Cruise overview

Set off to discover the legendary shores of Italy, along the Adriatic, Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas, via Sicily and with a break at the Croatian island pearl of Hvar. At sea, spectacular landscapes unfold between the deep blue sea, lush hills, secret coves and cliffside villages. Each port of call reveals a facet of this mythical land, at the crossroads of multiple influences: ancient sites bearing witness to a glorious past, treasures of Baroque and Renaissance architecture, sunny squares inviting you to partake in la dolce vita, local flavours… A unique journey featuring a harmonious blend of thousand-year history, living traditions and Mediterranean panoramas of rare beauty.

Itinerary

Day 1

Civitavecchia


Italy’s vibrant capital lives in the present, but no other city on earth evokes its past so powerfully. For over 2,500 years, emperors, popes, artists, and common citizens have left their mark here. Archaeological remains from ancient Rome, art-stuffed churches, and the treasures of Vatican City vie for your attention, but Rome is also a wonderful place to practice the Italian-perfected il dolce far niente, the sweet art of idleness. Your most memorable experiences may include sitting at a caffè in the Campo de’ Fiori or strolling in a beguiling piazza.
