If you have read any of my earlier blogs, you will know I am a fan of small ship cruising with Azamara and have just returned from a lovely 4 night trip with a pre cruise night in Barcelona.  We stayed in a central hotel with a fabulous roof top bar to enjoy drinks as the sunset before heading out for a modern style tapas meal.  The following day after having a little walk to the central market we headed down to the port to board the ship.  With approx. 700 guests, it's a lovely looking ship as you can see from the main image.  The cruise took us to St Tropez, Nice then Toulon before heading back to Barcelona which was a fabulous itinerary for a short cruise.  Highly recommended and if it's something that appeals to you - give me a call and I will do my best to arrange a similar fantastic experience.
