Land Programs & Hotels

  • Explore prominent landmarks and extraordinary cities that define Spain, many of them World Heritage sites, an experience that will leave you with a deeper historical and cultural perspective of the country.

    NOTE: this program ends in Madrid, Spain therefore departing flights need to be booked out of the Madrid International Airport (MAD). This tour is not recommended for guests with walking difficulties or for those who use a wheelchair, walker or scooter due to the amount of walking, many steps and cobbled surfaces. There are long segments of driving on this program.

    DAY 1

    After disembarking the cruise ship in Barcelona, you will enjoy a leisurely and immensely scenic drive to the Poblet Monastery. A 12th-century church stands at the center of this sacred World Heritage site, which features a fortified royal residence. While touring, you will learn about the monks’ lifestyle in the Middle Ages and the mountainous route that connects this Cisterian monastery to two others.

    Continuing on to the nearby medieval village of Montblanc, you can expect to see its Gothic churches, the royal palace and the city’s 14th-century stone walls, more than half of which still exist. Free time follows, during which you can explore further. The centrally located Plaza Mayor is a great starting point for shopping and people-watching.

    Afterwards, you will settle in for a relaxing drive to Zaragoza, the capital of the province that lies on the Ebro River. Upon arriving, you will check into your hotel, where the remainder of the day will be at your leisure with dinner on your own.

    Note: At the Monastery of Poblet you will have approximately 1.5 km / .9 miles of walking and about 10 steps to negotiate. In Montblanc there will be approximately 1 km./.06 miles of walking over cobblestone surfaces

    DAY 2

    After breakfast at the hotel, you will spend the next two hours or so exploring Zaragoza, especially the Old Town. Its star attraction is the multi-domed Basilica of Pilar, an important pilgrimage site. According to local legend, the Virgin Mary gave Saint James a pillar made of jasper here and instructed him to build a church on the site. This last version of El Pilar, as it’s known locally, was constructed beginning in the late 17th century.

    You will next visit the ancient town of Medinaceli, which in Arabic and means “City on the Hill.” The Romans founded the city and structures from that time still remain, the most famous being a stone arch built in the 2nd century. Other highlights include a 17th-century palace and a Gothic church built even earlier.

    Following lunch, you will settle in for a relaxing drive to Madrid, where you will check into the Eurostar Madrid Tower or similar hotel. The remainder of the day will be at your leisure with dinner on your own.

    Note: In Zaragoza there will be approximately 1 km/ .6 miles of walking over flat, paved surfaces. In Medinaceli, 1.5km / .9 miles over cobbled and paved surfaces with slight inclines.

    DAY 3

    Following breakfast at the hotel, you will depart for Toledo, a city so architecturally rich that Spain has declared it a national monument. UNESCO agreed and designated the historic center a World Heritage site, in part because three religions existed harmoniously here—Christianity, Islam and Judaism.

    As you walk through this extraordinary city on the Tagus River, you will get a genuine feel for what life was like here in the Middle Ages. The historic city center is that atmospheric. The Toledo Cathedral is particularly impressive, as it is considered one of Europe’s greatest Gothic buildings. Built over nearly three centuries, starting in 1226, the cathedral contains a spectacular high altar and two painting by El Greco, the famed painter that lived in Toledo.

    Lunch follows, after which you will proceed to Madrid. As an introduction to Spain’s vibrant capital, you will drive past key landmarks before starting an enlightening walking tour in Plaza Mayor. This grand arcaded square in the heart of the city offers wonderful options for shopping and dining nearby, as you may discover during free time.

    By late afternoon, you will return to the hotel, where you will spend the evening with dinner on your own.

    Note: In Toledo there will be approximately 2.5 km / 1.5 miles of walking over paved and cobblestone surfaces with some ascending inclines. In Madrid you will have approximately 1.5km / .9 miles of walking over flat, paved surfaces.

    DAY 4

    After breakfast at the hotel, you will drive to Segovia, a World Heritage site perhaps best known for its aqueduct that was probably constructed during the reign of Roman emperor Trajan. Until about 100 years ago, the aqueduct still carried water from the Frio River into Segovia 10 miles away.

    The Alcazar is another landmark that is impossible to miss. Construction began in the 12th century and its fabulous fairy-tale style supposedly inspired the design of the Walt Disney castle in part. You will also spend time in Segovia’s walled upper town, whose cathedral is the last Gothic one built in Spain. It stands where Isabella I was proclaimed the Queen of Castile in 1474.

