Every one of our incredible itineraries features an array of excursions, handpicked by our journey planners to offer insightful and diverse experiences at every point along the way. At no extra cost, they are something you can expect on almost every cruise day. You’ll never have to worry about missing any of your guide’s insightful commentary with the assistance of your personal audio system. Your headset will clearly pick up their voice, so you can learn about Avignon as you wander the streets, or hear tales of Arles as you explore its amphitheater.
