6 I ve been on other mediterranean cruises before, but never one like this! Your Ports of Call H. Ryall Smith Washington, D.C. Nice, France (Pre-Cruise Guests) The dignified Queen of the Côte d Azur sits on the rich green-blue sea, beckoning to visitors with her lovely art deco facades, marvelous museums, great shopping & dining, and the charming hilltop villages nearby. Stroll the Promenade des Anglais bordering the water, or wander the outdoor markets of the Cours Saleya to take in a feast for the senses. St. Tropez, France Bright blue water, sun-drenched beaches and glamorous luxury yachts make St. Tropez the most beautiful playground on the Côte d Azur. Relax at the promenade and enjoy people watching that s unequalled anywhere else in the world. Or take in the intoxicating countryside nearby with an optional tour of fragrant Provence...delightful Port Grimaud...or Gassin, with its stunning views. Discover Extraordinary Ports of Call with Newfound Friends on a Dramatically Different All-Gay Mediterranean Cruise. It s an Elite, World-Class Adventure! Ponza, Italy The pastel houses of Ponza rise in neat terraced rows from the busy harbor where yachts and fishing boats co-mingle in harmony. One of Italy s unspoiled Pontine islands, Ponza is a delight to wander. Or you can enjoy the warm sand and cool, clear water at Chiaia di Luna - Ponza s most popular beach - or find yourself a secluded bit of beach all your own. Amalfi, Italy Welcome to one of the world s most dramatically beautiful coastlines, where rose-and-honey colored houses cling to steep cliff sides. In town, lovely Sant Andreas Cathedral and many fine shops await your discovery. You may also opt to visit nearby Positano by private motorboat or tour the fabled ruins of Pompeii. This is your opportunity to experience the heart-stopping Mediterranean destinations that only the most discerning cruisers have experienced. The TravelPride formula for an unforgettable cruise adventure combines a smaller, more personable cruise with a unique itinerary and the freedom to do as much -- or as little -- as you please. All while pampering you with luxurious amenities, gourmet dining and great entertainment. It s TravelPride s floating 5-star hotel approach to gay cruising -- and with our attractive pricing, it represents a real vacation value, too. Sorrento, Italy Overlooking the Bay of Naples and surrounded by fragrant citrus groves and lushly wooded hills, Sorrento offers all the fabled beauty and romance of Italy. Its small squares and cobbled streets are full of great Southern Italian cuisine, wonderful shops and 15th-century treasures. Whatever you chose to do here, Sorrento is truly memorable. Porto Vecchio, Corsica Described by Balzac as a French Island basking in the Italian sun, Corsica has a wild and rugged character all its own. Porto Vecchio, on the island s southeast coast, offers some lovely beaches for you to enjoy - or maybe you ll choose an optional tour to dramatically beautiful Bavella or Sartene and the scenic west coast while we re here. Capri, Italy The island that hosted Chilean poet Pablo Neruda has enchanted many illustrious figures over the centuries. Its renowned Blue Grotto...the famous Faraglioi, three limestone cliffs jutting up from the sea...international café society vibe... and fabulous architecture are all irresistible. As are the many boutiques, galleries and gelato shops in town. Rome, Italy (Post-Cruise Guests) No place but Rome offers such a heady blend of artistic masterpieces, classical ruins, extravagant architecture and contemporary culture. Leave time to experience Rome s purely hedonistic pleasures: shop for couture fashions from Gautier, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and more...enjoy the food, wine and sunshine...visit the dazzling gardens and plazas.
