Day 1: Naples, Italy | Embark

Embarkation at 3:00 pm. Enjoy a welcome drink and meet your crew and fellow passengers. Overnight at sea.

Day 2: Capri, Italy

  • Ship
  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
This morning, after a sumptuous breakfast on board, drop anchor at Capri. Located in the Tyrrhenian Sea directly south of Naples, Capri has been a popular resort destination since the time of the Romans. With its impressive scenery, clear skies, and perfect climate, it has earned its reputation as the "jewel" of the Bay of Naples. Here starts the optional half-day Capri excursion; you will take the island’s iconic funicular from Marina Grande to the village of Capri and then set off on a guided walk to the Gardens of Augustus, which offer sweeping views of the sea and the stacked rock formations off the coast. You will also visit the iconic, bustling Piazzetta, which, being the center of Capri, is the focal point of life on the island. You will have some free time to explore the area before returning via the funicular to the port. Lunch is served on board the ship; the rest of the afternoon is yours to relax before dinner. Overnight at sea to Amalfi.

Day 3: Amalfi, Italy

  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
After breakfast on board, you will spend the morning on the breathtaking Amalfi Coast, with its cliff-top villas, azure coastline, and luxury boutiques. Optional half-day excursion to the Amalfi Coast. A mini-coach is waiting to whisk you to Positano, a near-vertical hamlet awash in color the deep green of Monti Lattari, the cheerful whites, pinks, and yellows of the Mediterranean hotels and estates that cling to steep slopes, and, of course, the sparkling blue of the water. In 1953, when American writer John Steinbeck fell in love with this town, it was a mere fishing village with an eclectic side. It soon became a retreat for the European elite. The mini-coach will drive you to the centre of the town to browse boutiques selling the town’s famous export: cotton clothing, before you return to the ship for lunch. In the late evening, take in the view as you cruise past Stromboli, an active volcano off the northern coast of Sicily. Overnight at sea to the Aeolian Islands.

Day 4: Stromboli | Lipari, Italy

  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
After breakfast, the ship docks in Lipari, the largest of the Aeolian Islands, famed not only for its mythology but also for its stunning natural scenery. The optional half-day Lipari tour departs from the pier, where you will travel by coach to Quattrocchi to admire panoramic views of the Aeolian archipelago before continuing to Quattropani, with its church and dazzling views of the Island of Salina. Then, you will arrive at a castle built by the Spanish on the site of an ancient necropolis to explore the fortress’ cathedral and museum, which houses a collection of artifacts dating back to prehistoric and ancient Greek and Roman times. After the visit, enjoy some free time in the village before returning to the ship for lunch. The remainder of the afternoon is at your leisure. Overnight at sea.

Day 5: Giardini Naxos, Taormina

  • Ship
  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
After breakfast, the ship heads to Taormina and the charming seaside village of Giardini Naxos. The area, having been settled even before the Greeks founded Naxos in 743 BC, is a popular destination for sun, sand, and sea. On the optional Taormina tour, you will discover the village’s narrow alleyways, along with the fifteenth-century Palazzo Corvaja and the impressive Greek amphitheatre, which boasts extraordinary acoustics, before you take a stroll along the Corso Umberto, a pedestrian street that crosses Taormina’s centre. Flanked on both sides by upscale boutiques selling clothes, jewelry, and souvenirs, you will understand why Taormina is called the "Sicilian Saint Tropez." In the afternoon, enjoy the view as the ship cruises towards Catania. Overnight at sea.

Day 6: Catania, Italy

  • Ship
  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
Following breakfast, you will set off in a private coach on a full-day excursion to Mount Etna, Italy’s largest active volcano, and Catania. Pass through Nicolosi, a small Sicilian village that has existed in the shadow of the volcano for centuries. A new road offers scenic views as it winds up the mountain’s slopes. Constructed after an eruption in 1983, it passes through vineyards, woods, and valleys of black lava. At approximately 2000 meters above sea level, the Rifugio Sapienza is the highest point of the mountain accessible by vehicle. You will take a short walk to the Crateri Silvestri, two sizable craters formed during a significant eruption in 1892, to admire 360-degree views of the Gulf of Catania. Lunch is served in a local restaurant overlooking the lava stream. Afterwards, continue to Catania. This city has long been dominated by Mount Etna’s presence. You will join the guide for a stroll through the city center, including the Cathedral of Saint Agatha, the picturesque Piazza del Duomo, and the Fontana dell’Elefante, which features a Roman-era elephant statue carved from Mount Etna’s basalt. The walk continues along Via Crociferi, which is lined by imposing churches emblematic of Catania’s Baroque architectural style. Next, stop at Piazza Stesicoro, one of the main squares in Catania, to admire the monument to Vincenzo Bellini, the famed Romantic composer who was born here. The walk will continue back to the port. If you wish, you can continue exploring the town on your own. This afternoon, the ship sails towards Syracuse. Overnight at sea.

Day 7: Syracuse, Italy

  • Ship
  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
After breakfast on the ship, you can take a half-day tour to Syracuse, with its rich Greek and Roman history. The tour begins with a short drive to the Neapolis Archaeological Park, an open-air museum of Sicilian ruins. The spectacular Teatro Greco ("Greek Theatre") is among the most impressive amphitheaters to
survive from antiquity. You will also visit the enigmatic Latomia del Paradiso, a limestone quarry that supplied stone for this ancient city. The Orecchio di Dionisio ("Ear of Dionysus") is a 23-meter-high man-made cave known for its near-perfect acoustics, and the altar of Hieron II served as a site for animal sacrifice. After exploring the park, drive to Ortygia, an island that is home to the remains of some of the city’s earliest constructions. Here, you will discover the Temple of Apollo, the Fountain of Arethusa, and a Baroque cathedral built over the remains of the famed Temple of Athena. After the tour, you return to the ship or enjoy some free time in the town. The rest of the afternoon is at your leisure. Departure late afternoon to Malta. Overnight at sea to Malta.

The trip might have been the absolute best of our lifetime (thus far). We particularly want to commend our guide Peter in the Guilin area-he was so incredibly attentive, energetic, enthusiastic-and absolutely dedicated to ensuring that our meals were 100% vegetarian.
