Where this voyage takes you
Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
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.

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.

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.

Lipari
The largest of the Aeolian Islands off northern Sicily, ringed by white pumice quarries and obsidian cliffs. The harbour town climbs to a clifftop citadel and cathedral, with boats running to the smoking cone of neighbouring Stromboli.
