernity.<br />
Barcelona is famous for the architectural works of Gaudì, the eccentric and genial architect: one must visit his Sagrada Familia, Park Güell, La Pedrera (Casa Milà) and Casa Battlò. A walk in its streets is like going over the different artistic and urban planning concepts in the history of architecture. The extraordinary cultural offer and the infinite possibilities for shopping have turned it into one of the most emerging European destinations, especially in the last 10 years. It’s not by chance, therefore, that in the last five years visits for tourism have surpassed those for business.</p>

The name Palma dates back to the Roman settlement on the site of the present city, although the area was originally settled during the Bronze Age. In the early middle ages it was conquered by Arabs, who named it Madina Mayurqa. In 1229 it was conquered by King Jaime I, ruler of Valencia and Aragon, and became an important trade city. Attacks by Turkish pirates in the 17th century led to a century long decline, finishing when Charles III opened trading with the Indies.<br />
The city became a tourist destination in the 1950s, and tourist numbers have continually increased in the subsequent half century. Well known for its seaside activities and watersports, Mallorca offers many opportunities to enjoy: like any community with a strong touristic traditions, Mallorca presents to its guests a typically Mediterranean cuisine, with a condiment made of herbs and local vegetables fried together, as well as many fish dishes, including the best known and most famous calderata de langosta and calderata of peix.</p>

Ajaccio is a place, able to seduce all visitors, with the beauty of its scenery and its truly enchanting areas.</p>

<p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0px;">Savona is the capital of the Province of Savona, in the Riviera di Ponente on the Mediterranean Sea.<br />
Nowadays, the city revolves around the port and fortress Priamar which is the authentic symbol of Savona.<br />
Inhabited in ancient times by Ligures tribes, it came under Roman influence in c. 180 BC, after the Punic wars in which the city had been allied to Carthage. At the fall of the Western Roman Empire, it passed under Lombard rule in 641 (being destroyed in the attack) after a short period as an Ostrogoth and then Byzantine possession. Later it recovered as county seat in the Carolingian Empire.<br />
After a long struggle against the Saracens, Savona acquired independence in the 11th century becoming a free municipality. Subsequently, after a short alliance, it fought Genoa before being definitively conquered in 1528. It then shared the fortunes of the Republic of Genoa until Napoleonic times, and subsequent annexation to the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont (1815).</p>
<p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0px;"><strong>D</strong><strong>ay 2: Barcelona 13:00 – 19:00</strong></p>
<p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0px;">Barcelona has found the perfect balance between sea and mountains: one foot set in traditions and the other set in the avant-garde. at the same time both rebellious and traditionalist, both elegant and proletarian, it is the Spanish city which has most renewed itself in the last few years.<br />
Art, architecture, good food and nightlife are just some of the attractions of this splendid city. The overlap of different architectural styles in the last three centuries has made the city an authentic open air museum in perfect balance between tradition and modernity.<br />
Barcelona is famous for the architectural works of Gaudì, the eccentric and genial architect: one must visit his Sagrada Familia, Park Güell, La Pedrera (Casa Milà) and Casa Battlò. A walk in its streets is like going over the different artistic and urban planning concepts in the history of architecture. The extraordinary cultural offer and the infinite possibilities for shopping have turned it into one of the most emerging European destinations, especially in the last 10 years. It’s not by chance, therefore, that in the last five years visits for tourism have surpassed those for business.</p>
<p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0px;"><strong>Day 3: Ajaccio 13:00 – 19:00</strong></p>

Ajaccio is a place, able to seduce all visitors, with the beauty of its scenery and its truly enchanting areas.</p>

This extraordinary architectural decoration stands on an archipelago of small islands, separated by a network of canals crossed by some 400 bridges, which in the past were made of wood and stone, but were later replaced by other stone bridges, all shaped as arcs. The square, which is the true heart of Venice and a symbol of the Venetian, is an architectural gem, one of the most beautiful places all over Italy, a miracle made of trachyte and Istrian stone. In the past, several civil and religious ceremonies took place in the city as well as the magical celebration of the Carnival. The cafes and shops that surround it are still a point of meeting, which animates the city in a very lively way.</p>

Bari is made up of four different urban sections. To the north is the closely built old town on the peninsula between two modern harbours, with the splendid Basilica of Saint Nicholas, the cathedral of San Sabino (1035–1171) and the Castello Svevo of Frederick II, which is now also a major nightlife district. To the south is the Murattiano section, the modern heart of the city, which is laid out on a rectangular gird-plan with a promenade on the sea, and the major shopping district (the via Sparano and via Argiro).</p>

The island has suffered the Venetian domination for many years, then later became a British protectorate. These influences are quite recognizable  in the Renaissance and Gérogienne architecture of the main town, including the arcades of the central square and Corfu’s cricket ground.</p>

