European Emperor

This morning: free time en Français. From the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay to the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs Elysées, you'll be sure to make a solid dent in your bucket list. Later on, it’s up to you: stretch those legs on an optional bike tour of Paris or simply roam the streets on your own. End your day with an optional Seine River cruise or a #throwback cabaret show.

Today we roll on to Bordeaux, where half the city is UNESCO World Heritage-listed and vineyards reign supreme. Before we get there, you can opt in to take a stroll around the Château de Chambord (the largest château in the Loire Valley) and learn why French Renaissance architecture is famous around the world.

Ready to learn the A to Z of wine? Good. We’ve got a date with a winery to get to before we move on to Carcassonne – a historic city that’s famous for its restored medieval fortress.

We’ll roll through the Pyrenees today – with a quick stop in Andorra. Then: say hey to Barcelona! Bienvenidos to the city of art nouveau, alluring accents and (most importantly) tapas. We’ll tick off the likes of the Sagrada Família, the Columbus Monument and Las Ramblas on an included driving tour before we set you free into the city.

What do you want to do today? Well, you could hit the side streets and alleyways of Las Ramblas, visit the Gracia neighborhood, go Gaudí at Parc Güell or give in to your inner football fanatic and kneel to the sporting gods at the Nou Camp. Barcelona’s got plenty to keep you occupied! Tonight: shall we dance? An optional flamenco show awaits...

Today we'll set off along the coast to rub shoulders with the rich and famous at the world's most lavish waterfront property: the French Riviera. But that's not all! En route, we'll make a sweet-smelling stop at a perfumery. Ooh la la!

This morning, you do you! Laze on the beach, or go wild in the designer boutiques in Nice's Old Town. Later: roll with the jet set on a guided tour and see how the 1% live (hint: it involves Ferraris and bathing in caviar). Feeling lucky? Hit the tables at the Monte Carlo Casino and make it rain (or not).

Next stop: the otherworldly Swiss Alps! The oh-so-quaint village of Engelberg is where we'll be spending the night. Upon arrival, we’ll get stuck into an included dinner before heading to the bar for a nightcap. Cheers!

Rise and shine – you’ve got some serious exploring to do! Take the option to hop on the revolving gondola to the top of Mt Titlis (and test your pano photo skills), then head back down in search of the world's best hot chocolate. #hardlife

Onwards to fair Verona, the place where Romeo and Juliet found love. Why not snap a selfie at Juliet’s balcony and join throngs of lovers leaving notes on the wall? If that’s not your thing, you could always avoid the crowds and head for the ancient arena instead. Then: say ciao to Venice. Yep, you’re really here!

You know it as The Floating City, but this place is actually sinking (slowly). Today we’ll check out a who's who of Venice's usual suspects on a guided walking tour (ticking off the likes of St Mark's Square and Accademia Bridge) before rounding things off with a traditional gondola ride. Need suggestions for this afternoon? Insider tip: spend some time seeking out the epic Libreria Acqua Alta bookshop (or just go on a mission to find the perfect gelato).

Take THAT shot at the Leaning Tower of Pisa before we truck on to the Tuscan hills. Hello, Florence! Ready to eat, sleep, repeat in the foodie capital of the world?

Time to give that bucket list a workout – we’re off to Rome! Did someone say walking tour? We’ll pass by the Pantheon, throw our two cents in the Trevi Fountain, sit on the Spanish Steps and check out the mighty Colosseum before the day is done. Tonight, you're in Disneyland for foodies. Have fun!

Create the ultimate Roman Holiday in one day with a whirlwind of Vespas, espresso, two-cheek kisses and pizza the way it's supposed to taste. Count your blessings on an optional tour of Vatican City, then play ‘I-spy’ with two-and-a-half millennia worth of history. Want more? You could always shop till you drop on Via Condotti, head to Capitoline Hill for awesome views of the Roman Forum and Colosseum or just kick back in Piazza Navona for some dolce far niente (delicious idleness).

Oh, man. Time to go! After one last breakfast, we’re outta here.
