McLEAN, VA - At the age of 26 a new Italian artist in Florence named Michelangelo won a contract to sculpt for the Cathedral of Florence a colossal marble statue of 'David' ~ the Biblical character who slew Goliath. Florentines wanted this statue in their Catholic church because David symbolized their success in fighting off the Medici family dynasty. The dominating commercial and banking Medici family, which owned much of Italy and all of Florence, constantly tried to turn Florence into a democracy only form of government. But the Italians wanted to keep Florence a Republic. David symbolized their success in defending their civil liberties against the relentless, wealthy elitists who strove to rob them of their God given human rights. David embodied their success when in 1494 the Florentines successfully passed a new Constitution in Italy declaring forever the democratic Republic of Florence. Michelangelo began carving 'David' in 1501 and finished in 1504. Michelangelo was 30 when he presented his statue to the citizens of Florence. Both their names from that day forward would be known forever. This cruise will dock overnight in Florence with no ship curfew.

 Dine in Cannes like American movie stars.
Cannes in France is a town of 74,000 people who live and work on a splendid beach front along the French Riviera. It too became world famous like Florence, but for different reasons. Cannes brought amazing glitz and glamour into France when it started the Cannes Film Festival in 1939. Cannes knowingly, willingly and intentionally sought to compete against Hollywood to attract wealth and cinema art forms over to this otherwise picturesque, undeveloped, quiet part of France. It has been amazingly successful with that idea. On this cruise you can dine in restaurants and shop in shops where Hollywood's most famous movie stars like to go. Life is short. Why not?