    Following lunch in Segovia, you will drive to the 16th-century Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial on the outskirts of Madrid. It too is a World Heritage site and celebrated for its austere appearance, which influenced Spanish architecture for the next half century or so. As you wander through the interior, the guide will describe the building’s illustrious history, including how King Philip II conceived El Escorial as a funerary monument for his father.

    After visiting, you will return to the hotel in Madrid, where you will spend the evening with dinner on your own.

  • Become immersed in the events of D-Day through compelling attractions that present its every detail and discover how the Normandy region has flourished in the aftermath of World War II and honors its past.

    DAY 1 – August 11, 2025

    After disembarking the ship in Saint-Malo via tender boat, you will meet the guide on the pier and board a coach for the drive to Omaha Beach, one of the five historical D-Day landing beaches.

    After a photo stop at Omaha Beach, where some of the most intense fighting took place, you will continue on to

    Bayeux, one of Normandy's greatest medieval centers. Here, a guided walking tour of Bayeux and some free time for lunch will provide you with an excellent overview of the city.

    Continuing on, you will drive to Caen, near the Normandy beaches. Caen became the hinge of the Allied advance out of their Normandy beachhead. It was also the key to the Germans’ defensive strategy. Beginning on D-Day (June 6, 1944), it was subjected to a month of bombardment and shelling by U.S. and British forces that killed thousands of civilians and left the city largely destroyed.

    Upon entering the Caen Memorial, you will receive an audio guide that will describe the museum exhibits in fascinating detail. The museum was born out of the desire to create a place for reflecting on wars based on these memorable events. Far from concentrating solely on commemoration, the Memorial – a museum for peace – presents the stakes involved in the Second World War and the course and significance of the war.

    This unique museum utilizes a participatory approach to history, placing you in a multi-media historical setting, bringing the action to life with you in its midst.

    After browsing the Caen Memorial, you will drive to your hotel and check-in for the evening. Dinner will be served at the hotel.

    DAY 2 – August 12, 2025

    Following breakfast at the hotel and check out, you will drive to Arromanches to visit the D-Day Landing Museum, which is built on the site of the British artificial port that was used for supplying the troops engaged in the Battle of Normandy. The exhibits depict the planning and execution of the D-Day landings as well as the aftermath of the battle.

    Later, you will drive into the heart of the Pays d'Auge region and stop in Pont-l’Evêque. There, you will visit the Calvados Experience, an immersive multi-sensory attraction that will take you through the transformation that turns apples into Calvados, Normandy’s famed apple brandy. A tasting follows, during which you will discover why Calvados is so celebrated.

    In time, you will drive through the lush Norman countryside to the city of Honfleur, a former fishing village. This colorful port, located on the Seine estuary, has remained a major center for the arts for centuries. Enjoy some free time for lunch in one of the many cafés or restaurants along the port. Admire the picturesque narrow streets and the timber-framed houses of this charming perfectly preserved 13th-century Norman village.

    You will then drive to Rouen for an enlightening walking tour through the most historical part of the city. You will see the Old Marketplace where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake in 1431 and the modern Joan of Arc Church completed in 1979. Other highlights include Gros Horloge Street with its belfry and a sculpted archway on which rests a Renaissance lodge decorated with clock faces that still indicate the time of the day, the phases of the moon and the days of the week. You will also discover the Law Courts, the seat of Normandy’s Parliament and the cathedral, made famous by Claude Monet’s paintings of its façade.

    Afterwards, you will check into your hotel for the evening and enjoy dinner there.

    DAY 3 – August 13, 2025

    After breakfast at your hotel and check out, you will transfer to Calais and re-embark the ship.

  • Explore the landmarks in Cairo and the nearby wonders of the ancient world with an Egyptologist that will enhance your understanding of iconic attractions such as the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Sphinx.

    Note: this program is limited to 30 guests.

    DAY 1

    After disembarking the ship in Port Said, you will begin the 3-hour transfer to Cairo, accompanied by an Egyptologist well versed in the study of ancient Egypt. The Egyptologist will possess the rare ability to simply explain even the most complex concepts of the ancient world and answers any questions that you may have. Consequently, you will better understand the landmarks of Cairo and the pyramids that you will see nearby.

