After setting an appointment for our return, we leave the bus and we are immediately immersed in the magical atmosphere of
the Eternal City, where, at every turn, we encounter evidence of many centuries of history that have contributed to make the
city what it is today, from pagan times through the long earthly reign of the Popes up to the present.
Along elegant streets and in the narrow alleys, in the large and small squares, up and down the gentle slopes of the seven hills,
wandering around Rome is an unforgettable experience for everyone because this city offers a concentration of sublime art,
entertainment and shopping like very few other cities in the world.
The day is all ours to see, visit, buy and enjoy all that Rome has to offer, as we wish.

Our destination is a truly unique village: Civita di Bagnoregio, which will appear before our eyes, perched precariously on a
rocky spur.
We will get off the coach near the only access point: a long, pedestrianised bridge made from reinforced concrete, built to
benefit the few remaining residents and the tourists that come to visit the citadel from all over the world.
That is how we will enter this attractive Medieval town, known as "the City of Death" due to the gradual erosion of the tufa
foundations on which it was built.
We will walk around the tiny centre where time seems to have stood still, treating us to a truly surreal and unforgettable
atmosphere, with little stone houses adorned with flowers and lookout points offering breathtaking views of the enormous clay
walls that support the city and views of the surrounding valley.

We set of by coach from Civitavecchia, heading to Rome where a guide awaits to lead us on a tour of the endlessly fascinating
and eye-opening attractions of the eternal city.
Our adventure begins with a sightseeing coach tour of Rome’s ancient ruins, which even today lend the centre of the city an
air of majesty and prestige.
Our route takes us past such wonders as the Pyramid of Cestius, a funeral monument built in the Egyptian style in the 1st
century BC, the Baths of Caracalla, the grandest thermal complex of the imperial age, the Circus Maximus, where the crowds
once flocked to watch the chariot races.
We leave our coach for a guided tour of the church of San Pietro in Vincoli (Saint Peter in Chains), which is home to a
Michelangelo masterpiece, a statue of Moses.
Next, we stop to take a photo or two at the Colosseum, perhaps the most famous monument in Rome and an absolute must-
see on our visit to the city. From there, we begin a walking tour along the via dei Fori Imperiali, where the ancient imperial
capital seems to come back to life. This leads us to the feet of the Capitoline Hill and Piazza Venezia, on whose southern side
towers “Il Vittoriano” the imposing monument to King Victor Emanuel II.
At this point, we may be beginning to feel a little languorous, so what better time to take a seat for some deliciously authentic
Italian cooking with lunch at a local restaurant?
Suitably restored, we head back out on foot, this time focusing on the treasures of Baroque Rome: we pass the Trevi Fountain
, with the ever-present throngs of tourists, and the Palazzo Montecitorio, a glorious example of Roman Baroque, which
overlooks the piazza of the same name, and which is now the seat of the Chamber of Deputies, one of the two houses of the
Italian Parliament. Finally, we reach Piazza Navona, with the splendid fountain designed by the great sculptor and architect
Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
Our last stop is the Vatican City, where the two semi-circles of the colonnade designed by Bernini embrace the circular piazza
and frame the façade and huge dome of the magnificent St. Peter’s Basilica.
The transfer to Rome takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
The guide will join the excursion group once we reach Rome.
This excursion involves about 2 hours of walking. Comfortable shoes are strongly recommended.
This excursion is not available to passengers who are leaving the ship at Civitavecchia.
This excursion is not recommended for guests with lmited mobility.
We recommend that you book early as only a limited number of places are available.
Due to new security control procedures many tourist sites may have long queues, even for pre-booked groups.

