Cruise overview

Set off a cruise discovering ancient Mediterranean cities. From the Peloponnese to Sicily, each port of call will reveal grandiose heritage: Epidaurus and Mycenae, ancient jewels, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites; Monemvasia, a fortified city rising from the waves; Heraklion, guardian of Minoan mysteries; or Gythio, seaport of Ancient Sparta. They will all immerse you in the myths of the Mediterranean Sea. Corfu will then unveil its Venetian influences, the premise for your Italian ports of call. Between palaces and the fragrance of citrus fruits, discover Puglia and Gallipoli, meaning “beautiful city” in Greek, and Syracuse, with its labyrinth of small streets punctuated with churches and ancient vestiges, celebrating the soul of Sicily.
