Civitavecchia (Rome) – Embarkation

Embarkation from 12 am to 17 pm - Departure 8:00 pm  ·  Ship docked

There’s more to Rome than its ancient architecture. The Eternal City is home to a seemingly endless array of hidden gems. The artistic-minded can enjoy fashion aristocracy, street art, vespa jaunts to The Appian Way and toss coins into fountains. Or you can stroll by appointment to Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel and the Pope’s private quarters at the Vatican. Explore the historic ruins of The Colosseum, Caravaggio churches, the Spanish Steps and The Pantheon. Learn how to make pasta the true Italian way, hunt truffles, nibble gelato, sip coffee and sink into a 3000 year old pool for a wellness experience. An ode to homespun pasta at a Renaissance piazza. When in Rome, fusing old with new makes it simple to indulge in whatever you like.

Genoa: the Heart of the Italian Riviera

Arrival 8:00 am  ·  Departure 3:00 pm  ·  Ship docked

The fascinating city of Genoa awaits you with its famous pesto, fragrant basil, freshly baked focaccia and soft Genoese sponge cake, as you explore the city where Christopher Columbus spent his youth. Walk the cobbled lanes in the shade of the Baroque palaces of the historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and lose yourself in the maze of carruggi, the narrow alleys filled with the scent of pastry shops and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee.

Emerge into the majestic Piazza De Ferrari and admire its extraordinary architecture. Immerse yourself in the city’s history and discover the treasures of the museums and galleries now housed in the spectacular residences of the bankers and merchants who made “La Superba” one of the great maritime powers of the Mediterranean. Before returning on board, enjoy a stroll along the seafront promenade of Corso Italia.

Portofino, the Pearl of the Riviera di Levante

Arrival 5:30 pm  ·  Departure 11:55 pm  ·  Tender port

Nestled in a cove of the idyllic Riviera di Levante, among gentle hills covered with olive groves, Portofino is a meeting place for the international jet set and a summer retreat for European nobility. Beyond the luxury boutiques and the famous piazzetta on the bay, a row of brightly colored houses lines the waterfront, while the sculpture gardens of the Museo del Parco climb toward the Church of San Giorgio. With its distinctive yellow façade, the church holds the relics of the saint who slew the dragon.

From here, an enchanting panorama opens over grand villas and the lighthouse. About an hour away lie the picture-postcard villages of the Cinque Terre: clusters of colorful houses perched boldly on the rocky headlands of the Ligurian Sea.

Daily Itinerary May 27th, Thursday

Starry Nights in Cannes

Arrival 9:00 am  ·  Departure 10:00 pm  ·  Ship docked

Palm trees, fragrant pine woods and a sea dotted with yachts frame Cannes, the pearl of the French Riviera. Yet this destination is much more than a charming postcard: here, la vie takes on the colors of the elegant marina, the most exclusive boutiques and the casinos frequented by stars of cinema, fashion and the international jet set.

Wander the winding lanes of Le Suquet, the medieval quarter, then shop for designer labels among the palms of La Croisette. Don’t miss the prestigious Michelin-starred restaurants and elegant beach clubs with splendid sea views. If you are looking for peace and quiet, take the ferry to the Île Saint-Honorat, a green island paradise home to a centuries-old monastery. Cannes is the hub of high society and the true celebrity of the French coast.

Daily Itinerary May 28th, Friday

A Rendezvous in Saint-Tropez

Arrival 9:00 am  ·  Departure 7:00 pm  ·  Tender port

Then escape the crowds and unwind against a backdrop of spectacular views and lush hills while tasting the best of the local cuisine. Once you have savored the glamour and atmosphere of the Côte d’Azur, the journey continues toward quieter shores.
