Day 1 - Genoa

Arrive: Fri 24 July 2026 / Depart: Fri 24 July 2026 at 16:00

Day 2 - Marseille, France

Arrive: Sat 25 July 2026 at 09:00 / Depart: Sat 25 July 2026 at 23:00

Lounging under a Provençal sun, Marseille is the oldest city in France yet seemingly grows younger each day. A multi-cultural melting pot with top-notch museums, galleries, smart squares and hip port-side bars, where you can tuck into a bowl of bouillabaisse, its famous fish stew. Meander past fountains built under the reign of Napoleon III and city hall erected during Louis XIV. Fall in love with the Calanques cliffs for a bit of French coastline drama, or wind through cypress trees and lavender fields to Avignon and Aix-en-Provence, famously once home to Van Gogh, Cézanne, and author Peter Mayle. Chase light, ripening Syrah grapes and drink in the nuances of terroir. From Marseille’s boisterous roots to its French coastline drama and nearby classic Provence, wander at will and fall in love with it all.

Day 3 - St. Tropez, France

Arrive: Sun 26 July 2026 at 09:00 / Depart: Sun 26 July 2026 at 21:00

Saunter into the sultry, sophisticated stretch of the French Riviera. Bardot and blonde beer shine bright in this playground of international glitterati. Bask in the Mediterranean sun, mingle with movie stars, admire the super yachts and enjoy champagne in effortlessly chic cocktail bars. Then slide away from the jet set to take in breathtaking landscapes and verdant hillsides, all the while feasting on the very best fresh local produce. After all the decadence and glamour that the Cote d'Azur delivers, we continue our journey to somewhere a little calmer.

Day 4 - Nice (Villefranche)

Arrive: Mon 27 July 2026 at 09:00 / Depart: Mon 27 July 2026 at 19:00

Day 5 - Florence/Pisa

Arrive: Tue 28 July 2026 at 09:00 / Depart: Tue 28 July 2026 at 20:00

Day 6 - Rome

Arrive: Wed 29 July 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Wed 29 July 2026

Your gateway to the Eternal City, Civitavecchia has served as Rome's seaport since the 13th century. The port has a long and venerable history. The emperor Trajan built a pleasure villa near the modern city, while Bernini and Michelangelo designed the harbor fortifications. Yet the Eternal City eternally beckons. The ancient capital of the Western World and the center of Christianity for nearly 2,000 years, Rome provides an inexhaustible feast. Visit the ruins of the Forum, view the splendors of the Sistine Chapel, or climb the Spanish Steps, once the heart of Rome's Bohemian Quarter. Rome has been a magnet luring the world's greatest artists, architects, and philosophers since the days of the Caesars.
