Dine at authentic local restaurants, sample wine at spectacular vineyards, shop in local specialty shops and colourful delicatessens and consolidate your newly-awakened palette with cooking demonstrations at sea during your luxury Mediterranean cruise.

Highlights include the small town of Taormina in Sicily, spectacularly located on a 200-metre high rocky outcrop overlooking Mt Etna, the ancient marble streets of Ephesus in Turkey, the white-washed splendour of Santorini and the picturesque world-heritage listed medieval city of Siena, famous for the Palio horse race run around its magnificent Piazza.

Priced from $8,835 per person twin share, this fully-escorted 20-day round trip departs on September 7, 2015 and includes return international economy air travel to Rome, 10-night cruise aboard Celebrity Reflection, 3 nights in Rome, 4 nights in Tuscany and sightseeing tours of Rome, Taormina, Ephesus, Santorini, Rhodes, Athens, the Amalfi Coast and Tuscany.
