This magnificent cruise begins in the middle of the channel of Sicily, at Malta, the island of the Knights Templar. It follows the Tunisian and Italian coasts, revealing unique landscapes, a crystal clear sea, ancient ruins and golden beaches, all beneath May sun.


Ports of Call

 

VALETTA - Malta

Capiatl of Malta, the name comes from its Greek name 'Melita' which means 'bee', reflecting the ochre and yellow walls of the city. The city is packed with gems : the Barracca gardens, and the ancient cities of Senglea, Cospicua and Vittoriosa, the Cathedral of St John, and the Palace of the Great Masters...

 

   

SOUSSE - Tunisia

 

Very touristy, very vibrant, the third city of Tunisia will delight you : a huge olive grove, a lively port, a medina full of history and one of the most beautiful seaside resorts inthe Mediterranean.

 

TUNIS - Tunisia

 

On the top of a hill and separated from the sea by a huge lake, the Tunisian capital has two faces : an Arab city which keeps closed within its ramparts one of the finest medinas of the world, and a modern city with typically colonial style buildings.


PALERMO, Sicily - Italy

 

The principal port and capital of Sicily, Palermo is to be found at the end of a large and magnificent bay. Behind the port, there is a huge plain circled with hills covered with fruit trees which you will find as enchanting as the colourful baroque town.

LIPARI - Italy

At the heart of the Aeolian Isles, Lipari, the capital of a volcanic archipelago - still active - will reveal spectacular sights : fig trees, azure skies, and turquoise waters where you will see flying fish, turtles and swordfish.

   
NAPLES - Italy

Monumental, picturesque, overcrowded, romantic, this city of a thousand faces has captivated poets, writers and artists. Its cultural and historic richness are unmatched, but its reputation has also been founded on its culinary and musical traditions.

THE ITALIAN COAST

Returning towards Nice, you will pass the lenght of the regions of Calabria, Campania, Lazio, and of course the unforgettable Tuscany. Your Italian calls will take you to Civitavecchia to visit Rome, and then to the little port of Portoferraio on the isle of Elba. From Livorno, we suggest you visit Pisa or Florence. You will finish this cruise with the little port of Portofino, a haven of peace offering an unmatchable view over the Gulf of Genes.
