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
Gaeta
- 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
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.
- Taormina
- Mount Etna
- Isola Bella
- Day5
Valletta
Malta's fortified harbour capital, built by the Knights of St. John on a peninsula between two deep ports. Honey-coloured limestone defines St. John's Co-Cathedral, the Grand Master's Palace and the bastions overlooking the Grand Harbour.
- Grand Harbour
- St. John's Co-Cathedral
- Upper Barrakka Gardens
- Day6
Trapani, Sicily
A historic salt and fishing port on the western tip of Sicily, its old town curving out on a low peninsula. Salt pans and windmills line the coast toward Marsala, and ferries run to the Egadi Islands and the hilltop town of Erice above the bay.

- Port Hercule
- Grand Prix circuit
- Day11
Nice
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.
