Day 1 - Nice (Villefranche)

Arrive: Fri 07 May 2027 / Depart: Fri 07 May 2027 at 18:00

Nice, capital of the Alpes-Maritimes department on the French Riviera, sits on the pebbly shores of the Baie des Anges. Founded by the Greeks and later a retreat for 19th-century European elite, the city has also long attracted artists. Former resident Henri Matisse is honored with a career-spanning collection of paintings at Musée Matisse. Musée Marc Chagall features some of its namesake's major religious works.

Day 2 - Monaco

Arrive: Sat 08 May 2027 / Depart: Sat 08 May 2027

The prestige and fame of this tiny yet fascinating state extend way beyond its borders, and the location is enchanting. A little way along the coast is the lovely mansion and gardens of the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, home to a unique collection of furniture, paintings and rare porcelain pieces.

Day 3 - Portofino

Arrive: Sun 09 May 2027 / Depart: Sun 09 May 2027

A rugged rocky promontory, the Portofino Peninsula is the loveliest spot on the Ligurian Riviera. At its feet lies the pretty port of Portofino (Italy), which has become a seaside destination for the Italian jet-set. A rugged stairway leads to a path into the heart of the luxuriant vegetation above.

Day 4 - Portoferraio,Elba

Arrive: Mon 10 May 2027 / Depart: Mon 10 May 2027

The island of Elba is at the heart of the Tuscan Archipelago and presents a finely chiselled profile sheltering many pristine coves. Roman churches, Medicean fortresses and memories of Napoleon blend into the picture postcard that is Portoferraio (Italy). The town is one of the oldest on the island, the Ligurians, Etruscans and Greeks having shaped its history before it became a Roman colony. Here you can follow in the footsteps of Napoleon as you wind your way through the pastel-coloured houses protected by their two Medicean forts.

Day 5 - Bonifacio

Arrive: Tue 11 May 2027 / Depart: Tue 11 May 2027

Perched precariously on a high rocky promontory, Bonifacio (Corsica - France) occupies a very special place in the Corsican andscape, particularly when viewed from the sea. A fortress city atop white limestone and granite cliffs that have been sculpted by wind and waves, Bonifacio’s historic medieval heart of tall, narrow houses and winding cobblestone streets is protected by an impressive citadel wall embellished with square towers : a beautiful sight.

Day 6 - Rome

Arrive: Wed 12 May 2027 at 08:00 / Depart: Wed 12 May 2027

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.
