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.

- Vatican excursions
- Day2
Sorrento
A clifftop town on Italy's Bay of Naples, perched above the sea facing Vesuvius. Sorrento is known for its lemon groves and limoncello, a tangle of narrow shopping lanes, and its role as a base for Capri, Pompeii, and the Amalfi Coast.

Giardini Naxos
A seaside resort on the east coast of Sicily, set along a sandy bay below the hilltop town of Taormina. Snow-capped Mount Etna rises inland, and the ancient Greek theatre and stepped streets of Taormina are a short ride up from the shore.
