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
Sorrento
Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00
Sorrento is a clifftop jewel on southern Italy's Sorrentine Peninsula, perched sixty meters above the Bay of Naples with sweeping views of Vesuvius and Capri. Visitors should not miss the gnocchi alla sorrentina at a family-run trattoria in the old quarter, nor the short excursion along the Amalfi Coast to Positano and Ravello. The ideal season stretches from late April through mid-October, when warm Mediterranean light illuminates the tufa cliffs and the famed local lemons reach their most fragrant peak.
Day 3
Day 3
Messina
Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00
Messina guards the storied strait that separates Sicily from the Italian mainland — the passage Homer mythologised as Scylla and Charybdis — and its Norman cathedral's astronomical clock, one of the world's largest mechanical clocks, puts on a captivating automated display each noon as gilded figures enact scenes of the Resurrection. The city was catastrophically rebuilt after the 1908 earthquake, but its markets and waterfront convey the fierce energy of a Sicilian port that has witnessed two and a half millennia of Mediterranean history. Messina is the perfect gateway to Taormina, a 40-minute drive into the hills above the Ionian coast, with views of Etna at their most dramatic. Spring and autumn are ideal.
Day 4
Day 4
Valletta
Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00
Valletta, Europe's smallest capital, is a fortress city of exceptional grandeur raised from bare limestone in just fifteen years after the Knights of St. John repelled the great Ottoman siege of 1565 — its rigid Renaissance grid of sun-drenched streets concealing a density of baroque palaces, gilded oratories, and subterranean World War II shelters unrivaled anywhere in the Mediterranean. The Grand Harbour, framed by golden bastions plunging into startlingly blue water, offers one of the most dramatically photogenic arrivals in the world for arriving vessels. Spring and autumn deliver the most comfortable temperatures for exploring this UNESCO-listed gem.

At Sea
Day 6
Day 6
Dubrovnik
Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00
Dubrovnik, Croatia's stunning port city, is a blend of rich history, dramatic architecture, and vibrant culture, making it a must-visit destination. Don't miss a stroll along the city walls for breathtaking views and savor local dishes like "peka" and "black risotto." The best time to visit is in late spring or early fall when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are thinner.
Day 7
Day 7
Kotor
Arrive 07:00Depart 17:00
The port of Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and rich historical tapestry. A must-do experience includes wandering the cobblestone streets of the Old Town, where culinary delights like "kacamak" and fresh seafood await. The best time to visit is during the spring or early fall, when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are fewer.
Day 8
Day 8
Corfu
Arrive 08:00
Where Homer placed the island of the Phaeacians and four centuries of Venetian rule left their most enduring Mediterranean legacy, Corfu is a singular island of extraordinary historical depth and natural beauty. The UNESCO-listed Old Town — its narrow Kantounia alleyways, the elegant Liston arcade, and twin Venetian fortresses — is the finest preserved Venetian streetscape in Greece. Beyond the town, secret coves, olive groves of immense antiquity, and mountain villages offer weeks of unhurried discovery. May through June and September offer perfect conditions: warm sea temperatures, clear skies, and the island before or after its summer crescendo.
Day 9
Day 9
Katakolon
Arrive 07:00Depart 16:00
Katakolon is the unassuming port that holds an extraordinary secret: just fourteen kilometres inland lies ancient Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games and one of the most sacred sites in the ancient world. The Archaeological Museum of Olympia — housing the breathtaking sculptures from the Temple of Zeus — ranks among Greece's finest, while walking the original stadium still sends a current of wonder through even the most seasoned traveller. The village itself charms with whitewashed tavernas and a relaxed pace that feels authentically Greek. Katakolon is best visited April through October; late spring and early autumn offer ideal temperatures for the Olympia excursion.
Day 10
Day 10
Santorini
Arrive 10:00Depart 18:00
Santorini, the ancient volcanic caldera rising from the Aegean, is Greece's most theatrical landscape — a crescentic island of sheer white cliffs plunging into an indigo sea, its clifftop villages of Fira and Oia draped in bougainvillea and culminating in the world's most photographed sunset. The island's unique Assyrtiko wine, grown on ancient ungrafted vines in volcanic pumice, is one of the Mediterranean's greatest expressions of terroir. Byzantine frescoes of extraordinary beauty fill the Prehistoric Museum of Thera. The volcanic black and red sand beaches of Perissa and Perivolos are unlike any others in Greece. April through June and September through October offer the finest conditions.
Day 11
Day 11
Piraeus
Arrive 05:00
The port that launched Athenian democracy's naval supremacy at the Battle of Salamis, Piraeus remains Greece's maritime heartbeat — and the most convenient gateway to both the Acropolis and the Aegean island chains. Dine on grilled sea bream at a Mikrolimano harbourside taverna, visit the extraordinary bronze Piraeus Apollo, and set sail for Hydra or Santorini by afternoon. Late April through June and September offer the Aegean at its most golden and uncrowded.
