Where this voyage takes you
Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
Marseille
Depart 18:00
France's oldest city and biggest Mediterranean port, set around the old harbour of the Vieux-Port. The hilltop basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde watches over the bay, with the Calanques inlets and bouillabaisse stalls a short way off.

- Day2
Genoa
Arrive 09:00 · Depart 19:00
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.

- Day3
Villefranche-sur-Mer
Arrive 09:00 · Depart 19:00
A deep-water bay on the French Riviera between Nice and Monaco, framed by steep pastel hillsides. The sheltered harbour is a classic tender anchorage, with a baroque old town behind the waterfront and easy connections along the coast to Nice and Monte Carlo.
