Those who want to stay in the hotel can purchase dinner there and rest. Day 3. Wednesday, 16 October After a late breakfast at our hotel, we will be transferred to the port to embark onboard the MSC PREZIOSA where you will be assigned your cabin. You can then check in to your room, take a shower, unpack and the head to lunch at the pool. Head to the deck for a spectacular view as we wave goodbye to Spain and sail into the night at 6pm. Dinner will be served at the same tables in our exquisite restaurant, followed by a theatre performance in the 2000-seater amphitheatre (a new show is put on every night of the cruise). Your ship is the first and last destination each day.

2 PAGE TWO MSC Prezisosa Barcelona, Spain Day 4. Thursday, 17 October Today we have a full day at sea - offering you the opportunity to sleep late, relax and enjoy all the on board activities. For some, reading a book on deck will hit the spot, for others, exploring the ship may be the order of the day as you find your sea legs onboard this huge vessel. We will have devotions and an interesting teaching on the Christian heritage of Europe around 11am on this day. After lunch, take a nap and chill! And don t forget to dress up for the Captain s Dinner tonight in your black tie finest! Day 5. Friday, 18 October Breakfast onboard with optional devotions in the morning. At 12am the ship will dock in Barcelona, Spain. Few European cities can offer you the diversity of colourful architecture and life that you will find in Barcelona. We suggest on this day that you take a short bus ride to Las Ramblas, the main street and heart of the city. Here you will experience street buskers, walking tours in the Old Gothic Quarter and exquisite architecture all around - not to mention the shopping! The ship sets sail at 8pm, so you have more than enough time to explore this vibrant city. If you still have some energy, be sure to catch dinner and a show on board. Day 6.

We will have optional devotions at 9am and disembark from the ship around 10h30am ready to explore this bustling Provencal town. The key attraction of Marseille is the city itself and we suggest an open top bus tour, or a guided walking tour of the Old City...which you can be arrange once off the ship quite easily. For those who prefer to see the countryside, we suggest an MSC excursion which will take you to the ebautiful lavender fields and various wineries of the region. The group will again enjoy dinner and a show in the evening - one of the highlights of your cruise experience. Day 7. Sunday, 20 October This morning the ship docks in Genoa, (Portofino), Italy. One of the most popular resort towns on the Italian Riviera, Portofino has just over 500 permanent residents. But that all changes when the sun is shining and the yachting set drops anchor in the harbor to wander about. Boutiques, art galleries, cafes and restaurants line the tiny streets.

For those who feel like doing something closer to home, why not try a Segway Tour of Genoa? A Segway is a motorised 2 wheel standing bike which makes gliding through terrains and sights of the city with your tour guide a unique experience that will leave you wanting more! You do not need a license and you will receive training to ride this electric bike on the day. It is easy, fun and unique - and our suggestion! Back on board at 5pm. Day 8. Monday, 21 October Full day at sea. After the last few days of walking the streets of Europe, it is time for another welcome rest day on the ship. Sleep late, play bingo, hit the gym or the sauna and be sure to catch us for devotions at 11am. Some of you may wish to visit the spa this afternoon and relax with a sauna session and soothing massage (just remember to book this all in advance on day one!). This evening we will all dress up in our finest for the Captain s Dinner, and have a group photo taken on the exquisite Swarovski staircase in the jazz lounge. Day 9.

A 3-hour coach drive from the port lies the vibrant city of Marrakesh, also called the Pearl of the South. Included in the tour itinerary you book will be some of Marrakesh s key sights. A stop will be made for you to enjoy a reviving lunch, after which the tour continues on to its final destination: Marrakesh s bustling old marketplace in the city - teeming with life, acrobats, jugglers, storytellers, and musicians.

After leaving the ship, we will leave the port and drive to the Belém district where we will admire two masterpieces built in the decorative Portuguese style known as Manueline.
