Day 1 - Barcelona

Arrive: Wed 23 September 2026 / Depart: Wed 23 September 2026 at 18:00

Madrid’s Catalan rival, Barcelona, is fiercely proud of its cultural identity forged from a melting pot of artistic talent. Enriched by its past when the paths of great masters like Picasso, Dali and celebrated architect Gaudi crossed, the city’s cosmopolitan character ensures its status as an unsurpassed centre of culture. Explore the ruins of the Gothic District or simply stroll along the famous Ramblas.

Day 2 - Sete, France

Arrive: Thu 24 September 2026 / Depart: Thu 24 September 2026

Day 3 - Marseille, France

Arrive: Fri 25 September 2026 / Depart: Fri 25 September 2026

Marseille, a port city in southern France, has been a crossroads of immigration and trade since its founding by the Greeks circa 600 B.C. At its heart is the Vieux-Port (Old Port), where fishmongers sell their catch along the boat-lined quay.

Day 4 - Nice (Villefranche)

Arrive: Sat 26 September 2026 / Depart: Sat 26 September 2026

Day 5 - Santa Margherita

Arrive: Sun 27 September 2026 / Depart: Sun 27 September 2026

Santa Margherita Ligure is a comune in the Metropolitan City of Genoa in the Italian region Liguria, located about 35 kilometres southeast of Genoa, in the area traditionally known as Tigullio. It has a port, used for both tourism and fishing activities.

Day 6 - Portovenere

Arrive: Mon 28 September 2026 / Depart: Mon 28 September 2026

Day 7 - Florence/Pisa

Arrive: Tue 29 September 2026 / Depart: Tue 29 September 2026

An important commercial port on the Italian Coast for wood, marble and alabaster, Livorno was founded by the Medicis. From here we will venture out to discover the delights of tuscany and its great cities of art. Explore the aristocratic charm of secretive Pisa and its famous leaning tower, or the elegance of Florence, Dante’s homeland where the Renaissance was born.

Day 8 - Bonifacio

Arrive: Wed 30 September 2026 / Depart: Wed 30 September 2026

Perched precariously on a high rocky promontory, Bonifacio (Corsica - France) occupies a very special place in the Corsican andscape, particularly when viewed from the sea. A fortress city atop white limestone and granite cliffs that have been sculpted by wind and waves, Bonifacio’s historic medieval heart of tall, narrow houses and winding cobblestone streets is protected by an impressive citadel wall embellished with square towers : a beautiful sight.

Day 9 - Rome

Arrive: Thu 01 October 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Thu 01 October 2026

Your gateway to the Eternal City, Civitavecchia has served as Rome's seaport since the 13th century. The port has a long and venerable history. The emperor Trajan built a pleasure villa near the modern city, while Bernini and Michelangelo designed the harbor fortifications. Yet the Eternal City eternally beckons. The ancient capital of the Western World and the center of Christianity for nearly 2,000 years, Rome provides an inexhaustible feast. Visit the ruins of the Forum, view the splendors of the Sistine Chapel, or climb the Spanish Steps, once the heart of Rome's Bohemian Quarter. Rome has been a magnet luring the world's greatest artists, architects, and philosophers since the days of the Caesars.
