Luxury Rome to Monte Carlo Cruise aboard Silver Ray Itinerary
Day 1 – Civitavecchia (Rome)
All roads lead to Rome, and with good reason – this city is one of the world’s most thrilling, offering unmatched history along every street. The best way to experience Rome is to wander its streets, gelato in hand!
Day 2 – Porto Santo Stefano, Italy
A summer escape for Rome’s historic elite, the stacked waterfront of Porto Santo Stefano is a secluded taste of idyllic southern Tuscany. Physically closer to Rome than Florence, the city is strung to Italy’s western coast by two sandy harnesses and sits on the unique peninsula of Monte Argentario.
Day 3 – Livorno (Tuscany), Italy
A historic port, and a beachy gateway to Tuscany, Livorno welcomes you ashore to explore this enchanted Italian region’s sun-soaked beauty, rich flavors, and world-renowned fine art. Stay in Livorno to explore ‘Piccolo Venezia’, or – Little Venice – a quarter of the town that’s laced with canals, little marble bridges, and plenty of tempting eateries.
Day 4 – Livorno (Tuscany), Italy
Test your nose, as you breathe in the subtleties of Tuscany’s vineyard-draped scenery and visit wineries showcasing the best of the renowned flavors of the Bolgheri wine-growing area. Or head out to Prato, where you’ll find tightly woven textile history. Pisa’s showpiece tower is within reach, as is Florence’s city of immense and imaginative Renaissance beauty.
Day 5 – Portofino, Italy
This section of the Ligurian Coast is a protected area, and home to some of the country’s most picturesque, and jaw-dropping scenery. For the authentic Portofino experience, sail out onto the tranquil waters of the Gulf of Tigullio, to mingle amongst the privileged at play, or settle back in the shade as you take aperitivo on the picturesque waterfront Piazzetta.
Day 6 – Toulon, France
Home to France’s principal naval base, aircraft carriers, and naval shipyards, Toulon stands apart from the glitzy allure of the rest of the Cote d’Azur. Above the town rises Mont Faron, nearly 600 meters high, offering an overview and is the place for some great photos of this southern French city and turquoise bay below.
Day 7 – Monte Carlo, Monaco
From the super-yachts jostling for position in the harbor to the lavish bars splashing out iced champagne, tiny Monaco’s only city is a high-rolling, decadent affair – and a gloriously indulgent, sun-soaked taste of the good life.
