Mediterranean Cruise with Italy and Malta ITINERARY

Day 1 – Barcelona, Spain

Embark your cruise in Barcelona, offering experiences and sights for all, from classical and modern art to daring architecture, from innovative design to ancient history, plus world-class gastronomy.

Day 2 – Marseille, France

Marseille is France’s oldest city, where rich history, Mediterranean charm, and vibrant culture come together. Explore the picturesque Old Port, wander through colorful streets filled with cafés and street art, or discover historic landmarks overlooking the coastline. As the gateway to Provence, Marseille offers a unique blend of French tradition, stunning seaside scenery, and world-famous cuisine, making it one of the Mediterranean’s most captivating destinations.

Day 3 – Genoa, Italy

Cruise to Genoa, a gateway to the Italian riviera. Visit its massive Aquarium, the picturesque Boccadasse district, a lakeside fishing village, and stroll by Via Garibaldi, a street lined with magnificent Renaissance and Baroque palaces. Taste signature dishes made with fresh products such as pesto genovese, focaccia and farinata. Admire while cruising or travel to Cinque Terre, one of Italy’s most beautiful stretches of coastline.

Day 4 – Naples, Italy

Continue to Naples, best known for its UNESCO-listed Historic Centre. Visit the medieval Castel Nuovo, with breath-taking views of Mount Vesuvius, and world-famous museums, such as the Capodimonte, with its collections of Baroque and Renaissance art. Walk through Spaccanapoli, lined with artisan workshops, and try Neapolitan pizza, fried street snacks and typical pastries. Combine your cruise with an excursion to Pompeii, which ruins were rediscovered after 1700 years from the Vesuvius eruption.

Day 5 – Messina, Italy

Proceed to Messina, which Duomo’s epitomizes the city’s phoenix-like ability to re-create itself from the ashes of its last disaster. It’s the reconstruction of a twelfth-century cathedral erected by Roger II. Its detached campanile, or bell tower, puts on its best show at noon every day, when a bronze lion unleashes a mighty roar over the city that can be quite alarming. See Chiesa Annunziata dei Catalani, the city’s only surviving example of Arab/Norman church-building. Take a trip to Taormina, captivating its visitors with its famous ancient theatre, grand hotels and engaging small-town charm.

Day 6 – Valletta, Malta

Next stop is the UNESCO-protected port of Valletta, a place with one of the greatest density of historical attractions to visit. See the famous Maltese balconies, which decorate the facades of houses in its old quarter, St. John’s Co-Cathedral, and The National Museum of Archaeology, which hosts prehistoric artefacts found on the island.
