On this Balearic Sea adventure that combines a land program and an elegant cruise, take an in-depth journey into the culture, history, and cuisine of cities along the Catalan coast and the Balearic island of Mallorca. Experience the gems of Catalonia, starting with Girona, Northern Catalonia's largest city. Over three nights with accommodations at an elegant hotel, discover Girona's museums, galleries, and fine Romanesque and Gothic buildings, and visit the Museu d'Història dels Jueus, which highlights the contributions of Girona's once-flourishing Jewish community. Continue to Figueres, birthplace of Salvador Dalí and now home to his flamboyant theater-museum. Then, visit Cadaqués, where Dalí's otherworldly seaside home stands. In Barcelona, explore its kaleidoscope of remarkable architecture, and admire modernist works by Picasso, Miró, and Gaudí. Embark Sea Cloud II and head for the Balearic island of Mallorca. In its capital, Palma de Mallorca, tour La Seu, a spectacular sandstone cathedral that took 600 years to build. On the Catalan coast, visit Valencia, where architectural styles abound, including architect Santiago Calatrava's modern masterpieces. Conclude amid the Roman ruins of Tarragona, formerly Tarraco, the Iberian Peninsula's oldest Roman settlement, before returning to Barcelona for disembarkation.