This excursion retraces the main stages of the long history of Rome, the cradle of civilization and Christianity, an amazing city with
immense historical, artistic and spiritual wealth.
What we will see
Colosseum
Trevi Fountain
Pantheon
Piazza Navona
St. Peter's Square and St. Peter's Basilica
What we will do
When we arrive in Rome, we begin our visit with a sightseeing tour of the city (by coach) that takes us to some of Rome's most
famous monuments including the magnificent Colosseum, built by the Emperors of the Flavian dynasty for public
entertainment. We leave the coach to admire this symbolic monument of ancient Rome from the exterior and we continue on
foot.
Our itinerary takes us to the Trevi Fountain, a magnificent Baroque monument that attracts visitors to the Eternal City and is
also famous for the custom of throwing coins into the water with your back to the fountain: one to make sure you return to
Rome and a second one to make a wish.
The tour proceeds to the Pantheon, one of the best preserved monuments of Antiquity, built by the Emperor Hadrian in
honour of all the gods.
Our next stop is Piazza Navona, one of the landmarks of the city, which is still steeped in the atmosphere of the times when it
was the scene of circus games in 17th century Rome. Here we have free time for lunch.
Our main destination awaits us in the afternoon: St. Peter's Square with its magnificent Basilica. We stop to observe the
colonnade designed by Bernini that embraces the circular area of the square framing the façade of the Basilica and its huge
dome.
In our free time we can visit St. Peter's Basilica, the symbol of the Vatican State, built on the tomb of St. Peter. Inside there are
priceless treasures of art including the Pietà, the magnificent marble statue by Michelangelo.
After a last look at the heart of Christianity and after taking another few photos with which to remember it we return to the
coach that takes us back to the ship.

treasures and secrets.

Church of Santa Maria in Castello
Fortified tower of the Countess Matilda of Canossa, Piazza delle Erbe and the Barucci Tower
Etruscan Necropolis of Tarquinia and the National Etruscan Museum
Lunch with dishes of the ancient Etruscan tradition.
What we will do
We leave the port and head for the ancient city of Corneto, today's Tarquinia, an architectural and historical jewel within the
medieval walls of a charming hamlet that has been nicknamed the "San Giminiano" of the Latium region because of its
numerous towers.
We leave the coach and wander through the alleys and hidden corners of the historic centre to discover an unexpected and
exciting world that is not only made of the particular bricks with their unmistakable colour - the colour of macco, a unique
local building material - but also of fascinating stories, legends and anecdotes.
Romanesque, Gothic and Neoclassical architectural styles are almost unwittingly intertwined on the façades of the palazzi and
churches, including the splendid church of Santa Maria in Castello which towers in isolation on the edge of the hill.
Evoking memories, mysteries and surprises, our walk takes us to the Fortified Tower of the Countess Matilda of Canossa, a
jewel set in fortification walls that are well worth viewing, Piazza delle Erbe, dominated by the Barucci Tower at the foot of
which the executioner carried out his grim rituals in Medieval times.
And then we come to more alleys, coats of arms, cloisters and medieval towers: a perfect setting which evokes a time when
hoards of monks beguiled rich and poor, the powerful and the destitute in their attempt to address their needs and forecast
their destiny.
Our lunch break becomes a way to continue our encounter with this magical land steeped in history. Indeed, Tarquinia is also
the cradle of the Etruscan civilization and at the restaurant we are served typical local dishes which have been handed down
from the Etruscan culinary tradition.
We continue to be spellbound at the Necropolis of Tarquinia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where we have the opportunity
to see some of the most beautiful painted tombs that have made this archaeological site famous
To complete our journey through Etruscan culture which, in many ways is still unknown, we go to the Palazzo Vitelleschi which
today houses the National Etruscan Museum, where we can relive the fascinating world of this Tyrrhenian people by admiring
the precious exhibits on display.
Please note: Space is limited, so please book early. The excursion is mainly a stroll on a medieval path, so comfortable walking shoes
are recommended. The order of the itinerary may vary.

Description
Palermo has been declared one of the best ten cities in the world for its street food: with this excursion dedicated to the delicacies of
the Sicilian tradition, we discover a chapter of local history with each bite.
What we will see
Kalsa district
Tasting session of Sicilian fried food
Ballarò market
Tasting session of stuffed sardines
Cathedral, Capo market, Teatro Massimo
Tasting session of cannoli
What we will do
Our excursion to discover Sicilian “street food” starts in the Kalsa district, built during Islamic rule and once a fortified city
where the emir and his ministers lived.
Strolling around the lively popular alleyways, we take in a unique Eastern atmosphere emphasised by monuments in the Arab-
Norman style and stop to enjoy delicious Sicilian fried foods - panelle, arancini and crocchette truly delight our palates.
We venture into the old city as far as Ballarò market, where we admire displays of juicy fruit, spices and fresh fish as our ears
fill with expressions in the local dialect.
We then seat in a typical local trattoria to enjoy the famous sarde a beccafico (stuffed sardines), a tasty dish that takes us
straight to the heart of the Sicilian cuisine.
Our itinerary continues to see some of the city's sights: we walk by the Cathedral, a charming combination of shapes and
styles, cross the Capo market famous for its size and folklore, and admire Teatro Massimo, the largest opera theatre in Italy.
We then make one last stop at the most famous café in Palermo where we try a sublime cannolo, the king of Sicilian
traditional desserts and a perfect end to our excursion dedicated to food.

