TOURS SEPTEMBER 2023

PALMA DE MALLORCA (Caves of Drach) - SEPTEMBER 11th

PRICE PER PERSON:
45€

We will start our tour heading towards the Cuevas del Drach (Caves of Drach), located on the eastern coast of Mallorca. The caves are one of the main tourist attractions and undoubtedly one of the most remarkable on the island, as they have a horizontal development close to 2,400 meters in length and a depth, at their maximum point, of 25 meters below the surface.

Inside the caves, there is a large underground lake, Lake Martel, considered one of the largest underground lakes in the world (177 m long by 30 m wide), where daily classical music concerts are held with pieces by Caballero, Chopin, Offenbach, and more. The unparalleled beauty of these caves is enhanced by the lighting designed and executed by engineer Carlos Buigas. At the end of the visit, we will head to the center of Palma de Mallorca, where we will have free time to stroll around the capital, visit its Cathedral, and more. Later, we will return to the coach to travel to the cruise terminal and return to the ship with enough time to have lunch on board.

We will begin the journey with a stop at Vallon des Auffes, passing through La Corniche: a scenic coastal route that skirts the city of Marseille, traveling through the area of Plage des Catalans to the quaint port of Vallon des Auffes. It’s a beautiful and straightforward route to explore from the center of Marseille. From there, you can enjoy views of the Frioul Archipelago and the Château d’If.

Later, we will stop at the Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde, a 19th-century monument beloved by the people of Marseille. It offers an exceptional panoramic view of the city from its highest point, known as the “Cité Phocéenne.”

We will make a stop at the Abbey of St. Victor, dating back to the 5th century.

FLORENCE - SEPTEMBER 13th

PRICE PER PERSON:
50€

We will discover the city of the Medici family through a guided tour starting from Piazza Santa Maria Novella, located just a few steps from Florence’s main train station. This square is one of the city’s main focal points. From there, we’ll head to the magnificent complex of the Cathedral of Santa Maria dei Fiore, also known as the Cathedral of Santa Maria of the Flower (exterior). It’s a masterpiece of Gothic and early Italian Renaissance architecture. Symbolizing the wealth and power of the Tuscan capital during the 13th and 14th centuries, the Florentine cathedral is one of the largest buildings in Christianity. Its name refers to the lily, Florence’s symbol, or the old name of the town called Fiorenza. Others interpret the flower as a reference to Christ. The cathedral’s impressive dome, designed by Brunelleschi, is accompanied by Giotto’s Campanile (exterior), standing at 84.70 meters in height, and the Baptistery of St. John (exterior), known for its famous bronze doors. The ensemble of the church, the bell tower, and the baptistery forms one of Florence’s artistic and architectural gems. Our stroll continues through various streets, from Republic Square to Piazza della Signoria, to see the Palazzo Vecchio, an ancient palace built between 1299 and 1314 as a residence and workspace for the republic’s officials. It stands out for its adorned courtyard and artistic treasures.

We’ll admire the Loggia dei Lanzi, an open-air museum showcasing sculptural masterpieces. We’ll also catch a glimpse of the Ponte Vecchio, the only bridge in Florence that survived World War II intact, and reach Piazza Santa Croce to admire its marvelous church (exterior). This church is the final resting place of notable figures such as Michelangelo, Machiavelli, and Galileo Galilei. The Santa Croce Square, besides being a popular spot for street performers, hosts various events throughout the year. The church’s distinctive feature is its nearly 300 tombs, with inscriptions spanning from the 14th to the 19th centuries.

You’ll have free time for lunch, individual visits, or shopping.

This excursion includes a guide in Spanish. If we reach a minimum number of participants, it will also have a guide in English. This excursion is only half-day. We will return to the ship for lunch.
This excursion is a full-day tour and does not include lunch. There will be free time to have something to eat. In any case, when we return to the ship in the late afternoon, you will find several places open (pizzas, sandwiches, snack buffet, etc.) to have something to eat before dinner.

Capri, the gem of the Gulf of Naples, is known as the Blue Isle due to the intense color of the sea that bathes its shores.

The meeting point with the guide will be at the port of Naples, and on foot, we will head towards Molo Beverello. From there, we will board a hydrofoil and arrive at the picturesque Marina Grande port in about 50 minutes. Once we disembark from the hydrofoil, still accompanied by the guide, we will take the funicular to reach the historic center of Capri. Here, we will make our first photographic stop to admire the breathtaking panoramic view of the Gulf. The sight of Naples, Mount Vesuvius, and Ischia will leave us speechless. With a pleasant stroll, we will explore the historic center, walking through its narrow streets that open up like a labyrinth, surprising us with elegant cafes, high-end fashion stores, and art galleries that have attracted generations of artists and celebrities.

We will pass through the famous “Piazzetta,” marked on maps as Piazza Umberto I, considered the great living room of the island. It was here, especially in the 1950s, that the most eccentric and sometimes scandalous fashions were showcased, making Capri famous worldwide. The main architectural feature of the square is undoubtedly the Clock Tower dating back to the 17th century. In the same square, we will also find the Church of Santo Stefano, the largest on the island. Continuing our stroll, we will pass through Via delle Camerelle, named after ancient Roman cisterns, now converted into luxury shops. We will be captivated by the grandeur of the Hotel Quisisana, which remains a desired destination among the global jet set. We will reach the Certosa di San Giacomo Valley, where we can visit the Capri perfumery factory, Cartusia, which takes its name from the Certosa. From here, we will move on to the Gardens of Augustus, a small paradise immersed in greenery. We can enjoy a wonderful view of Marina Piccola (the ancient port of the island), the picturesque Via Krupp (now a UNESCO World Heritage Site), and the splendid Faraglioni rocks of Capri.

At the end of the guided tour, we will have free time to explore desired places on our own. Before the free time, the guide will communicate the time and meeting point for boarding the hydrofoil that will take us back to the port of Naples for the return to the Symphony of the Seas.