    You will first visit a medieval Islamic fortress in Cairo known as The Citadel and the adjacent Mosque of Muhammad Ali, which is often called the Alabaster Mosque due to the extensive use of that stone throughout the building. The mosque is the largest such structure in Cairo built during the first half of the 19th century, and it looks impressive even from a distance.

    Next, you will visit the unique Al-Muallaqa, one of the oldest and most fascinating Christian places of worship in Egypt. It rises atop an old Roman fortress gatehouse with its nave suspended over the passage – the reason it is nicknamed the Hanging Church.

    Then, there is St. Sergis Church, which was built upon an ancient Roman fort. This church has acquired a special religious status among Coptic churches because it is associated with the Holy Family's journey through Egypt.

    Continuing on, you will stop at the Ben Ezra Synagogue. Set in a shade garden, the synagogue was built on the site of a 4th-century Christian church and is amongst Egypt’s oldest synagogues. If the venue is closed, St. George Church will be substituted.

    Following lunch, you will have the opportunity to browse Khan El-Khalili, an open-air bazaar established in the 14th century. As you meander through the market’s labyrinthine alleyways, you will find everything from handcrafted jewelry to carpets and clothing. You can likely observe artisans at work and perhaps purchase one of their works.

    Later in the afternoon, you will transfer to your hotel for check-in and dinner.

    As a special treat, you will attend a private lecture with a local specialist such as the head of the High Council of Antiquities or perhaps the former Minister of Tourism and Culture. The exact details of the lecture will be provided closer to the event.

    DAY 2

    Following an early-morning breakfast at the hotel and check-out, you will drive to the Step Pyramid of Sakkara, which overlooks Djoser’s mortuary complex. Dating from 2700 B.C., the Step Pyramid is the oldest stone structure in the world and was designed by Imhotep for King Djoser. The complex also contains 16 other pyramids in various stages of preservation.

    Because the necropolis complex was buried beneath the sands for much of the past two millennia, even the sizable mortuary surrounding Djoser’s pyramid was not unearthed until 1924. As a result, many of the mastaba tombs have been superbly preserved with both their structures and lavish interior decorations intact.

    At one of the ancient sites, you will have private access to observe an excavation in progress. While there is no telling what you will see, watching the archaeologists at work will be an extraordinary experience.

    You will then travel to the legendary Great Pyramid of Giza, the sole remaining Wonder of the Ancient World. Built as a royal tomb for the pharaoh Khufu, who ruled in the 25th Century BCE, it is largest and oldest of a group of three pyramids. The other two pyramids were constructed to hold the mummified remains of the pharaoh’s son and successor Chephren and Chephren’s son, Mykerinus.

    Southeast of the Great Pyramid stands the Sphinx, the monument of a mythical creature with the head of a man and the body of a lion. It was carved out of solid limestone around 2650 B.C .and faces east, probably to greet the rising sun and the return of life each day.

    Your tour of the Pyramids area includes an optional inside visit to the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops Pyramid), which is made up of approximately 2.3 million blocks of limestone. You will also have panoramic views and photo opportunities of the three Pyramids and the Sphinx.

    Note: There are many uneven steps at the entrance to the pyramid. Once inside, there are pathways where you can stand as well as inclined walkways with steps where you will need to bend down while walking. It is also quite warm inside. Guests must be sure-footed, in fairly good physical shape and not prone to claustrophobia. Narrow walkways going up are shared with guests who are coming down. There are no remains inside the tomb.

    After visiting the pyramid, you will enjoy a culinary Egyptian food experience at a nearby restaurant. The set menu will include various Egyptian specialties in small portions so you can try them all. The Egyptologist will explain the dishes and their origins.

    Finally, you will visit the Grand Egyptian Museum, the world’s largest archaeological museum. Of all its priceless artifacts, the items from King Tutankhamen’s tomb is the highlight, as the full collection has never been displayed in one place before.

    After this enlightening experience, you will drive to the port of Alexandria to re-board the ship. The drive is approximately 3 hours. A comfort stop is not included as there are restrooms on the tour coaches.

    Disembark the ship in Belfast, Ireland, meet our local ground team and transfer to the Belfast Airport for a flight to Edinburgh. Note: The flight is not escorted.

