Day 1: Civitavecchia | Embark

St. Peter's, with its breathtaking Sistine Chapel, newly restored to its former glory- the Spanish Steps, where all of Rome passes by the Colosseum, where gladiators fought to the death, and the Pantheon, considered to be the perfect architectural statement of the ages.

Day 2: Portoferraio

From his villa in Portoferraio, Napoleon, the exiled Emperor of France, looked out over the waiting ships in the harbor and dreamed of returning to glory. Enjoy a local vineyard tour, and near Portoferraio, discover the remains of an ancient Etruscan civilization.

Day 3: East Corsica (Beach) | Bastia (Old Town), France

East Corsica is one of the most beautiful beaches in Corsica. The water is crystal clear, calm, and warm, but the beach's main attraction is that it is never crowded.

It's incredible in this day and age to find a Mediterranean city that looks like it stepped right out of the travel diary of a 19th-century Grand Tour. Bastia's gracious Italianate buildings were created to house the administrative offices of the capital of Haute Corse.

Day 4: Bonifacio, Corsica, France

Bonifacio's almost land-locked harbor is one of the most dramatic, protected harbors. It is a bustling port with excellent seafood restaurants and a modern marina. The ancient citadel town is perched high atop a seemingly impenetrable cliff.

Day 5: Alghero, Sardinia, Italy

Alghero is the central resort northwest of Sardinia and one of its most beautiful medieval cities. Its bustling historic center is packed with excellent bars and restaurants, making it a great place to hang out. It is also ideally placed for exploring the beaches of nearby Riviera del Corallo. Interestingly, a form of medieval Catalan is still spoken even though the Iberians left three centuries ago.

Day 6: Ajaccio, Corsica, France

Ajaccio has a justified reputation as a very stylish city. Napoleon Bonaparte was born here in 1769, and as you would expect, the town has many sites relating to him, from his childhood home to seafront statues, museums, and street names. Its immediate surroundings are a paradise for hikers, mountain bikers, trekkers, and climbers. It provides a range of outdoor activities you can enjoy yourself or with professionals.

Day 7: Calvi, Corsica, France

Napoleon once said that he could recognize his native island blindfolded because of the beautiful perfume of the maquis. Approaching by sea is the first thing you experience about Corsica. The second is its wild and mountainous landscape. Nearby are secluded beaches and the eerie Grottes des Veaux Marins, offering fantastic diving opportunities.

Day 8: St. Tropez, France

It is said that the most spectacular way to approach the exquisite harbor of St. Tropez is by sea. St. Tropez is a people-watchers paradise, so you can also want to explore her famous beaches, restaurants, and bars. The appropriately named Tahiti Plage is where topless sun tanning started, and whether you prefer to take it off or take it all in, there's always plenty to see in St. Tropez.

Day 9: Nice, France | Disembark

  • 1 Breakfast
Nice, nestled along the azure shores of the French Riviera, captivates visitors with its enchanting blend of Mediterranean charm and cosmopolitan allure. This picturesque city, known for its stunning Promenade des Anglais, boasts a dazzling coastline with pebble beaches and clear turquoise waters. Stroll through the charming Old Town (Vieux Nice) to discover a labyrinth of narrow, cobblestone streets with vibrant markets, quaint cafes, and colorful façades. Nice is also a cultural hub, with world-class museums like the Marc Chagall National Museum and the Matisse Museum, showcasing an impressive collection of art. Whether savoring delectable Provençal cuisine at a seaside bistro, enjoying the annual Carnival of Nice, or simply basking in the Mediterranean sun, Nice embodies the essence of the French Riviera's effortless elegance and allure.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
