Where this voyage takes you
Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
Nice
Depart 18:00
The capital of the French Riviera, curving along the pebbled Baie des Anges. The seafront Promenade des Anglais runs past the ochre lanes of the old town, and Monaco, Èze and the rest of the Côte d'Azur lie a short drive along the coast.

Genoa
Arrive 8:00 · Depart 20:00
Italy's great maritime city, stacked up the Ligurian hills above one of the Mediterranean's busiest harbours. Its old town is a maze of tall, narrow caruggi, and it claims pesto and focaccia as local inventions; the Aquarium and Renaissance palaces of Via Garibaldi sit close to the port.

A small fishing village on the Italian Riviera, its pastel houses curved around a sheltered harbour on a wooded promontory in Liguria. Long a retreat for yachts and writers, it has a tiny piazzetta, hillside church and coastal paths toward Genoa.
