Itinerary Details

Day 0: Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona, the vibrant capital of Catalonia, is steeped in history and culture. Founded by the Phoenicians, it once competed with Venice and Genoa for Mediterranean trade supremacy. Today, as Spain’s second-largest city, Barcelona rivals Madrid in both industry and commerce. The city's charm lies in its medieval Gothic Quarter, elegant boulevards, and rich artistic heritage, having nurtured talents like Gaudí, Miró, and Picasso. Hosting the 1992 Olympics spurred a transformation that placed Barcelona firmly on the global stage.

Day 1: Mahon, Menorca, Spain
Mahon, the capital of Menorca, stands out with its abundance of prehistoric structures and a unique cultural history influenced by British rule in the 18th century. Founded by Carthaginian General Mago and occupied by various powers including the Moors, English, French, and Spanish, Mahon was ceded to Spain in 1802 by the Treaty of Amiens. The city’s rich history is reflected in its ancient architecture and diverse cultural influences.

Day 2: Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Palma de Mallorca, the bustling capital of Spain’s largest Balearic Island, combines historical significance with modern charm. Established over 2,100 years ago, Palma features remnants of ancient Roman and Carthaginian structures. The island’s diverse offerings include vibrant city life, tranquil landscapes, and abundant sunshine, making it a prime destination for both excitement and relaxation.

Day 3: At Sea

Day 4: Sete, France
Sete, a picturesque port town nestled between the Mediterranean Sea and the Bassin de Thau salt lake, is characterised by its charming canals and historic architecture. The town’s 18th and 19th-century buildings line the quays, while its lively squares, such as Place Leon Blum and Place Aristide, host local markets and events. Sete retains its traditional role as a fishing port and offers a rich blend of historical and maritime heritage.

Day 5: Toulon, France
Toulon, a prominent Mediterranean port and the French Mediterranean Fleet’s base, is located in the Provence region. The city’s Old Town features narrow streets and quaint squares, while the Upper Town showcases 19th-century grandeur. Visitors can explore local museums, enjoy a cable car ride to Mont Faron, or relax in the family-friendly Le Mourillon beach area.

Day 6: Monte Carlo, Monaco
Monte Carlo, the glamorous quarter of Monaco, epitomises Riviera elegance. Surrounded by a sheltered harbour, it attracts yachts from around the world and is known for its stunning casino. Monaco, ruled by Prince Albert II, is a small yet opulent enclave with a population of over 32,000, blending luxury with a picturesque setting.

Day 7: Portofino, Italy
Portofino, accessible from Santa Margherita Ligure via a scenic clifftop trail, is renowned for its colourful villas perched on steep, flower-filled slopes. This charming Italian harbour town offers breathtaking views and a quintessentially picturesque setting.

Day 8: Calvi, Corsica, France
Calvi, a historic town on Corsica’s rugged coastline, was first settled by the Romans and later ruled by Genoans before being liberated by Napoleon in 1791. Today, Calvi combines dramatic cliffs and sandy beaches with a unique autonomous status within France. The island’s natural beauty and winding roads make it a memorable destination.

Day 9: Olbia, Sardinia, Italy
Olbia, an ancient town founded by the Phoenicians and later occupied by Greeks and Romans, offers a rich historical tapestry. The town’s medieval churches and archaeological museum provide insights into its past. In contrast, the nearby Costa Smeralda, developped in the 1960s by Prince Karim Aga Khan, is now a luxurious resort area known for its stunning coastline and high-end real estate.

Day 10: Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy
Civitavecchia, a key port for Rome since the 13th century, has a rich history that dates back to Emperor Trajan’s villa. Today, it serves as a crucial ferry terminal and gateway to Rome. The Renaissance fortifications surrounding the harbour, initiated by Bramante and completed by Michelangelo, highlight its historical significance.
