Luxury Journey from Malta to Italy Itinerary
Day 1 – La Valletta, Malta
Welcome to the stunning La Valleta, one of the most spectacular cruise entrances in the world. As a UNESCO World Heritage site, this capital city offers a dense concentration of history and culture. One of the absolute must-sees is St. John’s Co-Cathedral, renowned for its opulent Baroque interior and the masterpiece “The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist” by Caravaggio.
Day 2 – La Goulette (Tunis), Tunisia
La Goulette is where the salty breeze of the Mediterranean meets centuries of Tunisian history. Known as the gateway to Tunis, this vibrant port town is a colorful blend of old-world charm and modern maritime energy. Whether you are exploring the towering stone walls of the 16th-century Kasbah, strolling along the sun-drenched beach, or using it as a starting point for the ancient ruins of Carthage and the blue-and-white alleys of Sidi Bou Said, La Goulette offers a soulful first look at the beauty of Tunisia.
Day 3 – Palermo, Sicily
Taste wine through a patchwork of fertile vineyards below rumbling giant Mount Etna and talented Teatro Greco, Sicily’s most dolce vita hill town. Take in noble UNESCO heritage sites, tour leafy Villa Tasca, marvel medieval mosaic masterpieces at Monreale or Cefalù and continue the Greek theme to visit tumbled ruins and secluded temples.
Welcome Baroque brilliance, Aztec chocolate, and modern-day charms in Sicily’s honey-hued deep south towns. From Michelin-starred temple dining to Trapani beaches and fishermen mending nets outside hipster bars – such contrasts are at the soul of this irresistible island.
Day 4 – Day at Sea
These moments at sea offer a rare chance to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with yourself and your loved ones. With so many onboard experiences, each day at sea is unique and memorable.
Day 5 – Rome, Italy
The Eternal City is home to a seemingly endless array of historical gems. Explore the ancient grandeur of the Colosseum, step inside the breathtaking Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, and wander through the impressive galleries of the Capitoline Museums.
Rome is also celebrated for its world-renowned cuisine, from authentic pizza and rich handmade pasta to fine cheeses, wines, and fresh seafood.
