Royal Caribbean Cruise - Symphony of the Seas - Western Mediterranean

Dock into Palma De Mallora and spend the day sampling the tapas or tasting the wines. Visit the statuesque La Seu Cathedral, explore the art galleries and amble along the cobbled lanes of the old town, or perhaps choose a guided tour by bike. Stretch out on the soft sands of Playa de Palma, visit the Almudaina, a Moorish-style Arab fortress, or medieval Bellver Castle, before exploring Palma’s old quarter and tasting tapas at one of the many restaurants and bars. Arrive 8am, depart 4pm.

Leaving Spain behind, sail across to Marseille, the oldest and second largest city in France. Explore the colourful port, peruse the daily fish market at the Old Harbour, and delve into the city's past at The Musée d'Histoire. Admire the intricate architecture of the Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde, which sits atop a hill, before strolling around the Old Town and exploring the many museums and galleries such as Mucem and Villa Méditerranée. As you’re docked from 9am to 6pm, there’s also plenty of time for activities such as snorkelling or diving in the clear blue sea.

Welcome to La Spezia, Italy, where you’ll dock from 8:30am to 8:30 pm, giving you a full day to explore the sights. Choose to take a day trip down to Pisa, where you can pose for the classic ‘propping up the leaning tower’ photo, or head for beautiful Florence, where you can admire the spectacular architecture and some of the finest works of art in the world. The picturesque villages of the Cinque Terre are another option, or stay in La Spezia and sample the delicious local cuisine.

Dock in Civitavecchia from 7am to 8pm, giving you a full day to soak up the sights of Rome, just over an hour’s drive away. One of the most spectacular cities in the world, the cosmopolitan capital of Italy is brimming with rich history, superb culture and magnificent sights just waiting to be discovered. Explore the ancient ruins of the Roman Forum and the Colosseum, and delve into Vatican City, headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church and home to St Peter’s Basilica. Make a wish at the Trevi Fountain and indulge in some of the best pizza and pasta on the globe.

Dock in Naples from 7am to 8pm, giving you ample time to hop across to the island of Capri, a patchwork of café-filled squares and cobbled alleyways. Alternatively, stay in Naples, where the historic city centre is a World Heritage site with plenty to see, including the Royal Palace, the San Carlo Opera House and the Duomo, the city’s Cathedral, when you’re not feasting on bowls of pasta that is. For the adventurous, choose to ride the zip-line over a 16th-century reservoir, hike around the rim of Mount Vesuvius, or pay a visit to Pompeii and Sorrento.

With a full day at sea, take your time to explore the ship’s facilities. Perhaps kick back in the bar, or lounge by the pool with a drink or two. Indulge and pamper yourself in the spa, or try something more active like a game of table tennis or mini golf. Take in a show or two in the ship’s theatre, or sign up for rock climbing, zip lining or surfing. For real adrenaline junkies, ride the Perfect Storm, a trio of waterslides three decks high.
