Nice | Saturday, Sep 20, 2025 | Saturday, Sep 20, 2025 |
Nice is undoubtedly the place for the opening up of art and culture. The Côte d'Azur has inspired, from time immemorial, the greatest painters, writers and musicians. It has compelled recognition of its avant-garde across the Atlantic, its museums are holding prestigious collections in edifices of renowned architecture. Nice is full of an extraordinary artistic and cultural heritage. The gentle way of life sustains the imaginary world of artists and stimulates their creativeness. A cultural and aesthetic atmosphere prevails here; the cultural life is intense. It is punctuated by temporary exhibitions in the museums and the municipal galleries, by the programming of the theatres of which the most important is the Theatre of Nice - National Dramatic Centre - directed by Jacques Weber. The Opera House of Nice's Theatre proposes events of great quality. | ||
Lerici | Sunday, Sep 21, 2025 | Sunday, Sep 21, 2025 |
Lerici is a picturesque resort town along the Italian Riviera.

Bonifacio | Tuesday, Sep 23, 2025 | Tuesday, Sep 23, 2025 |
Corsica's picturesque southernmost town Bonifacio gazes across the blue Mediterranean to Sardinia. In its narrow cobbled alleys lingers a strangely medieval mood and the ancient stone houses of the fortress-like, once much-besieged community cling to one of the island's most striking sites - a towering promontory of sheer limestone rock jutting out improbably into the sea 200ft below. Founded about AD 828 as a defence against pirates, the town was taken from Pisa at the end of the 12th century by the Genoese and remained under the influence of Genoa until modern times. | ||
Alghero | Wednesday, Sep 24, 2025 | Wednesday, Sep 24, 2025 |
Alghero is the tourist capital of the so-called Coral Riviera. Its Spanish heritage is reflected in many buildings, including the church of San Francesco and the towers and bastions remaining from Spanish fortifications. With its 22 impressive columns, the Church is an outstanding example of Catalan-Gothic architecture. Grottoes and caves attract the adventurous visitor; fishing boats and pleasure craft crowd the colorful harbor; and the crystalline sea is ideal for coral and lobster fishing. Old Town is the site of seven defensive towers that dominate the walls surrounding Alghero. One of the most prominent is Porta Terra, known also as Jewish Tower. At Via Umberto stands Alghero’s 16th-century cathedral. One of the finest examples of Alghero’s Catalan-Gothic architecture is Palazzo d’Albi on Piazza Civica. Nearby stands the elegantly austere palace Palaua Reial. Two-story massive stone towers of Nuraghe Palmavera are characteristic of the island’s numerous prehistoric settlements. | ||

Submit Your Own Review!Sailing experience was wonderful. Very helpful crew. Ability to go to small islands that traditional cruise ships can not go.
Pros: Sailing experience was wonderful. Very helpful crew. Ability to go to small islands that traditional cruise ships can not go.
Cons: Coffee could be better. Rooms could use new mattresses and update TV system.
Review: Great experience overall and would definitely do again. Opportunities to be involved with sailing, climb to the crows nest and ride in the bowstring. Snorkel gear, paddle board, water skiing, laser sail boat and kayak all available at no extra cost. Very different from traditional cruising, not the typical party atmosphere.
The ship is clean, well-managed, the food is great and plenteous, and the shore excursions were fun and worthwhile.
Pros: The ship is clean, well-managed, the food is great and plenteous, and the shore excursions were fun and worthwhile.
Cons: The process for signing up for the shore excursions was a mess. Instead of having all the passengers trying to sign up at the same time in the small library the process should permit on-line signup at ones leisure any time after the final excursions are announced.