Valletta hosts buildings from the 16th century onwards, built during the rule of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem (the Knights Hospitaller). The city is essentially Baroque in character, with elements of Mannerist, Neo-Classical and Modern architecture in selected areas, though World War II left major scars on the city. The City of Valletta was officially recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1980.</p>

According to legend, the city of Naples’ origins are rooted in the myth of the Siren Parthenope (&#8221;of the voice of virgins&#8221;). Her body washed up on the shore of nearby Megaride, a tiny island in the Bay of Naples, was found by the locals, who respectfully interred her remains in Mount Echia, now the hill of Pizzofalcone. Dominated by Mount Vesuvius, whose smoking headdress plumes every corner of the city and each illustration, which represents it represents, Naples is undoubtedly a very exciting city, both because of its geographical position and the abundance of historical artifacts and monuments. Vesuvius is the only active volcano in mainland Europe, and has produced some of the continent’s largest volcanic eruptions. Located on Italy’s west coast, it overlooks the Bay and City of Naples and sits in the crater of the ancient Somma volcano. Vesuvius is most famous for the 79 AD eruption which destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.</p>

Nowadays, the city revolves around the port and fortress Priamar which is the authentic symbol of Savona.<br />
Inhabited in ancient times by Ligures tribes, it came under Roman influence in c. 180 BC, after the Punic wars in which the city had been allied to Carthage. At the fall of the Western Roman Empire, it passed under Lombard rule in 641 (being destroyed in the attack) after a short period as an Ostrogoth and then Byzantine possession. Later it recovered as county seat in the Carolingian Empire.<br />
After a long struggle against the Saracens, Savona acquired independence in the 11th century becoming a free municipality. Subsequently, after a short alliance, it fought Genoa before being definitively conquered in 1528. It then shared the fortunes of the Republic of Genoa until Napoleonic times, and subsequent annexation to the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont (1815).</p>
<p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0px;"><strong>D</strong><strong>ay 2: Barcelona 13:00 – 20:00</strong></p>
<p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0px;">Barcelona has found the perfect balance between sea and mountains: one foot set in traditions and the other set in the avant-garde. at the same time both rebellious and traditionalist, both elegant and proletarian, it is the Spanish city which has most renewed itself in the last few years.<br />
Art, architecture, good food and nightlife are just some of the attractions of this splendid city. The overlap of different architectural styles in the last three centuries has made the city an authentic open air museum in perfect balance between tradition and modernity.<br />
Barcelona is famous for the architectural works of Gaudì, the eccentric and genial architect: one must visit his Sagrada Familia, Park Güell, La Pedrera (Casa Milà) and Casa Battlò. A walk in its streets is like going over the different artistic and urban planning concepts in the history of architecture. The extraordinary cultural offer and the infinite possibilities for shopping have turned it into one of the most emerging European destinations, especially in the last 10 years. It’s not by chance, therefore, that in the last five years visits for tourism have surpassed those for business.</p>
<p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0px;"><strong>Day 3: Palma de Mallorca 08:00 – 13:00</strong></p>
<p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0px;">The largest and most popular of the Balearic Islands, Mallorca spreads over an area of some 3660 square kilometers. The name Palma dates back to the Roman settlement on the site of the present city, although the area was originally settled during the Bronze Age. In the early middle ages it was conquered by Arabs, who named it Madina Mayurqa. In 1229 it was conquered by King Jaime I, ruler of Valencia and Aragon, and became an important trade city. Attacks by Turkish pirates in the 17th century led to a century long decline, finishing when Charles III opened trading with the Indies.<br />
The city became a tourist destination in the 1950s, and tourist numbers have continually increased in the subsequent half century. Well known for its seaside activities and watersports, Mallorca offers many opportunities to enjoy: like any community with a strong touristic traditions, Mallorca presents to its guests a typically Mediterranean cuisine, with a condiment made of herbs and local vegetables fried together, as well as many fish dishes, including the best known and most famous calderata de langosta and calderata of peix.</p>
<p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0px;"><strong>Day 4: Ajaccio 13:00 – 20:00</strong></p>

