Cruise overview

Set off a musical cruise discovering ancient Mediterranean cities during the 12th Piano Festival at Sea, in partnership with RADIO CLASSIQUE and with the exceptional presence of Alain Duault. From the Peloponnese to Sicily, each port of call will reveal fascinating heritage: Epidaurus and Mycenae, ancient treasures, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites; Monemvasia rising from the waves; Heraklion and its Minoan mysteries; or Gythio, seaport of Ancient Sparta. Each evening on the water, one of the six guest pianists will play a unique recital for you. Puglia, Gallipoli and Syracuse will enhance this trip featuring legends, the scent of citrus and enchanted melodies, which will conclude with a concert bringing together all the artists.
