The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Step inside the gilded heart of the Belle Époque, where European royalty and screen legends have staked fortunes. The Casino de Monte-Carlo is the definitive Monte Carlo icon — opulent, theatrical, and utterly bucket-list.
Ascend the Rock of Monaco to the Grimaldi family's fortress-palace, inhabited for seven centuries. Tour the gilded State Apartments, gaze across the harbour, and witness the daily Changing of the Guard — a living piece of royal pageantry.
Prince Albert I built this cliff-edge citadel of marine science in 1910, and Jacques Cousteau once directed it. Spectacular aquariums, a shark lagoon, and a rooftop terrace commanding the entire Riviera make this a world-class, bucket-list institution.
Perched 430 metres above the Med on a near-vertical crag, Èze is the most dramatically beautiful medieval village on the entire Côte d'Azur. Combine cobblestone lanes, a cacti garden with panoramic views, and an artisan perfume creation at the legendary Fragonard distillery.
One of the world's finest private automobile collections, amassed by Prince Rainier III — over 100 vehicles from an 1896 De Dion-Bouton to Grace Kelly's personal Rolls-Royce. For any automotive enthusiast, this is a pilgrimage site unlike any other.
See Monaco as billionaires see it — from the water. A private half-day motor yacht charter reveals the principality's extraordinary cliff-hugging skyline, the Grand Prix circuit from the harbour, and the hidden sea caves and beaches of Cap Martin and Cap Ferrat.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
