This glamorous cruise takes in some of the Mediterranean`s most iconic ports, plus a few lesser-known jewels and one high-octane event. Departing from the Eternal City, you`ll leave Rome in your wake as you sail, via a sea day, to perhaps the world`s most glamorous destination, Monte-Carlo, where you`ll enjoy the smell of rubber and the squeal of tires, as you`ll be in Monte-Carlo during the world-famous Grand Prix. Sail next to pretty Villefranche sur Mer for an overnight, only 20 mins up the coast but light years from the bustle of Monaco. Onward amid blue seas and skies to Corsica before turning back to Italy by way of Porto Torres. End your trip in Marseille.

Europe Tourist Taxes: Many cities throughout Europe are now charging a Tourist Tax/Levy, sometimes known as a ‘city tax’ or ‘occupancy tax’, which is a fee charged to visitors staying in tourist or local accommodations or to cruise tourists in select ports, including river ports. The purpose of these taxes is intended to help finance-tourism related expenses such as infrastructure improvements, environmental protection, and cultural heritage preservation. The amount of tax can vary significantly by city or port, by accommodation type and sometimes length of stay. These taxes are usually paid directly to the accommodation provider and/or added to guest accounts (hotel, cruise or otherwise).

7 Night Cruise sailing from Rome to Marseille aboard Crystal Symphony.
This glamorous cruise takes in some of the Mediterranean’s most iconic ports, plus a few lesser-known jewels and one high-octane event. Departing from the Eternal City, you’ll leave Rome in your wake as you sail, via a sea day, to perhaps the world’s most glamorous destination, Monte-Carlo, where you'll enjoy the smell of rubber and the squeal of tires, as you'll be in Monte-Carlo during the world-famous Grand Prix. Sail next to pretty Villefranche sur Mer for an overnight, only 20 mins up the coast but light years from the bustle of Monaco. Onward amid blue seas and skies to Corsica before turning back to Itlay by way of Porto Torres. End your trip in Marseille.
Highlights of this cruise:
Rome
Discover the charming port town of Civitavecchia, the gateway to Rome and the treasures of the Eternal City. Venture through Civitavecchia, noted for its fine seafood and beautiful monuments. Then, travel to Rome, with more than 2,500 years of history and ancient landmarks that will leave you with memories for a lifetime.
Monte Carlo
An ancient principality steeped in rich and colorful history, Monaco was bought from the Genoese in 1309 by the Grimaldis, who still rule as the world`s oldest monarchy - presided over today by Prince Albert.
Marseille
Marseille is France`s oldest city and one of the Mediterranean`s premier ports. Amid the big-city bustle, the old port is a quaint landscape of historic charm: colorful fishing boats sail past the imposing Fort Saint-Jean, narrow streets wander among ancient churches and cobbled squares, while the venerable Basilica overlooks the scene from the hilltop above.
It begins the moment you embark. An immersion into luxurious wonder. An extraordinary sense of well-being. The Crystal Symphony is one of the most spacious and luxurious cruise ships at sea. Onboard amenities feature grand lounges, a full-service fitness facility, exciting casino, a lavish spa, expansive decks, a swimming pool with an extra-large Jacuzzi, award-winning cuisine and entertainment. To top it off, exquisitely-appointed staterooms, more than half of which offer private verandahs. Considered to be the finest shipboard staff afloat, it is their goal to anticipate your every need and to make this a vacation to remember.
