7 Night Cruise sailing from Monte Carlo to Barcelona aboard Silver Spirit.
The greatest journeys often begin as a quest. To expand our horizons, to grow, to delve into new worlds. To find the missing or hidden even when beyond the reach of most.
In December 2009, Silversea presented their newest luxury cruise ship Silver Spirit with more verandas, more dining choices, more onboard amenities, more of the excellence you've come to expect of Silversea. An answer to your quest.
Monte Carlo
In 1297, the Grimaldi family seized this fortified town and, except for a short break under Napoléon, they have ruled here ever since. The Principality of Monaco covers 473 acres; it would fit comfortably inside New York's Central Park. The Grimaldis made money from gambling and attracted a well-heeled, monied crowd, and the whole world watched as Hollywood movie star Grace Kelly wed Prince Rainier, ruler of Monaco, to put this place on the map. It's the very favorable tax system, not the gambling, that makes Monaco one of the most sought-after addresses in the world, and the principality bristles with gleaming high-rise apartment complexes owned by tax-exiles. But at the town's great 1864 landmark Hôtel de Parisstill a veritable crossroads of the buffed and befurred Euro-gentryat the Opéra, or in the ballrooms of the Casino, you'll still be able to conjure up Monaco's belle epoque.
Livorno
One of the biggest and grittiest ports on the northwestern Italian coast, Livorno has little to attract visitors in itself. Nevertheless, the city is one of the most popular cruise ports of call in the western Mediterranean as the gateway to some of Italy's finest attractions, the cities of Florence and Pisa, not to mention the delightful landscapes of Tuscany. Florence, the city of the lily, gave birth to the Renaissance and changed the way we see the world. For centuries it has captured the imagination of travelers, who have come seeking rooms with views and phenomenal art. Pisa is famous for one of the world's most quirky historical attractions: its leaning tower, but this structure is one part of a triumvirate that offers one of the most dramatic architectural vista's in the country. It's unlikely you'll have time to see everything during this port stop, so plan your time wisely.
St Tropez
Brigitte Bardot kick-started the rush in the early 1960s, and she was followed by the likes of Liz Taylor and Sophia Loren. People still flock to St-Tropez for the sun, the sea, and, the celebrities. The new generation includes Elton, Barbra, Oprah, Jack, and Uma, though they stay hidden in villas, and the people you'll see on the streets are mere mortals, lots of them, many intent on displaying the bestand often the mostof their youth, beauty, and wealth. Still, if you take an early morning stroll around the pretty port or down the narrow medieval streets with their candied-almond hues, you'll see just how charming St-Tropez can be. There's a weekend's worth of boutiques to explore and many cute cafés where you can sit under colored awnings and watch the spectacle that is St-Trop (trop in French means "too much") saunter by. Or head to the beaches, which are some of the most fashionable in Europe.
Barcelona
Capital of Catalonia, 2,000-year-old Barcelona commanded a vast Mediterranean empire when Madrid was still a dusty Moorish outpost on the Spanish steppe. Relegated to second-city status only in 1561, Barcelona has long rivaled and often surpassed Madrid's supremacy. Catalans jealously guard their language and their culture. Barcelona has long had a frenetically active cultural life. It was the home of architect Antoni Gaudí, and the painters Joan Miró and Salvador Dalí. Pablo Picasso also spent his formative years in Barcelona. Native musicians include cellist Pablo (Pau, in Catalan) Casals, opera singers Montserrat Caballé and José (Josep) Carreras, and early music master Jordi Savall. One of Europe's most visually stunning cities, Barcelona balances its many elements, from the medieval intimacy of its Gothic Quarter to the grace of the wide boulevards in the Moderniste Eixample. In the 21st century, innovative structures, such as the Ricardo Bofill Vela (sail) hotel, demonstrate Barcelona's insatiable appetite for novelty and progress.