Perched on its rocky site 445 feet above the city, the castle has been home to Scottish Kings and Queens for centuries. See the 15th-century Old Royal Palace which houses the Scottish Crown Jewels and the apartment in which Mary, Queen of Scots gave birth to the future King James VI of Scotland who also became James I of England. This castle has witnessed many tense moments in its thousand-year history.

    Then you will transfer to your hotel for check-in and an evening at leisure. The Caledonian Edinburgh Hotel(formerly the Waldorf Astoria) is a true icon on Princess Street. Opened in 1903, this hotel combines modern luxury and Victorian style in a former rail station.

    After breakfast at the hotel, meet your guide in the hotel lobby. Begin with a transfer to Dean Village, a tranquil green oasis on the Water of Leith, and only a five-minute’s walk from Princes Street. The village once housed various mills and remnants of the industries can still be seen today. Be sure to notice the mill stones and carved stone plaques on display outdoors.

    Following the walkway along the Water of Leith on foot, you will come to the impressive Dean Bridge designed by Thomas Telford and the classical temple of St Bernard’s Well. You will also pass Well Court, built in the 1880s as model housing for local workers. It adds to the picturesque charm of the area.

    Next you will transfer to Hollyrood House, a royal residence and the official home of the queen when she is in Scotland. There, you will gain an understanding of the palace's close associations with some of Scotland’s most well-known historical figures such as Mary, Queen of Scots, and Bonnie Prince Charlie. You will also learn how the queen uses the palace when carrying out official engagements.

    You will then be given time on the Royal Mile for lunch at your leisure.

    Return to your hotel for some time to freshen before the main event – the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

Your evening begins with a private three-course dinner of traditional Scottish cuisine. From your reserved seats, witness this memorable night unfolding in comfort and in front of the floodlit Castle Esplanade.

    You’ll watch as an ensemble cast of international performers regales you with a vibrant pageant of folkloric dance, historic re-enactments, and military precision displays. Feel your heart synchronize to the commanding rhythm of the Massed Pipes and Drums, played by the Bands of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines, along with visiting civilians and military bands –a tribute to the traditional battle signals of Scotland’s Regiments.

    Your first stop will be at the iconic Malahide Castle which is located in the picturesque seaside village of Malahide. King Henry II gifted Richard Talbot the lands and harbor of Malahide for his services to the crown in 1185. The castle sits on 268-acre grounds and includes a 20-acre garden with more than 5,000 species of plants.

    The structure boasts circular towers, a Gothic entrance porch, exquisite Irish period furniture and historical portraits from the collection of the late Lord Talbot. In the interactive exhibition area, the history of the Talbot Family is retold, and you will have time to enjoy this before partaking on a guided tour throughout the reception rooms of this magnificent landmark.

    Following your visit to Malahide Castle you will pass through the village of Malahide, a noted yachting center as well as Portmarnock where the world-famous Portmarnock Golf Club is located. This club was for many years home of the Irish Open Championship.

    Soon you will arrive in the quaint fishing port of Howth and stop at the 11th-century Abbey Tavern for lunch. Nestling against the ancient ruins of Howth Abbey with the lovely fishing harbor and marina below, Abbey Tavern is an ideal spot in which to enjoy a short rest and savor the genuine atmosphere of old Ireland. As you enter, you will be struck by its old-world charm, authenticity and simplicity. Blazing turf fires, original stonewalls, flagstone floors and gaslights make for a truly warm welcome.

    Departing Howth, you will travel to Dublin’s city center for a panoramic overview of the city and some free time to explore on your own before continuing to Dun Laoghaire where you will re-join the ship.

  • Discover the ancient wonders in and around Cairo, including the Great Pyramid of Giza and the complete King Tut collection before flying to Luxor, aptly known as the world’s greatest open-air museum, to explore the beauty and mystery of Egypt’s ancient temples and tombs located there.

    Special Note: Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.

    NOTE: This program involves extensive walking over uneven ground and is thus not suitable for guests with walking difficulties or for those who require a wheelchair.

    DAY 1

    Disembark the ship in Port Said, meet your guide and begin the 3-hour drive to Cairo. No stops are scheduled as the tour coaches have restrooms on board.

    Your first visit when you arrive in Cairo is the area of the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Sphinx. Renowned as one of the Seven Wonders of the World and the last remaining of the ancient world wonders, the Great Pyramid is comprised of 2.3 million stone blocks, each weighing between 2.5 and 15 tons. Exactly how the ancient Egyptians constructed this architectural wonder remains a mystery.

