30th Anniversary

A Journey through Sparkling Bays & Riviera Radiance

GardenSMART is turning 30. That’s a long time in the life of a TV show. Come celebrate with us on an unforgettable cruise through the beautiful ports and gardens of the Western Mediterranean.

Travel with Eric Johnson, nationally known garden expert and host of the PBS show, GardenSMART, for a weeklong voyage along the coasts of Spain, France, and Italy. Join us as we tour historic gardens, film new episodes, and explore the unique food, flowers, wine, and architecture in some of Europe’s most beautiful ports of call.  RSVP by September 30, and one of our concierge travel advisors will reach out to you to answer your questions and assist you in planning your trip. 

A Celebration at Sea

Maybe the best hotel isn’t a hotel. Maybe the most exclusive address is longitude and latitude.

Sail from Barcelona’s artistic buzz to the tranquil charm of Mahón in Menorca. In Alghero, uncover Sardinia’s Catalan-infused character. Reflect, relax and rejuvenate in elegance onboard, enjoying ocean-inspired wellness as we drift into the breathtaking landscapes and sophistication of Saint-Tropez and stroll the star-studded shores and winding streets of Cannes. Explore La Spezia’s gateway to Cinque Terre’s cliffside magic before concluding our journey in the eternal inspiration of Rome.

All journeys include access to sophisticated, varied experiences across 18 food and beverage venues, including six restaurants, five lounges and in-suite dining, unlimited beverages, fine wines, premium spirits, a welcome bottle of champagne, complimentary Wi-Fi, on-board gratuities and more.
