Cruise overview

Sail from Greek temples and along the scenic Amalfi coastline and explore the uncrowded islands of Corsica and Sardinia during this enchanting 14-day Mediterranean cruise. Learn how Monemvasia’s founders hid an entire Medieval city from mainland raiders and sip delicious wines that made this region famous. Delve into the little-known details about living a Spartan existence in Sparta and Byzantine Medieval life in Mystras–a UNESCO World Heritage Site near Gythion. Wander Taormina’s cobbled lanes and take in views of Mount Etna and nearby Naxo Bay over generous pours local of Sicilian Nero d’Avola wine. Linger late at an outdoor restaurant over sweet Limoncello and tiramisu indulgences during a Sorrento overnight stay. Overnight in Alghero, Sardinia, is a charming coastal city known for its Catalan heritage, medieval architecture, and stunning beaches along the Mediterranean Sea. Follow weathered Roman forum flagstones and the shadowy corridors of Rome’s Colosseum. Venture inland from Bastia to the terraced vineyards of Oletta and Patrimonio for authentic Corsican hospitality, tart sheep cheeses, and hearty regional wines.
