Dates                   15 May (Embark 16h00) – 20 May (Disembark 10h00)

Our voyage begins in Civitavecchia, the gateway to Rome, one of the most iconic cities in the world. Spend time exploring the Eternal City, with its stunning landmarks like the Colosseum, the Vatican, and the Pantheon, before setting sail south towards the Mediterranean gem of Porto-Vecchio in Corsica.

Aboard the Santa Maria Manuela, take part in the thrill of sailing. Help the crew hoist the sails, try your hand at the wheel, or simply relax as the ship glides across the Tyrrhenian Sea. Engage in knot-tying lessons or climb the mast (weather permitting) for an unforgettable view. End your days with a sunset drink on deck, soaking in the peacefulness of the open sea. Porto-Vecchio, known as the “City of Salt,” offers a delightful blend of history, charm, and natural beauty. Take a stroll through its cobbled streets, enjoy the local cuisine, or marvel at the stunning coastal views.

Too soon, we continue our journey south to Naples, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its rich history, art, and gastronomy. Indulge in authentic Neapolitan pizza and explore this vibrant city’s treasures, from its historic center to its bustling streets.

ABOUT PORTOFERRAIO

Portoferraio is the capital and main port of Elba Island, part of the Tuscan Archipelago.  It is a town that combines history, culture, nature, and adventure.  Whether you’re interested in exploring ancient fortresses,  visiting Napoleon’s house or enjoying idyllic beaches, Portoferraio has something for everyone.

The beaches of Portoferraio are the main attraction of a stay here, with clear turquoise waters that wouldn’t look out of place in the Caribbean.

Portoferraio is home to three imposing fortifications that dominate the skyline. They were built by Cosimo I de’ Medici, the powerful Grand Duke of Tuscany, to protect the town from pirate attacks.

ABOUT CIVITAVECCHIA

The Fort of Michelangelo guards the entrance to Civitavecchia.

This imposing 15th Century structure boasts 6 meter thick walls and a moat which historically kept invaders out, but today it serves as a major attraction which brings armies of tourists in.

Just a few steps away is National Museum with artifacts dating back to the Middle Ages, and at the centre of this ancient town is the Piazza Aurelio Saffi with the multicoloured San Lorenco market nearby.
