Day 1 - Corfu

Arrive: Fri 07 June 2024 / Depart: Fri 07 June 2024 at 23:00

Awash with colourful flowers, Corfu is big on beauty. It’s known as the Emerald Isle, and its golden beaches, lush green landscape and colourful villages will have you constantly reaching for your camera.......

Day 2 - Taranto

Arrive: Sat 08 June 2024 at 11:00 / Depart: Sat 08 June 2024 at 16:00

Taranto is surrounded by a natural harbour so this city and seafood go hand in hand – it’s particularly well-known for oysters and mussels. The historical old town spreads over an island, while the new town is all about sleek and stylish palm-lined avenues. Taranto has an interesting history – it dates back to the year 706 BC when it was founded as a Greek-Spartan colony. The Museo Nazionale Archeologico holds hundreds of artefacts from their reign, including terracotta figures, glassware and jewellery.

Day 3 - Sicily

Arrive: Sun 09 June 2024 at 09:00 / Depart: Sun 09 June 2024 at 17:00

Messina's pretty streets tumble down an emerald green hillside towards the translucent waters of the Mediterranean.

Day 4 - Malta

Arrive: Mon 10 June 2024 at 09:00 / Depart: Mon 10 June 2024 at 18:00

As the ship cruises into Valletta, a breathtaking landscape of soaring steeples and church domes will rise up to greet you. Surrounded by tiny villages and a countryside brimming with flowers, Valletta is Malta's quintessential capital. Wander the steep, narrow streets laden with sublime churches, or enjoy a freshly-ground coffee at one of the many pavement cafes, whilst admiring the colourful fishing boats as they sway gently in the alluring harbour. Nearby Mdina, the old capital of Malta, is an impressive walled city finely decorated with Medieval and Baroque architecture. Known as ‘the silent city' because cars are forbidden, horse-drawn carriages trotting through the streets and the gentle chatter of Mdina's inhabitants will be the only sounds to punctuate the peaceful atmosphere.

Day 5 - At Sea

Day 6 - Bar, Montenegro

Arrive: Wed 12 June 2024 at 08:00 / Depart: Wed 12 June 2024 at 17:00

The Adriatic Sea and a blue-hued mountain range sandwich southerly Bar. The town itself is dominated by a working waterfront. Just up the road lies picturesque Stari Bar. Once the original Bari, it’s still filled with the time-worn leftovers of everyone from the Byzantines to the Turks. Head over the mountains and you’ll find the mammoth Lake Skadar.

Day 7 - Brindisi

Arrive: Thu 13 June 2024 at 08:00 / Depart: Thu 13 June 2024 at 17:00

Flanked by aquamarine waters, olive groves and vineyards, Brindisi is certainly easy on the eye. The city itself is a picturesque mishmash of whitewashed houses and Roman churches that tumble down the hillside. Stroll its narrow streets, and you’ll pass pizzerias, coffee shops and ice-cream trattorias.

Day 8 - Corfu

Arrive: Fri 14 June 2024 at 07:30 / Depart: Fri 14 June 2024

Awash with colourful flowers, Corfu is big on beauty. It’s known as the Emerald Isle, and its golden beaches, lush green landscape and colourful villages will have you constantly reaching for your camera.......
