13	TH	Nuku Hiva, Marquesas Islands X Nuku Hiva, Marquesas Islands The stunningly beautiful island of Nuku Hiva is the largest of the Marquesas Islands of French Polynesia, and an overseas territory of France. The first people to arrive here came from Micronesia over 2000 years ago, and later colonized Tahiti, Hawaii, The Cook Islands and New Zealand. The legend has it that Ono, the god of creation, promised his wife he would build a house in one day, so he gathered together land and created these islands, all named after parts of the house. Nuku Hiva is the roof of Ono's house. Its volcanic origins are responsible for the dramatic scenery and vast natural harbor that exist due to the partial collapse of a volcano's caldera.	8:00 AM	2:00 PM

16	SU	Moorea, Tahiti X Moorea, Tahiti Moorea, Tahiti's sister island, has a distinct geography and charm all its own. Just eleven miles away from Tahiti, the jagged peaks of Moorea beckon one to take the short trip and be rewarded with tranquil beauty and a pace of life much slower than Papeete's. The 53 square mile island can be circled via a 33-mile coastal road that affords glimpses of Polynesian life children fishing from a bridge, women in bright-colored pareus riding bicycles or motorscooters, and skinny loaves of French bread sticking out of wooden mail boxes. In the villages, fascinating Chinese stores carry everything from brightly printed fabric and exotic herbs to fresh fruits, canned vegetables, plastic dishpans, and bicycle tires. Most of the 6,000 inhabitants live in villages along the narrow coastal shelf with mountains covered in lush vegetation soaring skyward behind tin-roofed, wooden houses.	8:00 AM	6:00 PM
17	M	Bora Bora, French Polynesia X Bora Bora, French Polynesia Formed approximately 20 million years ago, the 130 islands that make up French Polynesia are considered fairly new from a geological point of view. The most acclaimed of these islands, Bora Bora, has long been noted for its stunning beauty. A tiny island (less than 20 miles in circumference), Bora Bora is dominated by the castle-like Mount Otemanu and Mount Pahia, two volcanic peaks with lush tropical slopes covered in coconut palms, blossoming Tiare and hibiscus. A protective coral reef encloses Bora Bora, and the lagoon is dotted with colorful motus, or islets. Perfect white-sand beaches give way to brilliant turquoise and sapphire-colored waters, and locals in the small village of Viatape sell colorful pareu (Tahitian sarong), sculptures carved from native woods and precious black pearls.	8:00 AM	6:00 PM

19	W	Rarotonga, Cook Islands X Rarotonga, Cook Islands Rarotonga was one of the last of the Cook Islands to be visited by European ships, but since its "discovery," it was always a favorite of sailors and merchants. Many old South Sea hands consider it the most beautiful island in the Pacific. Today, Rarotonga is the most populous island of Cook Islands, and the location of the country’s capital, Avarua. The name stems from "raro" meaning "down" and "tonga" meaning "south." Isolated for years from major tourist routes, travelers began to arrive in Rarotonga following the opening of the international airport in 1974, many lured by the untouched beauty of pristine white sand beaches edged with swaying palms and crystal-clear lagoons protected by coral reefs. With its jagged volcanic peaks, deep valleys, fertile slopes of red earth and sparkling aquamarine lagoon, Rarotonga comes pretty close to the classic image of paradise.	8:00 AM	1:00 PM

Tenders take you ashore to the historic town of Russell, the first permanent European settlement and seaport in New Zealand. From the early 1800's, whaling ships anchored here, and despite the efforts of missionaries, Russell was a rough and lawless town. By 1830, there was a sizable settlement, and after British control was established, conflict developed between British settlers and the indigenous Maoris. Today, Russell is a peaceful retreat with old world charm that comes alive in the summer months as a vacation hideaway for international visitors and Aucklanders. Wander through the historic district, stop in a pub for a refreshment or discover some of Russell's many charming shops.	1:00 PM	7:00 PM

In addition, Auckland's diverse geography and warm, humid climate has inspired a lifestyle regularly ranked in the world's top ten. Within a half hours drive from the city is an abundance of activities: sailing to a secluded island, trekking through the rainforest, picnicking on a volcano, sampling wines at a vineyard or exploring a black sand beach. Auckland's highest point, Mount Eden (643 feet), offers incredible city views, reinforcing the claim that the twin harbors are among the most beautiful in the world.	8:00 AM	5:00 PM

Located 50 miles southeast of Christchurch, this quaint seaside town is situated on the southern side of the Banks Peninsula and has a distinct French flavor to it. Many street names are of French origin because of its French Whaling and colonial history. One of the first settlements in the Canterbury region of the South New Zealand Island, the town has a rich Maori and British heritage, as well as its French history. Today, the town center is dotted with colonial architecture, and the harbor area is lined with boutiques and cafes.	1:00 PM	11:00 PM

Beautifully situated in a natural amphitheater at the head of a long fjord-like inlet, Dunedin was the first permanent European settlement in New Zealand, founded in 1848. Not long afterwards, gold was discovered in the region, and the province quickly became the richest and most influential in the colony. Dunedin is the home of New Zealand's first university and is known for its octagon-shaped streets and quaint Victorian buildings. While Christchurch is New Zealand's most English town, Dunedin is its most Scottish; the name Dunedin is the old Gaelic name for Edinburgh.

