Wake up in your private stateroom and enjoy
the view of a seaside city steeped in history,
architectural gems and ancient archaeological
treasures. After having breakfast on your ship,
start your day by exploring the charming
Gothic Quarter. Stroll through its winding
cobblestone streets and narrow alleys, which
were constructed over a Roman settlement.
This area is rich in historic architecture, so be
sure to visit the city's archives at Casa de
l'Ardiaca or the Romanesque Church of Santa
Maria del Pi.
Experience the brilliance of Antoni Gaudí's
architectural evolution on a Privileged Access
tour, only available to Viking guests. Begin at
Casa Vicens, his first major project, now a
UNESCO World Heritage Site. Enjoy a guided
tour and a delightful snack from the Hoffman
Culinary School. Next, marvel at the iconic La
Sagrada Família, followed by a visit to Casa
Batlló on Passeig de Gràcia. Enjoy free time and
continue to explore Güell Park, a UNESCO
World Heritage Site covering almost 50 acres,
and stop for lunch.