    The Sphinx, with the body of a lion and the face of a man, is also massive and towers 72 feet high and stretches 164 feet long. It faces east, greeting the rising sun each day.

    View the exterior of each with ample photo taking opportunities.

    After lunch you will visit the new Grand Egyptian Museum which is considered to be the biggest archeological museum in Africa and the Middle East where the most important pieces of Egyptian ancient history are on display. One of the highlights of your visit will be King Tutankhamen exhibition hall where the full collection of the Boy King will be displayed for the first time in one place.

    Proceed to your hotel for check in and dinner.

    DAY 2

    Due to the early wake up call, a breakfast box will be provided this morning before the group departs for the Cairo airport. Board a one-hour flight to Luxor where your first visit will be to the Karnak Temple.

    Located about two miles north of the Luxor Temple but connected to it by an impressive avenue of sphinxes, the Karnak Temple was the most important sanctuary of ancient Egypt, and the heart of the cult of the god Amon. Each pharaoh added his own contribution to the temple over the ensuing 2,000 years.

    The Ptolemies erected the massive first pylon you will see. Past the second pylon, which is guarded by a pair of huge statues of Ramses II, you will find the great hypo-style hall, the largest hall of any temple in the world. It spans 50,000 square feet and contains 134 enormous columns. You may notice that some of the columns still have traces of the brilliant paint that originally covered them. The third pylon leads to the center court, and past the fourth pylon is the 97-foot-high obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut, carved from a solid piece of pink granite.

    As you pass through successive pylons and courts, you will journey back in time until you reach the oldest part of the temple, built by the pharaohs of the middle kingdom around 2000 B.C. At the south end of the temple, you will find the sacred lake where ceremonial boats took part in the worship of Amon.

    Next, embark on a Dahabeya boat for a cruise along the Nile including lunch. Disembark on the west bank of the city where you will explore the Valley of the Kings hidden in the foothills of the Gourma Mountains.

    More than 60 tombs of pharaohs and noblemen have been excavated in this valley. The kings’ formal names and titles are inscribed in their tombs, along with their images and statues. Between the 18th and 20th dynasties, the kings abandoned the Memphis area and built their tombs in Thebes.

    Enjoy a special visit to the longest and one of the most beautiful tombs in the valley known as Seti I Tomb. It is still recognized as an elaborately decorated monument from the times of Seti I and his son, Ramesses II.

    The most fascinating aspects of the tomb are the well-crafted decorations that brought antiquity to vivid life

    Next you will visit King Tutankhamun's tomb where his mummy still rests, and if time permits, you may be able to have a look into one or two other tombs in the area.

    Next, a photo stop will be made at the Colossi of Memnon. This structure was originally built as a mortuary temple in Thebes and guarded by two gigantic statues on the outer gates. All that remains today are the 75-foot-high, 1,000-ton statues of Amenhotep III. Though damaged by nature and ancient tourists, the statues are still impressive, nonetheless.

    NOTE: there are a series of steps (up to approximately 20 steps per chamber) to go down into the various tombs in the Valley of the Kings and the ground surrounding the tombs is uneven and dusty. It is also extremely hot here.

    The program ends with a flight to Alexandria airport and a one-hour drive to the port of Alexandria where you will rejoin the ship.

  • Discover the ancient wonders in and around Cairo, including the Great Pyramid of Giza, the complete King Tut collection, the medieval Citadel fortress and a bazaar dating to the 14th century.

    NOTE: This program involves extensive walking over uneven ground and is thus not suitable for guests with walking difficulties or for those who require a wheelchair.

    Day 1

    Disembark the ship in Port Said, meet your guide and begin the three-hour drive to Cairo.

    No comfort stop is scheduled as there are restrooms on the tour coaches.

    Your first visit in Cairo will be to a medieval Islamic fortress known simply as The Citadel and the adjacent Mosque of Muhammad Ali, which is often called the Alabaster Mosque due to the extensive use of that stone throughout the building. The mosque is the largest such structure built in Cairo during the first half of the 19th century and looks impressive even from a distance.

    Next, visit the unique Hanging Church. Known also as Al-Muallaqa Church, it is one of the oldest and most interesting Christian places of worship in Egypt. The building rises atop one of the old Roman fortress gatehouses, with its nave suspended over the passage, hence the name “Hanging Church”.