3	TH	Hobart, Tasmania, Australia X Hobart, Tasmania, Australia Located south of Australia's mainland, tiny Tasmania is one of the country's most fascinating tourist destinations for overseas visitors, and a favorite holiday retreat for Australians. The island was settled in 1803 as a British penal colony, then called Van Diemen's Land. Over 70,000 prisoners were sent to the island between 1803 and 1850, with the result that today a sixth of the island's inhabitants are direct descendants of convicts. The arrival of prisoners stopped in 1853, and in 1856 the island's name was changed to Tasmania in honor of the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman. For many visitors the lure of Tasmania lies not in historical mementos but in the island's scenic variety: from the blustery western coastline, to rugged mountain ranges and tranquil valleys, to quaint east coast fishing ports and beach resorts. Historic Hobart, the capital city, is surrounded by one of world's finest deep-water harbors, and forested Mount Wellington provides a spectacular backdrop. Along the harbor, ships' bows loom over the side streets, and fishing vessels, draped with nets, prove irresistible to photographers. Winding streets, Georgian cottages, and tiny gardens are part of the city's first settled area, Battery Point.	8:00 AM	5:00 PM

Today, Perth is a lively cosmopolitan city, and the Swan Valley Region is home to more that 40 vineyards, many of which are still run by their original families.

The pharaoh’s tombs in the Valley of the Kings, and the colossal temples of Luxor and Karnak, capture the imagination with splendors that have survived the centuries.	9:00 AM
5	T	Safaga (Luxor), Egypt X Safaga (Luxor), Egypt Set on the Egyptian side of the Red Sea, the port of Safaga provides access to the impressive reef walls and black sand dunes of the Red Sea. More importantly, it is the gateway to some of Egypt's most memorable destinations: Luxor, Karnak and Thebes.

