After departing the port, drive along the Paseo Maritimo with hotels on one side and luxurious yachts on the other. You’ll pass the cathedral and the Almudaina Palace, along the way to the center of Palma through Avenida Argentina and Avenida Jaime III with its exclusive shops, and Via Roma, known as Flower Street. On the way to Valldemossa, see impressive landscapes of pine forest and groves of almond and olive trees. Valldemossa is one of the most beautiful villages of the island with a magnificent view over the valley and the capital of Palma on the horizon. A stop for a soft drink will be made in Valldemossa. Returning to Palma, you’ll drive up to the Bellver Castle, and have a beautiful view overlooking the Paseo Maritimo and the town. Then, traveling through the city, you’ll reach the Plaza de Toros (bull fighting ring) where you’ll have free time to take some photos or to go into one of the famous pearl factories where the famous Majorca Pearls are manufactured. Here you can see how expert artisans create the man-made pearls and you’ll have an opportunity to purchase some to take home. Note: Bellver Castle is not visited on this tour. less

Travel along the Campanian coastal route to Sorrento. As you make your way towards the Sorrentine Peninsula, enjoy the panoramic scenery of the Bay of Naples. Once in Sorrento, you’ll have approximately 1 1/2 hours on your own to explore, shop and eat in Sorrento's charming flowered-filled streets that offer a wide array of boutiques, souvenir shops, and outdoor cafes. (Please note that lunch is not included in this tour.) You’ll then take a local shuttle bus and drive to a local beach. Your escort will designate a meeting time and place and then you’ll be on your own for approximately 3 hours at the beach. You can use the changing rooms and will have the opportunity to relax on the beach, taste the cuisine of the local restaurant or have a cappuccino on the panoramic terrace. A complimentary sun-bed and beach umbrella will be provided for you. After a relaxing summer day on the Italian coastline, you’ll re-board the coach for the return drive to your ship in Naples. Note: The amount of walking is at guests' discretion. This tour does not include lunch or entrance fees. An escort will be on the coach to/from Naples to answer questions. Items such as hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, swimwear, proper foot protection and a towel should be brought with you from your ship. If guests should miss the return bus, transportation back to the vessel is your own responsibility and expense. Time in Sorrento and at the beach may be altered due to traffic. The transfer from Sorrento Town to the beach takes approximately 6-7 minutes each way and is operated by local shuttles buses so many guests will be standing. This is the only transportation authorized through the short, narrow street that connects the town and the beach. For this reason, depending on crowds and traffic involved, some waiting at the shuttle bus pick-up points may be expected. This tour is only available from mid-June to mid-September except for Norwegian Spirit August 3rd and August 15th 2013 sailings, and Norwegian Epic August 11th 2013 sailing. less
