Where this voyage takes you
Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
Genoa
Depart 17:00
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.

Marseille
Arrive 07:00 · Depart 15:00
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.

Valencia
Arrive 10:00 · Depart 19:00
Spain's third city, on the Mediterranean coast where the old riverbed has become a long ribbon of parkland. It is the birthplace of paella, home to the silk-era Lonja trading hall and to Calatrava's white City of Arts and Sciences complex.

Arrive 07:00 · Depart 16:00
The capital of Madeira, a Portuguese island in the Atlantic, built up an amphitheatre of green hills above its harbour. A cable car rises to Monte, where wicker toboggans slide back down, and the island is known for its fortified wine and mountain levada walks.
