Welcome to ancient times! Roman history comes alive in the Catalan port city of Tarragona. It all began in 218 B.C.: that was when the Romans conquered the city, gave it the name Tarraco and began to build monuments that are now part of the UNESCO World Heritage. If you walk along the old city wall and visit the amphitheatre, the triumphal arch and the forum, you will feel as if you have been transported back thousands of years into the past. A little younger, but equally worth seeing is the Cathedral de Santa Maria: its construction lasted from 1171 to 1331, which is why it combines Romanesque and Gothic style elements.
Arriving in Tarragona, you come into a busy Mediterranean harbour backed by low hills and the warm, sunlit coast of Catalonia. From the port, the historic city rises nearby, where Roman remains, old streets and sea views give the place a relaxed yet distinctly historic atmosphere.

On one side of the harbor a defiant church, on the other the old royal castle, in between a promenade on which gnarled plane trees provide shade – can so much picturesque idyll be real? In Collioure it can. The fishing village has been attracting artists since the beginning of the 20th century: Here, fauvists like Henri Matisse and André Derain revived in the golden light. Today, a theme trail along the harbor leads to the places where their works were created. Artists have again settled in the old town quarter and offer their works for sale in the flower-decorated labyrinth of alleys and stairways.
Collioure is a small Mediterranean port with a bright, relaxed atmosphere, backed by hills and the warm colours of the Roussillon coast. Arriving by sea, you can look out toward the compact old town, its waterfront, and the distinctive outline of the royal castle and church nearby.

Marseille is the oldest and second largest city in France boasting the country's most important port and is like an enormous amphitheater on the Golfe du Lion looking out to the Mediterranean. Europeans and Africans have rubbed shoulders here for over 2600 years and the cultures mix like the different fish in a Bouillabaisse. With its imposing town houses, 'La Canebière' is the central boulevard leading to the old port where a lively fish market takes place every day. Marseille is a town in flux: The notorious old district of Panier has long since been cleaned up, and in 1995, the multicultural metropolis saw work begin on Euroméditerranée, the largest urban development project in Europe. Marseille was the European Capital of Culture in 2013.
Arriving by ship, Marseille feels vast and busy, with ferry terminals, docks and industrial waterfront giving way to hills and the pale stone city beyond. Nearby, visitors can head toward the Vieux-Port and the older quarters for a livelier Mediterranean atmosphere, with fishing boats, cafés and sea views framed by rugged Provençal coastline.

Nice lies in one of the world's most lavishly endowed natural landscapes. The sea glows azure and the mountains in the background rise picturesquely up into the sky. Castle Hill gives you a fantastic view over the rambling old town – a labyrinth of alleyways with Baroque churches, pastel-colored houses and red-tiled roofs. The Promenade des Anglais, a sophisticated, five-kilometer-(3 miles)long walkway along the magnificent Baie des Anges and its long beach, lies at the heart of the elegant new town, with its splendid palaces and aristocratic hotels in the Belle-Époque and Art Deco styles.
Arriving in Nice, you are welcomed by a bright stretch of Riviera shoreline, busy harbour life, and hills rising behind the city. From the port, the old town, palm-lined seafront, and broad sweep of the Baie des Anges are all nearby, giving the place an elegant but relaxed Mediterranean feel.

Frequently asked questions about tall ship cruises and sailing ships

Choosing a tall ship cruise is more than just booking a vacation; it is an invitation to experience the timeless romance of the sea.

Taking part in such a unique voyage allows you to connect with maritime heritage while enjoying the comforts of a modern leisure cruise. Whether it’s the thrill of seeing the horizon from a wooden deck, the spectacular sight of a full press of sail, or the chance to visit hidden coastal gems inaccessible to larger ships, a tall ship voyage offers a sense of freedom that is simply unmatched. It is the perfect choice for travelers seeking authenticity, tranquility, and a truly luxury sailing experience that stays with them long after they return to shore.