6	W	Aqaba, Jordan X Aqaba, Jordan In 1965, King Hussein traded the Saudis 400 miles of Jordanian desert for eight miles of coastline on the balmy Gulf of Aqaba. The land was the site of Aqaba, a sleepy fishing village with a long and historic past. At various times, the port was a stopover on ancient caravan routes, a garrison for Roman troops and meeting place for pilgrims en route to Mecca. Recent excavations have revealed a 3rd-century church, one of the worlds oldest. In medieval times, Aqaba was an important part of Palestine before being absorbed into the Ottoman Empire, a time when Lawrence of Arabia figured in local history. Today Aqaba is important as Jordan's only deepwater port and the jumping-off point for excursions to Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the country's premier historical attraction.	9:00 AM	7:00 PM
7	TH	Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt X Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt Some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving in the world is found at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula. Here, on a slender promontory where the Gulf of Aqaba meets the Straits of Tiran, Sharm el Sheikh offers access to serene sand beaches, wind-carved cliffs and a wonderland of colorful fish and coral reefs. The area is revered as a place of prophets and miracles, close to St. Catherine's Monastery, the most important religious site in Sinai. Situated at the base of the mountain where Moses received the Ten Commandments, St. Catherine's Monastery is one of the most famous in the world. Built in the 6th century, it is believed to be built around Moses' Burning Bush.	6:00 AM	4:00 PM
8	F	Sokhna (Cairo), Egypt X Sokhna (Cairo), Egypt The state-of-the-art port at Sokhna, about 25 miles south of Suez on the Red Sea coast, is the gateway to the legendary city of Cairo. Following a two and a half hour drive through the intriguing Egyptian countryside to the Plateau Of Giza, the wonders of the ancient world awaits discovery, including the Great Pyramids and mysterious Sphinx. Constructed with blocks of limestone from the Turah hills on the outskirts of Cairo, each pyramid required over 2,300,000 blocks of stone, in turn each weighing about 2½ tons. Another highlight of Cairo is the massive Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. With its 120,000 objects exhibited in 107 halls, the museum houses the world’s greatest collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts including the golden treasures from the tomb of the boy-king Tutankhamen.	7:00 AM	11:00 PM
9	S	Transiting The Suez Canal
9	S	Port Said, Egypt X Port Said, Egypt Port Said sits on a landfill at the Mediterranean entrance to the Suez Canal. Convoys of ships parade past the Canal Authority Building here to begin the journey to the Red Sea. Founded at the start of the canal excavations, Port Said once was the major entry point for tourists stepping off the great Peninsular and Orient passenger liners. More recently the city of half a million has been transformed into a duty free port where Cairo consumers flock to purchase cheap goods. Despite the damage of three recent wars and the current emporium atmosphere, this resilient city retains a good deal of character.	5:00 PM	6:30 PM
10	SU	Ashdod, Israel X Ashdod, Israel Ashdod is Israel's most important port surpassing Haifa in commerce and serving as a major immigration entry point. It is on the site of an ancient Philistine harbor and fort. It is said to be the site of the world's longest siege. According to the Greek historian Herodotus, the city held out for twenty-nine years in the 7th century B.C. before surrendering to Egyptian invaders.	8:00 AM	6:00 PM
11	M	Cruising The Mediterranean Sea
12	T	Heraklion, Crete, Greece X Heraklion, Crete, Greece Crete, Greece's largest island, once cradled the Minoan culture one of the most important and complex of ancient civilizations. It flourished here between 2000 B.C. and 1200 B.C. and extended across the Mediterranean as far as Sicily. Remaining frescoes show bejeweled women, elegantly gowned and elaborately coifed at a time when most of Europe was inhabited by primitive tribes. The downfall of this mighty civilization has the world puzzled to this day. However, one theory blames a geological catastrophe the eruption of the volcano in Santorini for bringing Minoan culture to its dramatic end.In the early 1900s archaeologists were able to begin putting together the story of King Minos thanks to Sir Arthur Evans' determined efforts to uncover Knossos and to establish the main lines of Minoan chronology.With the island's location marking the boundary between Europe and Africa, heavy influences also remain from Arab, Egyptian, Venetian and Ottoman occupations. Crete was not united with the rest of Greece until 1913.Majestic mountains rise in the center of the island, and the plateaus are split by deep gorges ending up in fertile valleys. The scenery is constantly changing in one place harsh and barren, in another wooded and gentle. Small villages and ancient monasteries are perched on mountain ridges, and old stone farmhouses are surrounded by olive trees, orange groves and vineyards. Crete's shore is lined with forbidding rocks, but also boasts numerous sandy or pebbly beaches.Heraklion is the administrative capital of the island and the main center of commerce. Since the discovery of nearby Knossos it has also become the main tourist stopover. Among its major attractions are the Archaeological Museum, dedicated solely to Minoan archaeology, the Venetian Square with its Morosini Fountain, the Church of St. Mark and the 17th century Loggia, which once served as the center for Venetian administration. In the harbor area remain impressive fortifications, adorned with the Venetian symbol of the Lion of St. Mark.The heart of modern Heraklion is the vibrant market, located not far from the Morosini Fountain, and offering a cornucopia of spices, herbs, masses of fish, fruits and vegetables, local baskets and typical everyday notions. From the square in front of the museum are several shopping streets and a pedestrian mall lined with numerous shops, boutiques, restaurants and caf es.	8:00 AM	1:00 PM
13	W	Cruising The Strait Of Messina
