Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Nice
Depart 18:00
The port of Nice is a vibrant gateway to the French Riviera, offering a rich tapestry of history, stunning architecture, and delectable local cuisine. Must-do experiences include savoring local specialties at the bustling Cours Saleya Market and exploring the charming streets of Vieux Nice. The best time to visit is during the spring and early fall when the weather is mild and the city is alive with cultural festivities.
Day 2
Day 2
Monaco
Depart 22:00
Monaco, Monaco is a distinctive port city where deep cultural heritage meets authentic local atmosphere, featured on itineraries by Regent Seven Seas Cruises. Must-do experiences include walking the historic center to experience the layered architectural heritage, and seeking out the regional culinary traditions at a locally favored establishment away from the port area. The optimal time to visit is May through September, when mild temperatures and long days favor unhurried exploration.
Day 3
Day 3
Portofino
Arrive 08:30Depart 21:00
Portofino is a jewel-box fishing village on Italy's Ligurian coast, renowned for its pastel harbour, Castello Brown fortress views, and exquisite pesto-dressed trofie pasta at waterside trattorias. Visitors should walk the coastal trail to the Cristo degli Abissi underwater statue at San Fruttuoso and savour focaccia di Recco with a glass of local Vermentino. The ideal season stretches from late April through October, with September offering the perfect balance of warm Mediterranean light and the intimate calm that returns after summer's peak.
Day 4
Day 4
Portoferraio
Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00
Portoferraio is the historic capital of Elba, the Tuscan island famous as Napoleon's place of exile, featuring Medici fortifications, pastel waterfront facades, and over 150 beaches. Must-dos include Napoleon's Villa dei Mulini, the Monte Capanne cable car, and sampling Aleatico dessert wine. May through October offers ideal Mediterranean conditions, with June and September best for avoiding crowds.
Day 5
Day 5
Bonifacio
Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00
Bonifacio is a dramatically cliff-perched medieval citadel at Corsica's southern tip, where Genoese ramparts tower above a fjord-like natural harbour in the turquoise Strait of Bonifacio. Visitors should descend the vertiginous Escalier du Roi d'Aragon carved into the limestone cliffs and take a boat excursion to the pristine Lavezzi archipelago nature reserve for world-class snorkelling among sculpted granite formations. The ideal window is June or September, when the Mediterranean light is at its most luminous and the narrow streets of the haute ville remain blissfully uncrowded.
Day 6
Day 6
Civitavecchia
Arrive 06:00
Rome's ancient maritime gateway since the Emperor Trajan commissioned its harbour in 106 AD, Civitavecchia is the natural prologue to the Eternal City — just seventy minutes southeast by express rail. The port's Renaissance fortress, designed in part by Michelangelo, anchors a working waterfront that has welcomed travellers for millennia. Beyond Rome's unmissable monuments, consider an afternoon in the Civitavecchia thermal baths, drawing on mineral waters prized since antiquity. Spring and autumn offer the ideal balance of mild weather and manageable crowds for exploring the capital's layered history.
