About This Cruise
<p>During a unique journey between Malta and the Côte d’Azur, fall under the spell of the Mediterranean coastlines, where the light envelops the islands and caresses the shores. On the Sicilian coast, Syracuse whispers ancient legends, Taormina lights up under the calm gaze of Etna, and Palermo rolls out its colourful markets and baroque palaces. In the Aeolian Islands archipelago, Lipari seems to float between the sky and the sea, and majestic Stromboli watches over the horizon like a lighthouse. Portoferraio, between lush hills and coves of turquoise water, reveals all of Elba’s beauty, with the sea meeting the land in a unique landscape. Calvi, in the north of the Isle of Beauty, stands with its citadel facing the infinite, bathed by the deep blue of the Mediterranean.</p>