14	TH	Sorrento, Italy X Sorrento, Italy With an idyllic cliff-top location on the Bay of Naples, Sorrento has for centuries inspired legends. In Greek mythology the Sirens were said to live here, luring sailors onto the rocks. Today, citrus trees scent the air and add zest to the city's limoncello liqueur. The main square, Piazza Tasso, boasts a monument to the city's most famous son, the 16th-century poet Torquato Tasso. Sorrento is an ideal place to savor the local color, and to shop - especially for marquetry, embroidered linens, cameos and Capodimonte ceramics, all of which can be found in Old Town and along the pedestrian-only Via San Cesareo. All guests participating in today's shore excursions in Sorrento will first be transported by local shuttle from the pier to the motorcoach staging area.	8:00 AM	6:00 PM
15	F	Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy X Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy Originally built by Emperor Trajan who had a villa here, Civitavecchia has flourished as a major port for Rome since the 13th century. Today it is an important ferry terminal and for many travelers the gateway to Rome. The Renaissance fortifications that surround the harbor area were begun by Bramante and completed by Michelangelo in 1535. The port city is pleasant enough in itself with a variety of shops along the main street, a colorful market and a number of restaurants. However, true lovers of "la dolce vita" head straight for Rome, the Eternal City that forever beckons. Its beginnings are shrouded in romantic legend that attributes the city's birth to Romulus in 753 BC, although earlier traces of habitation have been found on Palantine Hill. The Etruscans made it their center first in the 6th century BC and for centuries to follow. The city built on seven hills reigned as the ancient capital of the Western World and a center of Christianity for nearly 2000 years. Rome was not built in a day - and 2,500 years of history crammed into a maze of alleys, squares and monuments cannot be seen in one day either. For a short visit there are "must sees" that combine ancient, papal and modern Rome. However you choose to approach your visit, Rome has much to offer both the first time and the seasoned visitor.	8:00 AM	6:00 PM
16	S	Cruising The Mediterranean Sea
17	SU	Barcelona, Spain X Barcelona, Spain Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is said to have been founded by the Phoenicians, and was once the rival of the powerful states of Venice and Genoa for control of the Mediterranean trade. Today, it is Spain's second largest city and has long rivaled, even surpassed Madrid in industry and commerce. The medieval atmosphere of the Gothic Quarter and the elegant boulevards combine to make the city one of Europe's most beautiful. Barcelona's active cultural life and heritage brought forth such greats as the architect Antonio Gaudi, the painter Joan Miro, and Pablo Picasso, who spent his formative years here. Other famous native Catalan artists include cellist Pau Casals, surrealist Salvador Dali, and opera singers Montserrat Caballe and Josep Carreras. Barcelona accomplished a long-cherished goal with the opportunity to host the Olympics in 1992. This big event prompted a massive building program and created a focal point of the world's attention.	8:00 AM	7:00 PM
18	M	Valencia, Spain X Valencia, Spain Valencia is located 1½ miles from the Mediterranean, in the middle of Europe's most densely developed agricultural region. Originally a Greek settlement, the town was taken over by Romans in 138 BC and turned into a retirement town for old soldiers. Visigoths and Moors in turn continued to improve the complex irrigation system of canals. The Moors controlled the land for 500 years, and this fertile plain, which today yields three to four crops, was considered by them to be heaven on earth. El Cid conquered Valencia for Spain in 1094, but it fell back into Moorish hands after his death. Incorporated into Spain in the 15th century, Valencia remains the nation's breadbasket.	8:00 AM	5:00 PM
19	T	Cartagena, Spain X Cartagena, Spain Founded by Carthaginians in the 3rd century BC, this ancient Mediterranean port city exemplifies the region's tumultuous history. Romans, Visigoths, Castilians and Moors have all left their marks; Sir Francis Drake sacked the town in 1588. Under King Philip II, Cartagena's naturally deep, sheltered harbor was developed into the nation's premier naval base, a position it still enjoys today. Ancient ramparts remain, as does a lighthouse erected in Moorish times. The port area features one of the world's earliest submarines, a 72-foot, 85-ton vessel built in 1888 by a local inventor.	8:00 AM	5:00 PM
20	W	Transiting Strait Of Gibraltar
21	TH	Lisbon, Portugal X Lisbon, Portugal The great period of "the Discoveries" accounted for phenomenal wealth brought back from India, Africa and Brazil by the great Portuguese navigators. Gold, jewels, ivory, porcelain and spices helped finance grand new buildings and impressive monuments in Lisbon, the country's capital city. As you sail up the Tagus River, be on deck to admire Lisbon's panorama and see some of the great monuments lining the river. Lisbon is one of Europe's smallest capital cities but considered by many visitors to be one of the most likeable. Spread over a string of seven hills, the city offers a variety of faces, including a refreshing no-frills simplicity reflected in the people as they go unhurriedly through their day enjoying a hearty and delicious cuisine accompanied by the country's excellent wines.	8:00 AM	6:00 PM

23	S	Bordeaux, France X Bordeaux, France Bordeaux is the starting point for many exciting excursions into the surrounding wine country. The patricians of Bordeaux have always been merchants and shipbuilders. Under the Romans the city had a flourishing trade with Spain and Britain. In 1154, as a part of the dowry of Eleanor of Aquitaine, it became English and remained so until 1453. In the 18th century, Bordeaux prospered from the slave trade, and later in commerce with French colonies in Africa. Since Roman times the quality of the region's vines and wines has been zealously maintained.	11:59 PM	6:00 PM

27	W	Southampton, United Kingdom X Southampton, United Kingdom The south of England boasts a dramatic coastline which encloses some of the most beautiful countryside in Britain. The landscape of hills and heaths, downland and forests, valleys and dales, is without rival. Southampton, the United Kingdom's premier passenger ship port, and home for many years to the great transatlantic liners of yesteryear, has a rich and varied heritage. The remains of the medieval town walls are among the best preserved in the country and fascinating monuments can be found all around the city.	8:00 AM
