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

Genoa
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 15:00
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.

Portofino
Arrive 17:30 · Depart 23:55
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.

A glamorous resort town on the French Riviera, famous for its film festival and the palm-lined seafront promenade of La Croisette. The old quarter of Le Suquet climbs above the harbour, and Antibes and Grasse lie within easy reach along the coast.
