Begin your cruise in romantic Venice, home of the canals and gondolas. Consisting of more than 100 small islands connected by arched bridges and is one of the world’s most beautiful cities.
After departing Venice, you'll cruise the Adriatic calling on Koper and Kotor before arriving in picturesque Corfu. With its millions of olive trees, scent of lemon blossoms and sapphire bay, Corfu is one of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean and is said to cast a spell upon those who land upon its shores.
Next it's on to Italy. Mountainous and rugged, Sicily’s highest point is the tip of that infamous and still active Mt. Etna, and as a result Catania is richly layered, having been buried under lava seven times in recorded history.
Amalfi, wedged into the mouth of a ravine, is encircled by sheer cliffs, facing blue waters and where terraced hillsides support lemon groves (and of course limoncello). Be sure that your camera has plenty of memory.
We have a further stop in Sorrento, the playground of the rich and famous, before arriving in Rome. Whether it’s tossing a coin in a fabled fountain or being awestruck by the magnificence of St. Peter’s Basilica and Michelangelo’s masterpieces, Rome seems to live up to its sobriquet, the Eternal City.
Rome is where your first cruise ends and your second cruise begins on the same day, then it's on to famous Florence and Pisa, with her elegant squares, imposing palaces, magnificent churches, incredible art galleries and museums with an abundance of riches.
A further stop in Bastia, Corsica and we're heading towards the French coastline to Villefranche before making our way to Spain.
Barcelona, Malaga and Gibraltar are all on the itinerary before finishing up in Lisbon, Portugal. At the end of your cruise, there are two nights included in Lisbon for you to explore.
