The journey begins in Marseille, gateway to the sun-drenched charm of Provence, before continuing along the Italian Riviera to the colourful harbour town of Santa Margherita. From there, the ship calls at Civitavecchia, the gateway to Rome, followed by Naples, where travellers can venture out to the ruins of Pompeii or the clifftop beauty of Capri, and Palermo in Sicily, rich with Mediterranean and North African influences.
After a relaxing day at sea, the voyage heads into the Greek islands and Turkish coast, calling at Heraklion in Crete, Kusadasi (gateway to the ancient city of Ephesus), and the iconic whitewashed cliffs of Mykonos, before arriving in Athens via the port of Piraeus. Along the way, guests can explore world-famous ruins, wander cobblestone old towns, sample fresh Mediterranean cuisine, and soak in the dramatic coastal scenery that defines this stretch of the sea — making this itinerary a rich blend of history, culture, and island charm from start to finish.
