Barcelona-based Cruises

Breathtaking Barcelona Begin your voyage in Barcelona — the heart and soul of Spain’s Catalan region. This cultural capital is known for stylish people, wide and beautiful boulevards, and eclectic architecture — most notably that of native son Antoni Gaudí, whose fanciful, organic structures can be seen from the ornate facades of La Pedrera to his crowning jewel, La Sagrada Família cathedral. Be sure to take some time at a café on Las Ramblas to sample some of the city’s delicious tapas and people watch. And don't miss the labyrinth streets and alleys of the Barri Gotic, the old center of the city with some buildings dating to Medieval times. La Sagrada Família – Barcelona Spain

Romance of the Renaissance In the 15th and 16th centuries, there was no more important place in Europe to be if you were an artist or thinker than Florence, Italy, the heart of the Renaissance. Sponsored by the powerful Medici family, one of the great fertile periods in cultural evolution flourished during which Galileo pondered the heavens, Michelangelo wrestled subtle beauty from stone, and Leonardo da Vinci painted his masterpieces.

Athens-based Cruises

Ancient Athens

It has been called the Cradle of Western Civilization. And a visit to modern Athens helps you understand why. Everywhere you look, history is on display: from the narrow winding streets of the charming Plaka neighborhood to the undisputed focal point of the city — the mighty Acropolis — atop which sits the iconic Parthenon, perhaps the world’s most recognizable structure.

Small Ship Sailing

Fewer people, a leisurely pace and having all your restaurants, bars and amenities nearby are just a few of the attractions of the classic cruise experience of small ship sailing. On the intimate Pacific Princess,® you’ll be one of fewer than 700 guests sailing into both premier ports and smaller, less-frequented destinations that larger ships just can’t reach. Venice, Italy

A City of the Sea From its humble origins to one of the most important empires of the Middle Ages, Venice has weaved its magical spell over visitors. The lions and clocktower moors of San Marcos have watched over the lagoon throughout the city’s history, and today tourists discover the city’s enchanting romance by riding gondolas and vaporetti through its maze of canals.

Rock of Ages At the southern tip of Spain, but a part Great Britain, Gibraltar’s famous Rock towers over a city that is a melting pot of cultures. This northern half of the Pillars of Hercules has marked the gateway to the Mediterranean since antiquity and today its long history is reflected in a mix of North African, Spanish and British culture. Nature has lavished more than 600 varieties of flowers, some found nowhere else, and the unique Barbary apes, the only wild apes in Europe. Barbary Ape – Gibraltar princess.com

DE S IG NE D T O IN S P IR E AW E In the Mediterranean, the opportunities for adventure seem nearly limitless. Yet you’ll also be dazzled by all the possibilities you find on board. Because each Princess ship is a sensational destination all its own. Strolling into the bustling central Atrium, you feel the last traces of stress melt away.
