CIRCLE OF INTEREST: Photography

Adventures Ashore:

Each cruise will include two small-group excursions with our Circle of Interest host, depending on your cruise's itinerary.

Portofino

(Sept 16, Oct 7 sailings)

Tucked into a classic Italian Riviera bay, this picture-perfect town exudes charm, style and a myriad of photo opportunities, from natural beauty to the naturally-beautiful complete in designer resort wear.

St. Tropez

(Oct 7 sailing)

 A Bridget Bardot sighting might be rare but the quaint streets and ambiance of this French haute resort will bring out the best in any fledgling photographer.

Santorini

(Sept 23, Sept 30 and Oct 14 sailings)

Born of a tumultuous natural disaster, the small town of Thera clings perilously to the side of the caldera providing stark and dramatic scenery and an opportunity for outstanding landscape photography.

Taormina

(Sept 16, Sept 23, Sept 30, Oct 14 sailings)

This excursion offers three spectacular photo opportunities - a Greco Roman theater in the most spectacular setting; charming, medieval Taormina overlooking the Ionian Sea; or smoking Mount Etna, whose looming presence hangs over all like a beautiful but dangerous stranger.

Kusadasi

(Oct 21 sailing)

Wander the streets of the once-prosperous and then mysteriously-abandoned city where St. Paul once spoke. Behind every pillar there is a photo waiting to be taken, from the chariot ruts and ruined shops to ancient graffiti.

Navplion

(Oct 21 sailing)

Meander the old town of Navplion where the narrow streets are filled with elegant Venetian houses and gracious neoclassical mansions. We will also visit Epidaurus Theater, an architectural marvel.

Barcelona

(Nov 4 sailing)

Architectural photography is the specialty here in the city that Gaudi build.

Malaga

(Nov 4 sailing)

Travel from here to Ronda, arguably one of the most photographed cities in the world with its Spanish architecture.
