Sailing out of Civitavecchia (Rome)

Getting here is an easy hour transfer from Rome City or my preferred method is a train which is quick and more cost effective method. There are a few restaurants and cafes around to enjoy before or after any cruise all within 5 to 10 minutes of the harbours.

Cannes, France

• Wander hilly Le Suquet for Riviera panoramas and painter‑worthy pastel lanes.

• Sip a café allongé on Boulevard de la Croisette, where yachts and movie‑set glamour sparkle side‑by‑side, or simply enjoy the beach and amazing beach clubs.

Barcelona, Spain

• Marvel at Gaudí’s Sagrada Familia, a stone forest lit by rainbow glass.

• Graze through La Boqueria Market—cones of jamón and bite‑size tapas on the go.

Palma de Mallorca, Spain

• Gaze up at gothic La Seu Cathedral, mirrored in the marina’s calm waters.

• Relax on Cala Major beach, turquoise waves lapping powder‑soft sand.

Ajaccio, Corsica

• Ride the Route des Sanguinaires to crimson headlands and crashing surf.

• Taste smoky Corsican charcuterie with a chilled rosé on the harbor quay.

La Spezia & Cinque Terre, Italy

• Climb Vernazza’s Doria tower for a cliff‑top mosaic of pastel villages.

• Twirl fresh trofie al pesto in Monterosso—basil picked the same morning.
