Where this voyage takes you
Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
Naples
Depart 20:00
A southern Italian port on its namesake bay, in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius. Ships dock near the historic centre, the gateway to Pompeii, the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast and the island of Capri, in a city that claims to have invented pizza.

- Day2
Messina
Arrive 09:00 · Depart 18:00
A Sicilian port on the strait that separates the island from mainland Italy, framed by the Peloritani mountains. Its harbour clock tower performs an elaborate noon display, and the town is a common gateway to Taormina and the slopes of Mount Etna.

Genoa
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 16:00
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.