We experience the thrill of driving up and down golden sand dunes in our comfortable 4x4 vehicles.
After a daring drive, we stop at a camp, a peaceful, sheltered place recreating an authentic Arab setting. There we can relax
and enjoy the silence of the desert, surrounded by impressive sand dunes that seem to glow in the sunset.
For dinner at the camp we are treated to a sumptuous Arab-style barbecue with succulent meats and fresh salads.
After dinner, we can relax and smoke shisha while we watch an fascinating belly dancing show under the stars.
We will also be able to enjoy other exciting experiences at the camp, which only the desert can offer: riding on the back of a
camel, skiing down sand dunes or even, weather permitting, admiring the sun set behind the dunes. It will definitely be an
unforgettable evening.

Description
Soaring skyscrapers and super-luxury hotels provide a stark contrast to the typical markets. Dubai is a blend of tradition and
modernity, as we discover on this excursion that includes a relaxing cup of tea at the Atlantis Hotel
What we will see
Burj Al Arab
Palm Jumeirah
Atlantis Hotel
Tea at the AYAMNA Restaurant
Lost Chambers
Souk Al Bahar

What we will do
Our excursion will start outside the famous 7-star Burj Al Arab hotel with its distinctive sail shape, which we can immortalize
with wonderful photos.
Our next stop will take us to the Palm Jumeirah, inaugurated by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum as
the eighth wonder of the world, where the Atlantis hotel awaits us in all its glory. It boasts 1,539 rooms and suites set on an
artificial island in the middle of the crescent-shaped Palm Jumeirah, linked to the mainland by a monorail.
It is impossible not to be amazed by the impressive glass sculpture in the foyer, which stands 10 metres tall and cost around
10 million dollars to build. It is made up of more than 3,000 pieces of hand-blown glass and it took two years to complete.
Our tasting session will treat us to all kinds of local aromas and flavours, expertly blended in the Arab-style Ossiano tea room,
enriching our experience in this truly unique resort.
The mythical lost city of Atlantis will come back to life as we make our way through the maze of paths and secret tunnels in
The Lost Chambers Aquarium.
After leaving the hotel, we will visit the souk Al Bahar, or “fishermen's market". Despite its name, this market offers many
varieties of fragrant Arab perfumes, hand-woven rugs and state-of-the-art cameras. It is also an exceptional place to take
magnificent photos of Burj Khalifa, the tallest tower in the world.
Places are limited, so please reserve early.
The order of visits may vary.
Because of the differences in temperature between the places visited and the air-conditioned vehicles and the temperature
outside, we recommend that you wear a light cotton jumper.
Dress code smart casual, shirt with collar, closed shoes (ladies can enter with opened shoes), no trainers, no t-shirt, no blue
jeans, no short pants.

Our coach then take us to the Burj Khalifa, the tallest skyscraper in the world and an exhilarating ride in the lift at a speed of
10 metres per second, takes us up to the 124th floor where we can admire the 360° panoramic view of the city, the desert
and the ocean.
With our feet firmly back on the ground, we will have some free time for a stroll and to do some shopping at the Dubai Mall,
considered the largest shopping centre in the world with 1,200 shops.
Our next stop is the incredible sail shaped Burj Al Arab super-luxury hotel, which has become a symbol of Dubai. Our photo
album of Dubai would not be complete without a reminder of this wonderful building and the coast of the Persian Gulf which
frames it.
After lunch, we set off to discover the old part of Dubai: the charm of the Al Bastakiya district, an area that has preserved its
historic heritage dating back to the time when oil was first struck. The walls of the houses still enclose charming gardens where
we can still catch a glimpse of decorations which once lavishly adorned them. The most intriguing part of these places is the
presence of so-called barjeel towers: wind towers that rise above the rooftops channelling wind to the gardens and rooms
below for cooling. These towers have become a symbol of the district.
After visiting the Dubai Museum, not far from Al Bastakiya, we take an exciting boat ride across Dubai Creek in an abra, a
wooden boat used as a river taxi.
