The ship first stopped in Bermuda and the Azores. It then passed through the Strait of Gibraltar and entered the Western Mediterranean. Both outlets say it reached that region in the second half of October.
Next, the ship is set to visit Spain, Italy and France.
The trip is a round trip from Florida. The itinerary takes in 24 ports across 10 countries and territories. The ship returns to Port Everglades in late November, according to Cruise Industry News.
