Featured Mediterranean cruise: Yachtsman's Riviera

On April 24, 2005, the Seabourn Legend sails from Barcelona, Spain, on a 7-night "Yachtsman's Riviera" cruise of the French coastline. At 8 am the next morning you'll arrive in Palamos, Spain. Below the dramatic rugged headlands you'll find beaches rimmed by pine woodlands. Palamos is the southernmost of a series of tiny harbors along Catalunya's northern coast. It sits on a high rock over the harbor. The next day brings you to Port Vendres in the Roussillon, one of France's most beautiful regions along the Mediterranean coast. Visit the 13th-century castle, old town and beach, inspiration to artists like Picasso.

Day 4 is Marseille, with the picturesque old harbor, the Vieux Port, founded by the Greeks 2,600 years ago. Then on to Sanary-Sur-Mer ... a pretty town along the Provencal coast with a charming seafront ambience and interesting streets to wander. Day 6's port is Porquerolles Island in the Provence region of France. Three superb beaches offer gently sloping sand and exceptionally clear water. Admire the majestic landscape from the lighthouse with a 360 view of the island and the sea.

Day 7 brings you to St. Tropez. No introduction is needed for the best known and most fashionable resort on the Riviera. Immerse yourself in the splendid scenery of the Cote d'Azur with an excursion to the hilltop villages of Gassin and Il Ramatuelle. The embodiment of French Riviera chic. Your dream cruise ends at Monte Carlo, Monaco, on the morning of day 8. The world's most famous casino, nightlife, first-class dining and shopping, make it one of the world's most glamorous destinations.

Onboard the Legend you'll enjoy the Seabourn Cruise luxuries on a relatively small "yacht" size ship. No crowds here to ruin your vacation.
