Islands of the Mediterranean Itinerary

Day 1 - Barcelona

Fly from the UK and arrive in Barcelona, transfer to your ship. This evening, get to know your Cruise Director and fellow travellers at a Welcome Reception.

Day 2 - Palma de Mallorca

Today, you’ll reach the shores of Mallorca, where the island’s capital of Palma is set against a spectacular white-sand bay. The morning is at your leisure to explore. Perhaps head out on an optional tour of the city’s historic quarter with a guide. Stroll through a medieval maze of streets and delve into the district’s Moorish heritage. This afternoon, enjoy an Insider Experience. Later, join your fellow travellers for a Gala Welcome Dinner.

Day 3 - Mahón, Menorca

Journey to the island of Menorca, known for its sweeping countryside, historic towns and superb beaches. The morning is yours to discover the capital, Mahon, at leisure. Mahon, locally known as Mao, features one of the largest natural harbours in the world and in 1708, the British and Dutch joined forces and captured the island. Perhaps join an optional guided tour, including a visit to a local gin distillery to learn about the gin-making process. In the 18th century, the distillation of gin began in Mahon to satiate the thirst of British sailors. Mahon gin is recognised as being one of the first gins made in the Mediterranean.

Day 4 - Bonifacio, Corsica

Relish a relaxing morning on board. Later, arrive in the stunning natural harbour of Bonifacio, located on the fashionable French island of Corsica. The busy marina boasts a collection of private yachts, an array of chic restaurants and bars along the waterfront. With the afternoon at leisure, you may wish to visit the fascinating Old Town, where quaint narrow streets are lined with impressive historical buildings. Marvel at the charming medieval houses perched on the edge of the limestone cliffs.

Day 5 - Alghero

Today, dock in Alghero, located on the attractive Coral Coast of Sardinia. With the day at leisure, perhaps join an optional guided visit to the Coral Museum. Located inside an elegant art nouveau villa, the Coral Museum pays tribute to the red coral found along the coast of Alghero. In addition to the exhibit, explore the garden filled with coral sculptures and the villa the museum is housed in. Alternatively, you may wish to take an optional cruise and board a local boat to Neptune's Grotto to witness centuries-old stalactites and a salt-water lake.

Discover Sardinia’s capital of Cagliari on a guided excursion. Visit a selection of the city’s main sights, including the Basilica of Our Lady of Bonaria and Monte Urpinu offering breathtaking views of the city. Stroll through the historic Castello district.
