Where this voyage takes you
Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
Civitavecchia
The deep-water port serving Rome, roughly 80 kilometres up the coast. Ships dock here for shore excursions to the Colosseum, the Vatican and the Roman Forum, while the town itself keeps a working harbour and a Michelangelo-designed fortress.
- Gateway to Rome
- Fort Michelangelo
- Vatican excursions
- Day2
Ponza Island
- Day3
Salerno
An Italian port at the head of its own gulf, just south of the Amalfi Coast. Its long seafront and walkable medieval centre make it a quieter base for reaching Pompeii, Paestum's Greek temples and the cliffside towns of Amalfi and Positano.
- Amalfi Coast gateway
- Paestum temples
- Seafront promenade
- Day4
Siracuse, Sicily
A historic city on the southeast coast of Sicily, once among the greatest powers of the ancient Greek world. The island of Ortigia holds its baroque core and a temple-turned-cathedral, beside a vast archaeological park with a Greek theatre.
