Activity options vary depending on destination and operator. Activity level is determined by the range and intensity of activities you choose to participate in. Discuss with your Trip Planner which options are best for you.
The cruise begins in Civitavecchia, the main seaport near Rome. From there, transfer to the Emerald Cruises yacht to start the journey along the French and Italian rivieras.
Please book your flight to arrive into Rome prior to 01:00 PM.
Calvi, located on the island of Corsica, is sometimes claimed to be the birthplace of 15th-century explorer Christopher Columbus, though this is disputed by historians. The town features a crescent-shaped beach with white sand and maritime pines. It is also known for hosting music festivals during the summer.
Along the western coast of Tuscany, the bustling city of Livorno boasts a modern seaport, but is best known for its scenic beauty, picturesque views of the azure Mediterranean Sea and delicious fresh seafood. The city's culinary scene is not surprisingly, heavily influenced by its seaside location, tempting with signature dishes such as 'cacciucco', a traditional fish stew that is a must-try for every visitor.
Further along the Tuscan coast, you’ll arrive in Marina di Carrara. This lovely seaside village is famed for the premium, pale Italian marble that is mined and quarried from the nearby mountains and used to create some of the world’s most important artistic wonders, such as the iconic, Michelangelo’s David. These shimmering mountains of purest marble contrast beautifully with Marina di Carrara’s coastal scenery.
You set sail early in the morning for the Italian Ligurian coast and Porto Venere. This ancient town and UNESCO World Heritage Site harbors a romantic history, thanks to its penchant for attracting famous poets and artists over the centuries. The wonderful swimming spots here were beloved, amongst others, by the legendary poet, Lord Byron, who regularly swam and meditated here in the early 1800s. One of Porto Venere's most striking features is its Gothic-style Church of St. Peter, perched atop a rocky headland overlooking the sparkling sea.
Day 6: Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy | Portofino, Italy
Welcome to Santa Margherita Ligure, an Italian resort town presenting panoramic views and revered for its timeless elegance and style. For those seeking ‘La dolce vita’, you’ll find it here in abundance. Stroll the Santa Margherita promenade, or the pebbly beachfront, admiring the gleaming yachts and sailing boats. Explore a beautiful Baroque church or sample freshly caught, succulent red shrimps.
Later in the morning, you’ll sail on to Portofino. Nestled along the Italian Riviera, Portofino boasts a rich gastronomic scene, a picturesque harbor, and narrow streets lined with charming pastel-hued houses, high-end boutiques and seafood restaurants.
Officially known as the Principality of Monaco, the sovereign city-state of Monaco is renowned worldwide for its opulence and glamour, boasting high-end casinos, a yacht-lined harbor, the prestigious Grand Prix motor racing event and exclusive Monte Carlo quarter. This gem of the Côte d'Azur is also home to Monaco’s royal household, several museums and numerous cultural events hosted throughout the year, celebrating anything from music and dance to theatre and the visual arts.

1 Breakfast
Your unforgettable yacht cruise concludes in the coastal city of Nice, where you’ll be transferred to the airport for your return flight home or to continue your holiday.

Kate was great to work with in the planning stage. She was prompt, helpful, and efficient. Our tour guide, Edwin, was knowledgeable and passionate. We were very happy to have traveled with Adventure Life, it made the trip easy and a true pleasure. We could concentrate on enjoying the experience rather than the details of travel.