Ajaccio is a place, able to seduce all visitors, with the beauty of its scenery and its truly enchanting areas.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-157" title="celebritycenturymain02" src="http://www.cruises.bg/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/celebritycenturymain022.jpg" alt="celebritycenturymain02" width="262" height="179" />The Old Continent has been enchanting the hearts of travelers for years. Centuries of fascinating history, art and culture, outstanding scenery and breathtaking architecture, Europe has so much to offer to each and every visitor who has a taste for the flavor of the Old World.</p>
<p>You might be probably ready to take on Europe, despite the fact that you have neither the time to travel nor the funds for a good old-fashioned tour. Well, guess what? There is a way to cover a lot of ground and see Europe’s greatest hits in less than a week without having to search for “low-cost” travel services and everything that goes with it. In fact there are several ways to do it, since most of the cruise lines started offering mini-cruises that make their way through the most stunning spots of the continent.</p>
<p>As the booking rates started to drop, cruise lines have been doing their best to convince travelers to get aboard and sail. The early-booking discounts can reduce up to 60% of the average cruise price, bringing it down as low as 300 to 550 € per person. You get your entire itinerary planed for you. You don’t have to worry about hotels, repacking, being on time or finding the right highway. You just make your way across the continent and chill out.</p>
<p><strong>Mediterranean</strong><strong> </strong><strong>Cruises</strong></p>
<p>Now, have you ever dreamed of exploring the cradle of the Western Civilization, discovering the Mediterranean&#8217;s ancient empires and the wonders of the Holy Lands?</p>
<p>Have you ever wanted to immerse yourself in sounds, visions and flavors from the wonders of Egypt, Greece, Turkey, Spain, and Italy, to the beautiful beaches of the Black Sea and the French Riviera?</p>
<p>But of course you have! Who hasn’t?</p>
<p>However to see it all, you would probably need a lot of time or a better way to do it … and what better way is there than a Cruise Tour.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 196px"><img title="Croisieres de France" src="http://www.tourmag.com/photo/732704-896209.jpg" alt="CDF" width="186" height="186" /><p class="wp-caption-text">CDF</p></div>
<p>Royal Caribbean Cruises’ subsidiary <strong>Croisieres de France</strong> (CDF) is the perfect option for this purpose. The company offers several Mediterranean cruises with itineraries, including cities as Marseille, Palma de Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca, Rome, Athens, Alexandria, Port Said, Piraeus and Suez. With prices varying between <strong>375 €</strong>/pers to <strong>815 €</strong>/pers including meals (with an 80% discount on the second passenger price), CDF’s 752-passenger <strong>Bleu de France</strong> provides a pretty good opportunity to take the best of both worlds – cruising and touring.</p>
<p><strong>Bleu de France</strong> is a custom made ship, a unique concept amongst other cruises, relying on the exquisite French formula &#8211; 100% All Inclusive. On the &#8221; Bleu of France&#8221; you can truly make yourself at home. This boat offers an atmosphere of attentive, courteous and delicated services, spaces defined by chic elegance, warmth and discrecy.</p>
<p><strong>Family </strong><strong>Cruises</strong></p>
<p>Cruises are tailor-made for families &#8211; you cover a lot of ground without having to unpack and repack a million times, while on-board kids&#8217; clubs ensure Mom and Dad have some quiet time. So if you are looking for some quality family time on the med then you might want to book on a ship line like the Italian <strong>Costa Cruises</strong><strong>.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img title="Costa Cruise" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/00/Costa_Cruises_Logo.png" alt="Costa Cruise" width="200" height="200" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Costa Cruise</p></div>
<p>With more than fifty years of tradition in passengers’ navigation, Costa cruise’s fleet includes 14 ships, each of which offers an exclusive atmosphere enhanced by the home comfort one might require. The staff is more than friendly and then there’s a fantastic cuisine from around the world.</p>
<p>With prices starting from <strong>419 €</strong> for an inside cabin you can get a 5 day trip around Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, Ajaccio, Civitavecchia and Rome, or enjoy the beauty of Venice, Bari, Corfu, Valletta, Naples, Savona and Nice for the price of <strong>470 € </strong>per person. These ships make a lot of the standard Mediterranean stops, but they also squeeze into smaller ports and extraordinary spots to give you this profound sense of personal satisfaction from the entire trip.</p>
<p><strong>Luxury Cruises </strong></p>
<p>If you are looking for a glorious way to tour Europe, then step aboard the <strong>Queen Mary 2</strong>!</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img title="Queen Mary 2" src="http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/brands/0010/8295/brand.gif" alt="Queen Mary 2" width="200" height="200" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Queen Mary 2</p></div>
<p>A true heir to the timeless elegance, legacy and inspiration of the great Cunard liners of legend, she is the grandest, most magnificent ocean liner ever built. You&#8217;ll notice it the moment you walk through her doors into her soaring Grand Lobby, and be awed from the first instance you experience the famous Cunard White Star Service.</p>
<p>For a fee of <strong>520 €</strong> per person for an inside cabin you can spend 3 stunning days on this sophisticated ship, boasting the most modern luxuries and amenities &#8211; from the pampering services of the only Canyon Ranch SpaClub<sup>®</sup> on the seas to the fascinating Cultural Enrichment Programme led by prestigious experts.</p>
