## Itinerary

### Day 1: Monte Carlo, Monaco
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

The Principality of Monaco is the epitome of Riviera chic. This tiny enclave of 370 acres surrounds a sheltered harbor that draws yachts from around the world to enjoy the beautiful scenery, mild weather and elegant casino. Glamorous Monte Carlo is one of Monaco's four quarters, which also include La Condamine, the business district; Monaco-ville, the capital; and Fontvieille, an area built on reclaimed land. Ruled by Prince Albert II, Monaco has a population of over 32,000, of which about 16 pe...

### Day 2: Portofino, Italy
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

Portofino is a charming, popular resort village on the Italian Riviera, a favorite with artists and seasoned travelers. Situated on a beautiful bay, the surrounding mountains covered with dense vegetation of olive and cypress trees, form a unique setting of incomparable beauty. The ship will anchor in the bay and tenders will transport you to this tiny resort village, which is closed to vehicle traffic. Everything is concentrated around a small square offering an opportunity to stroll around on ...

### Day 3: Calvi, Corsica, France
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

Settled first by the Romans, then ruled by Genoans for nearly half a millennium, Calvi was freed by Corsica's native son Napoleon in 1791. In 1982 it was given special status and now enjoys a uniquely autonomous position within the realm of France.
Ringed with alternating precipitous cliffs and fine sand beaches, the island resembles a mountain thrust up out of the water, but its ruggedness is tempered by brilliant sunlight and groves of olive and orange trees. Napoleon once said that he could ...

### Day 4: Ajaccio, Corsica, France
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

Corsica, the "scented isle," was the birthplace of Napoleon, and as late as the last century bands of brigands controlled his mountainous and rugged homeland. The beaches of Ajaccio, ranging from narrow crescents to broad, golden expanses help to account for the city's rise as a popular resort. Such scenic attractions as the Calanches of Piana, those red granite mountains with their spectacular slopes and formations add an additional element of interest.

### Day 5: Bonifacio, Corsica, France
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

The scented isle of Corsica, birthplace of Napoleon, was controlled for centuries by Genoa and did not become a region of France until 1768. As late as the last century, the rugged island was still a haven for bands of brigands. Today, the island's inviting beaches and scenic beauty attract an increasing number of tourists hoping to escape the much more hectic pace of the Riviera. Bonifacio, perched at the top of towering white cliffs, is a striking sight from the sea. Watch for the 15th-century...

### Day 6: Olbia, Sardinia, Italy
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

The rugged Italian island of Sardinia is blessed with a rocky coastline interrupted by soft sand beaches and washed by limpid seas. Olbia is a very ancient town. It was founded by Phoenicians, and later occupied by Greeks and Romans in their turns. The church of San Simplicio dates from the 11th or 12th century, and that dedicated to St. Paul the Apostle is medieval. The townâs Museum of Archaeology can help you visualize the timeline. Everything changed dramatically in the 1960s, when the Pri...

### Day 7: Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

Originally built by Emperor Trajan who had a villa here, Civitavecchia has flourished as a major port for Rome since the 13th century. Today it is an important ferry terminal and for many travelers the gateway to the Eternal City, Rome. The Renaissance fortifications that surround the harbor area were begun by Bramante and completed by Michelangelo in 1535.

### Day 8: Amalfi, Italy
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

The Amalfi Coast has been called the greatest meeting of land and sea on earth. Situated in the Campania region between Sorrento and Salerno, Amalfi and Positano are the two main towns on the world-famous Amalfi Drive - renowned as the most scenic and romantic road in Italy. The road is carved into the side of rocky cliffs plunging into the sparkling sea. Erosion has sculpted the rocky slopes into gargoyle shapes and hollowed out fairy grottoes where the air is tinted turquoise by the glowing bl...

### Day 9: Giardini Naxos (Taormina), Italy
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

This harbor on the eastern shore of Sicily near Messina gives us close access to the fabulous Greco-Roman ruins of Taormina, as well as the active volcano Mt. Etna. The temples, streets and large amphitheater of Taormina make it one of Italyâs premier ancient sites. Its location overlooking the sea and with the backdrop of snow-capped Etna complete the package and make it among the most famous attractions in the Mediterranean region. Giardini Naxos itself boasts a lovely beach at Lido Europa, ...

### Day 10: Valletta, Malta
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

Occupied successively by the Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Arabs, French and British, Malta has been of strategic importance throughout history. A British Crown Colony until 1964, Malta received the George Cross for its valiant resistance to German occupation in WWII. The island's rich heritage is reflected in the architecture of Valletta, the current capital, and Medina, the capital until 1565. In Valletta the Knights of St. John built such masterpieces as St. John's Co-Cathedral ...

### Day 11: Solar Eclipse
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

### Day 12: At Sea

### Day 13: Sarande, Albania
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

This important port on Southern Albania curls around a superb natural harbor, dominated by the hilltop 16th century Lekuresi Castle with distinctive round towers. In the town center are the ruins of a 5th century synagogue, later a Christian basilica, with remnant mosaic floors. Another picturesque ruin is the Forty Saints Monastery from the 6th century, which is thought to have been an important pilgrimage site. But the main attraction in southern Albania is the archaeological site of Butrint, ...

### Day 14: Bari, Italy
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

Bari, with a population of over half a million, is comprised of an old town clustered on a promontory, and a modern town with wide avenues. It was, for a time, capital for Byzantium's possessions in Italy and a very prosperous port in the Middle Ages serving as a port of embarkation for the Crusader's and as a pilgrimage destination for the shrine of St. Nicholas. 

Bari is the capital of Apulia, one of the three regions that cover the foot of the Italian "boot". The region is located on the A...

### Day 15: Dubrovnik, Croatia
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

Founded in the 7th century, Dubrovnik rose to greatness as a merchant state, independent republic and cultural crossroads. The traffic-free Old Town has been called a Croatian Athens. This UNESCO designated World Heritage Site is a living museum of the ages with fortifications, chapels, monastic cloisters and Europe's second-oldest synagogue crowded into its ancient walls. Relax at a sidewalk cafÃ©, listen to the chimes of the 14th-century bell tower or join the promenade down the palace-lined a...
