Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Civitavecchia
Depart 17:00
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.
Day 2
Day 2
Amalfi
Arrive 07:00Depart 17:00
Amalfi is the former maritime republic that gave its name to Italy's most celebrated coastline, where the Arab-Norman cathedral, medieval paper mills, and whitewashed buildings cascading to the Tyrrhenian Sea create the definitive image of Italian coastal beauty. Visit April through June via Windstar or Azamara for the Cloister of Paradise and the coastline that has been the world's standard for scenic perfection.
Day 3
Day 3
Palermo
Arrive 07:00Depart 16:00
Palermo is the Mediterranean's most intoxicating crossroads of civilisations — Arab arches meet Byzantine gold mosaics beneath Norman royal chapels in the extraordinary Palatine Chapel, a monument to 12th-century multicultural brilliance that is Sicily's single greatest work of art. The Ballarò and Capo street markets, among southern Italy's most atmospheric, tumble through the ancient city in a sensory barrage of swordfish, blood oranges, jasmine, and street food improvised across centuries. Do not leave without tasting arancini and sfincione, Sicily's gloriously thick street pizza. Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) offer the ideal climate — warm enough for the sea, cool enough for extended walking.
Day 4
Day 4
Olbia
Arrive 10:00Depart 19:00
Olbia, Sardinia's northeastern gateway, offers three millennia of history from Carthaginian trading post to today's vibrant Italian city, too often bypassed in the rush to the Costa Smeralda. Sardinia's ceremonial suckling pig, DOCG Vermentino wines, and Bronze Age Nuragic ruins reward those who explore beyond the beach. AIDA, MSC Cruises, and Oceania Cruises dock at this convenient port where a walkable historic center and world-class coastline meet fiercely independent Sardinian culture.
Day 5
Day 5
Bastia
Arrive 07:00Depart 17:00
Bastia is Corsica's most authentically Genoese port city, where a crumbling Vieux Port, the island's largest Baroque church, and a citadel museum create the Mediterranean character that tourism brochures often overlook in favor of flashier resorts. Visit September via Seabourn or Silversea for Cap Corse's medieval watchtowers, Muscat grape harvest, and the genuine Corsican atmosphere that only centuries of Franco-Italian cultural layering can produce.
Day 6
Day 6
Piombino
Arrive 07:00Depart 17:00
Piombino on Tuscany's coast is the gateway to Elba and the Tuscan Archipelago, perched on a promontory where Etruscan, Roman, and Renaissance history converge — from the Populonia necropolis to Leonardo da Vinci's fortifications. Must-dos include Baratti beach and archaeological park, cacciucco fish stew at the Porto Vecchio, and wine tasting in the rising Val di Cornia DOC vineyards. April through October delivers ideal Mediterranean weather for combining culture, cuisine, and coastline.
Day 7
Day 7
Livorno
Arrive 07:00Depart 19:00
Purpose-built as a Medici utopia in the late sixteenth century, Livorno was conceived from the outset as a city without discrimination — its founding Leggi Livornine granted equal rights to Jews, Christians, Muslims, and merchants of every nation, making it one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Renaissance Europe. Today, the Venetian-style canals of the Venezia Nuova quarter reflect colourful palazzi with a distinctly faded glamour, while the Mercato Centrale's fish counters display the cacciucco ingredients — a robust Livornese brodetto of five sea creatures — that make this port city a pilgrimage for serious eaters. Day trips to Pisa and Lucca are effortless from here. The season runs April through October.
Day 8
Day 8
Villefranche-sur-Mer
Arrive 07:00Depart 17:00
Villefranche-sur-Mer is a thirteenth-century duty-free port town on the French Riviera, where medieval stone passages and ochre-walled lanes cascade toward one of the Mediterranean's most spectacular natural harbours. Visitors should not miss Jean Cocteau's painted Chapelle Saint-Pierre and the covered Rue Obscure, followed by socca and Bellet rosé at the waterfront. The town is at its luminous best from late April through early October, when the bay glows cobalt and the evening light lingers long enough for an unhurried dinner along the Plage des Marinières.
Day 9
Day 9
Saint Tropez
Arrive 07:00Depart 17:00
Saint-Tropez is the legendary Côte d'Azur fishing port turned global glamour destination, where Provençal authenticity endures beneath the mythology of yachts and celebrities. Must-dos include browsing the Musée de l'Annonciade's Fauvist masterpieces, tasting tarte tropézienne and fresh-caught rouget, and strolling the Sentier du Littoral coastal path to hidden coves. May through June and September through October offer the best weather with fewer crowds.
Day 10
Day 10
Toulon
Arrive 08:30Depart 16:00
Toulon is the French Navy's Mediterranean home port, where the daily Cours Lafayette market, Mont Faron cable-car panoramas, and proximity to the Hyères Islands' pristine beaches deliver the French Riviera without the glamour-tax of Cannes or Saint-Tropez. Visit April through October via Cunard or Oceania for authentic Provençal markets, the 'other D-Day' memorial, and the Riviera that the French actually use.
Day 11
Day 11
Barcelona
Arrive 08:00
Barcelona is the city where Roman history, Gothic grandeur, and Gaudí's delirious Modernisme collide in a Mediterranean coastal capital of astonishing energy and beauty. The Sagrada Família — still under construction after 140 years — continues its audacious ascent toward completion, while the Gothic Quarter's Roman-era foundations and the Passeig de Gràcia's extraordinary concentration of Modernisme masterpieces reward days of exploration. For a complete sensory experience, lose an afternoon in the covered labyrinth of La Boqueria market before descending to the waterfront for Catalan seafood at its finest. May through June and September through October offer the most pleasant weather; the city connects directly to Paris by overnight train.