    Next to it is St. Sergis Church which was built upon an ancient Roman fort. This church has acquired a special religious status among Coptic churches because it is associated with the Holy Family's journey through Egypt.

    Continue to the Ben Ezra Synagogue. Set in a shade garden, the synagogue was built on the site of a 4th-Century Christian church and is amongst Egypt’s oldest synagogues.

    Lunch will be served in local restaurant and then later in the afternoon, you will have the opportunity to browse Khan El-Khalili, an open-air bazaar established in the 14th Century. As you meander through the market’s labyrinthine alleyways, you will find everything from handcrafted jewelry to carpets and clothing. Enjoy exploring the fascinating maze of alleyways and workshops, where you can observe artisans at work and perhaps pick up a souvenir or two.

    Transfer to your hotel for check-in and dinner.

    Note: Ben Ezra Synagogue has been closed since August 2022 for restoration, should it not be open by the time this program operates, a visit will be made instead to St George Church.

    Day 2

    Following an early-morning breakfast at the hotel and check out, you will drive to the Step Pyramid of Sakkara, which overlooks Djoser’s mortuary complex. Dating from 2700 BC, the Step Pyramid is the oldest stone structure in the world and was designed by Imhotep for King Djoser. The complex also contains 16 other pyramids in various stages of preservation.

    Because the necropolis complex was buried beneath the sands for much of the past two millennia, even the sizable mortuary surrounding Djoser’s pyramid was not unearthed until 1924. As a result, many of the mastaba tombs have been superbly preserved with both their structures and lavish interior decorations intact.

    You will then travel to the legendary Great Pyramid of Giza, the sole remaining Wonder of the Ancient World. Built as a royal tomb for Cheops, it is largest of a group of three pyramids, the other two pyramids constructed to hold the mummified remains of the pharaoh’s son and successor Chephren and Chephren’s son, Mykerinus.

    Southeast of the Great Pyramid stands the Sphinx, the monument of a mythical creature with the head of a man and the body of a lion. It was carved out of solid limestone around 2650 BC and faces east, probably to greet the rising sun and the return of life each day.

    Note: interior visits are not included however ample time is allotted for photos.

    Your tour of the Pyramids area also includes outside visits to the Cheops and Chephren Pyramids, and panoramic views and photo opportunities of the three Pyramids and the Sphinx.

    Following lunch at a nearby restaurant, you will visit the Grand Egyptian Museum, the world’s largest archaeological museum. Of all its priceless artifacts, the items from King Tutankhamen’s tomb is the highlight, as the full collection has never been displayed in one place before.

    After this enlightening experience, you will drive to the port of Alexandria to re-board the ship. The drive is approximately 3 hours. A comfort stop is not included as there are restrooms on the tour coaches.

    DAY 1 – October 30, 2025

    Set off from the pier in Livorno with your local escort and meander your way through the countryside towards Florence, the “cradle of the Renaissance” as it’s commonly nicknamed.

    Wherever you look around, you’ll find yourself surrounded by historical buildings which bear the mark of the history of Florence. After checking in at your hotel and dropping off your luggage, enjoy lunch at Osteria Pagliazza, reputed to be one of the best restaurants in Florence, located on the ground floor of the Brunelleschi Hotel, a very exclusive hotel located in the shadow of the dome of Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral.

San Gimignano’s tall walls and narrow streets are typical of Tuscan hill towns, but it's the medieval "skyscrapers" that set the town apart from its neighbors. Today, fourteen of the original seventy-six towers have survived.

    After a short introduction by your guide, you will have some free time to stroll at leisure in town, browsing through the many handicraft shops and admiring the medieval architecture which has landed the historic center on the UNESCO World Heritage list.

    You will then meet your guide again and drive to “Fattoria Poggio Alloro”. This simple, family establishment welcomes guests for a visit of their cellar, shed, vineyards and olive groves. It is here that you will experience and soak in the authentic atmosphere of a traditional Italian farmhouse.

    Poggio Alloro features all organic products such as wine, oil, and cereals. The farm also claims one of the most ancient Tuscan breeds of cattle, the selected Chianina breed. After a chance to browse, you will engage in a cooking class where you will learn how to prepare fresh handmade pasta, which you will then enjoy during your lunch while tasting their delicious wines.

    Eventually it will be time to say goodbye to your hosts and you will return to the port of Livorno where you will reboard the ship.
