Corsica is known as the 'Isle of Beauty' and it's easy to see why. The scenery is varied and simply breathtaking, from verdant forest to rugged mountains and golden sands. There are also quaint hilltop villages, and picturesque towns home to historic treasures.
Join La Belle des Oceans in Nice for an unforgettable voyage to this idyllic Mediterranean island. Cruise to Ajaccio, past the Scandola Nature Reserve and the Gulf of Girolata. Ajaccio is the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte and has a rich and historical past. There is also the chance to visit the Calanques de Piana and Porto, a jewel of Corsica.
Cruise on to Bonifacio where stone homes perch on the cliffs high above the waves, and perhaps join an optional excursion to the nature reserve of the Archipelago of Lavezzi. Explore Porto Vecchio, an old town which is home to the ruins of a 16th-century citadel and a picturesque marina, and relax on the beautiful beaches. From Bastia there is the chance to visit Cap Corse, a 25-mile long promontory with several attractive fishing villages, stunning coastline and sandy beaches, whilst L'Ile Rousse is the gateway to Calvi.
