  Mediterranean vistas have inspired artists, architects,
and horticulturists from time immemorial. Cruise
the coastal arc between Italy and Portugal aboard
the yacht-like Clelia II, and experience an open-air
museum of botanical, architectural, and historical treasures.
You'll visit Roman, Moorish, and Renaissance sites, including the
museums and churches of Florence and the masterful art collections of
the French Riviera. In lively Barcelona, guides will trace the flowering
of the Gothic style and the birth of modernism in Spain, and in Seville
and Granada you'll reflect on Moorish culture, culminating in the fabled
Alhambra Palace. Along the way, renowned garden designer Lynden
Breed Miller '60 will introduce you to enchanting gardens, including the
French Provençal gardens of Sainte-Claire le Chateau, once owned by
Edith Wharton, and the regal Generalife Gardens at Alhambra.
