Embark on a remarkable 5-day Mediterranean journey aboard the Santa Maria Manuela, starting in the vibrant city of Barcelona, continuing to the picturesque island town of Calvi in
Corsica, and ending in Genoa, Italy’s maritime gem.
Our adventure begins in Barcelona, where Gothic and modernist influences blend seamlessly. Wander through the narrow streets of the Gothic Quarter, marvel at Gaudí’s architectural
wonders like the Sagrada Família and Park Güell, or relax at Barceloneta Beach while savoring tapas and fresh seafood.
Once aboard the Santa Maria Manuela, experience the thrill of life at sea. Join the crew in hoisting sails, steering the ship, or simply unwinding on deck as we chart a course toward Calvi, Corsica.
During the voyage, participate in hands-on sailing activities, take knot-tying lessons, or enjoy the spectacular views from the bowsprit or mast. Share stories with fellow travelers over a drink as the sun sets over the Mediterranean horizon.
In Calvi, immerse yourself in Corsica’s rich history and natural beauty. Visit the impressive citadel overlooking the town, wander through cobblestone streets, or relax at pristine beaches. Sample Corsican delicacies like charcuterie and local wines while soaking in the island’s unique charm.
We then set sail for Genoa, which awaits with its winding alleys, stunning palaces, and delicious Italian cuisine. Be sure to explore the UNESCO-listed Old Town and enjoy fresh pesto, a specialty of this Ligurian region.

WEATHER

In late spring, Barcelona, Calvi, and Genoa offer pleasant temperatures averaging between 18–22°C (64–72°F). Pack light layers for cooler evenings and mornings, and bring comfortable clothing for exploring and sailing.

ABOUT BARCELONA

Barcelona, Spain’s dynamic capital of Catalonia, is a city where Gothic history meets modernist flair. Begin your journey at the awe-inspiring Sagrada Família, Antoni Gaudí’s iconic basilica that captivates with its intricate spires and ethereal light. Wander through the narrow streets of the Gothic Quarter to uncover hidden squares, centuries-old buildings, and the grand Barcelona Cathedral.

For a taste of the city’s creative energy, visit the bustling La Boqueria Market, where vibrant stalls overflow with fresh seafood, jamón, and artisanal treats. Escape the city buzz in Park Güell, another of Gaudí’s masterpieces, where whimsical mosaics and lush gardens offer panoramic views of Barcelona’s skyline. And, of course, no trip is complete without a relaxing afternoon at Barceloneta Beach, savoring seafood paella with the Mediterranean breeze in the air.
