Day 03: Southern Mediterranean Sojourn / Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona is a city where Roman ruins, medieval quarters, and avant-garde Modernisme coexist beautifully. Founded as a Roman military camp, it grew into a powerful Mediterranean maritime capital. You cannot miss the Basilica de la Sagrada Familia, Antoni Gaudí's unfinished masterpiece, or the winding stone alleys of the Gothic Quarter, where the city's 2,000-year history is etched into the walls. Before boarding the Seven Seas Navigator, stroll down La Rambla to the Boqueria Market or visit the Picasso Museum, housed in five medieval palaces, to see the early works of the city's most famous artistic resident.


Day04 & 05: Valencia, Spain
Valencia is a city of spectacular contrasts, blending its Roman and Moorish past with futuristic design. Historically, it was a hub for the silk trade, and a visit to the UNESCO-listed La Lonja de la Seda (Silk Exchange) reveals the city's 15th-century wealth. In the Valencia Cathedral, you can see what is claimed to be the "Holy Grail." On your second day, explore the City of Arts and Sciences, an architectural marvel designed by Santiago Calatrava. Between sightseeing, be sure to try authentic Paella Valenciana in its birthplace, perhaps accompanied by a refreshing glass of horchata in a historic plaza.


Day 06: Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Palma, the capital of the Balearic Islands, has been a strategic prize for Romans, Moors, and Crusaders alike. Its skyline is dominated by La Seu, a magnificent Gothic cathedral built on the site of a former mosque; its interior features modern touches by Gaud. You can hike up to the circular Bellver Castle for panoramic views of the bay or wander the labyrinthine streets of the Old Town to find hidden courtyards and artisan shops. The island's olive groves and rugged cliffs offer a stunning backdrop to a city that perfectly balances island charm with Mediterranean sophistication.

Known as the "Venice of Languedoc," Ste was founded in 1666 as the Mediterranean gateway for the Canal du Midi.

You can climb Mont Saint-Clair for a 360-degree view of the Thau Lagoon and the Mediterranean or explore the Paul Valery Museum, which celebrates the town's poetic and artistic heritage. Ste is also the perfect base for visiting the medieval fortress of Carcassonne or the Roman ruins of Nimes, offering a deep dive into the soul of southern France.


Day 09: Provence (Marseille), France
Marseille is France's oldest city, founded by Greek mariners from Phocaea in 600 B.C. The Vieux-Port (Old Port) remains the heart of the city, where fishing boats have docked for millennia.

From here, you can journey to Florence to see the Duomo and Michelangelo's David, or to Pisa to witness the legendary Leaning Tower. If you stay in Livorno, explore the Venezia Nuova (New Venice) quarter with its 17th-century canals and bridges. The city's historic Central Market is a temple to Tuscan gastronomy, offering a chance to sample local pecorino, cured meats, and world-class olive oils in an authentic Italian setting.


Day 11: Cruising the Tyrrhenian Sea
As the Seven Seas Navigator glides south toward Sicily, take this day to indulge in the ship's culinary excellence. You might choose a leisurely lunch at La Veranda or participate in a wine-tasting seminar. The ship's intimate size makes it easy to meet fellow travelers in the Navigator Lounge for coffee and conversation. Enjoy a final afternoon of relaxation at the pool or the fitness center, preparing for the rich history of Palermo. As evening falls, the Seven Seas Lounge hosts professional musical productions that provide the perfect soundtrack to your Mediterranean crossing.


Day 12: Palermo (Sicily), Italy
Palermo is a crossroads of civilizations, where Arab, Norman, and Baroque influences blend into a vibrant, chaotic masterpiece. Historically, it was the capital of the Kingdom of Sicily and one of Europe's most cultured cities. You must see the Palermo Cathedral, which houses royal tombs, and the Palazzo dei Normanni, home to the stunning mosaics of the Palatine Chapel. The city is also famous for its bustling street markets like Ballar and Vucciria, where the scents of fried panelle and citrus fruits offer a sensory immersion into the heart of Sicilian life and history.


Day 13: La Goulette, Tunisia
La Goulette is the historic port of Tunis, famously fought over by the Spanish and the Ottomans in the 16th century. It serves as the gateway to the ancient ruins of Carthage, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the legendary rival of Rome. You can also visit the Bardo National Museum, housed in a 13th-century palace, which contains one of the world's finest collections of Roman mosaics. For a change of pace, wander the blue-and-white clifftop village of Sidi Bou Said, where the cobblestone streets and bougainvillea-draped houses offer spectacular views across the Gulf of Tunis.


Day 14: Valletta, Malta
Valletta is a "city built by gentlemen for gentlemen," established by the Knights of St. John following the Great Siege of 1565. This UNESCO-listed capital is a baroque treasure trove. You must explore St. John's Co-Cathedral, which houses Caravaggio's masterpiece, The Beheading of St. John the Baptist. With an overnight stay, you can experience the city's illuminated bastions by night. On your second day, visit the "Silent City" of Mdina, Malta's ancient medieval capital, or take a traditional luzzu boat across the Grand Harbour to see the historic Three Cities and their massive fortifications.


Day 15: Cruising the Tyrrhenian Sea
Your final day at sea is a time to celebrate the "Heritage of Perfection" aboard the Navigator. Savor a final meal at Sette Mari at La Veranda, where authentic Italian recipes are shared with a sunset view. This is an ideal time to visit the Boutique for a final memento or share a farewell drink with new friends in the Stars Lounge. Reflect on a journey that has spanned the Carthaginian ruins of Tunisia to the Renaissance grandeur of Florence, all while enjoying the seamless, all-inclusive service that defines the Regent experience.


Day 16: Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy
Your voyage concludes in Civitavecchia, the port of Rome since the time of Emperor Trajan. From here, you can travel to the "Eternal City" to witness the layers of history at the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Pantheon.
