Day 1 - Nice (Villefranche)

Arrive: Thu 06 August 2026 / Depart: Thu 06 August 2026 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 - Calvi

Arrive: Fri 07 August 2026 / Depart: Fri 07 August 2026

Nestled on a rocky spur in the north-west of Corsica, the port of Calvi offers its whiteness between two sapphire-coloured bays. Capital of the Balagne region, the Genoese city benefits from an exceptional natural setting between the abrupt relief of the central chain, fertile hills and long sandy beaches. From the promontory of the Notre-Dame-de-la-Serra chapel, built in the 19th century on the ruins of a 15th century sanctuary, you will not miss the sublime panorama of the seaside, the mountains and the Calvi citadel. A little further west, you will have the opportunity to discover with the peninsula of Revelatta, a wilder and more preserved part of Corsica.

Day 3 - Bonifacio

Arrive: Sat 08 August 2026 / Depart: Sat 08 August 2026

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 4 - Marseille

Arrive: Sun 09 August 2026 / Depart: Sun 09 August 2026

Marseille, a port city in southern France, has been a crossroads of immigration and trade since its founding by the Greeks circa 600 B.C. At its heart is the Vieux-Port (Old Port), where fishmongers sell their catch along the boat-lined quay.

Day 5 - Port Vendres, Frankreich

Arrive: Mon 10 August 2026 / Depart: Mon 10 August 2026

Day 6 - Barcelona

Arrive: Tue 11 August 2026 / Depart: Tue 11 August 2026

Madrid’s Catalan rival, Barcelona, is fiercely proud of its cultural identity forged from a melting pot of artistic talent. Enriched by its past when the paths of great masters like Picasso, Dali and celebrated architect Gaudi crossed, the city’s cosmopolitan character ensures its status as an unsurpassed centre of culture. Explore the ruins of the Gothic District or simply stroll along the famous Ramblas.

Day 7 - Majorca

Arrive: Wed 12 August 2026 / Depart: Wed 12 August 2026

Day 8 - At Sea

Day 9 - Nice (Villefranche)

Arrive: Fri 14 August 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Fri 14 August 2026

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.
