Staying overnight and with an extended evening in Nice, the pearl of the Côte d’Azur, there’s time to venture out to the charming village of Èze. Take a scenic drive along the Middle Corniche and explore the town’s steep and narrow streets, where carefully restored medieval houses are now chic boutiques or artists’ studios.

Find a local eatery and sample Provençal dishes like bouillabaisse, paired with the region’s celebrated rosé wine. UNESCO World Heritage Sites like the Vauban Fortifications near Port-Vendres and Palais des Papes in Avignon near Toulon beckon you to explore the rich history of the region. An extended evening in Portofino allows for adventures such as a sunset wine tasting at Castello Brown.
Throughout the cruie you'll enjoy included culinary experiences ashore, such as local market visits and specialty tastings as well as onboard culinary presentations, wine tastings, cooking demonstrations and cuisine tastings.
Following the cruise, join a 12 night Backroads Touring adventure from Rome to Venice.
