Mediterranean Prelude to EXPLORA III with Jannik Sinner Itinerary
Day 1 – Genoa, Italy
Begin in historic Genoa — a city of great maritime departures — where Jannik Sinner joins EXPLORA III for an exclusive two-day presence during this special Mediterranean Prelude voyage.
Guests will have access to a limited series of reserved experiences, including an intimate onboard Q&A, bespoke coaching sessions led by his performance team, and a distinguished charity gala dinner in support of the Jannik Sinner Foundation and the MSC Foundation.
Before departure, Genoa invites exploration, from its grand Baroque palazzi and elegant piazzas to aperitivo moments along Corso Italia under the warm Ligurian sky.
Day 2 – Marseille, France
Ocean Wellness takes centre stage as Jannik Sinner and his performance team host exclusive, limited-capacity onboard sessions focused on cultivating focus, resilience and balance at sea — immersive experiences inspired by his disciplined training philosophy.
Meanwhile, Marseille, France’s oldest city, welcomes you under the Provençal sun. Discover a vibrant multicultural port rich with museums, galleries and harbourside cafés famed for bouillabaisse, wander past historic fountains and grand façades, explore the dramatic Calanques cliffs, or venture into the lavender-scented landscapes of Provence. A day to savour inspiring moments both ashore and onboard.
Day 3 – Saint-Tropez, France
Arrive along the sultry shores of the French Riviera, where glamour and Mediterranean beauty meet. Immortalised by icons such as Brigitte Bardot, this playground of international glitterati sparkles with golden beaches, superyachts and effortlessly chic cocktail bars.
Bask in the sun, sip champagne and soak up the jet-set atmosphere before retreating inland to discover breathtaking landscapes and verdant hillsides. Savour the region’s finest fresh produce along the Côte d’Azur, where decadence and natural beauty exist in perfect harmony — before we continue onwards to calmer shores.
Day 4 – Villefranche-sur-Mer (Nice), France
A jewel of the Côte d’Azur, Villefranche-sur-Mer enchants with rainbow-hued houses, flower-lined lanes and a sapphire harbour shimmering in the Mediterranean sun. Stroll along the Corniche beside Plage des Marinières, where soft crescent sands meet cobalt waters, or explore charming chapels and the centuries-old citadel overlooking Cap Ferrat.
Venture further to the medieval hilltop towns of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, beloved for its artistic heritage, or picturesque Èze, whose storybook beauty once captured the imagination of Walt Disney. Experience a day of Riviera elegance and timeless allure.
Day 5 – Livorno, Italy
Experience the cultural heart of Tuscany in Florence, once home to Michelangelo and cradle of the Renaissance. Discover artistic treasures in the renowned Uffizi Gallery, admire the terracotta-tiled dome of the Florence Cathedral, and wander the serene gardens of Boboli Gardens.
As sunset casts a golden glow over the Ponte Vecchio, settle onto an elegant terrazza with a refined Tuscan red and reflect on the legacy of the Medici family — embracing the art of hurry slowly in this timeless city.
Day 6 – Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy
In Rome, the Eternal City reveals far more than its ancient icons. Discover a vibrant blend of old and new — from haute couture and street art to Vespa rides along the Appian Way and coin-tossing at the Trevi Fountain.
Explore Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo within Vatican City, explore the mighty Colosseum, climb the Spanish Steps, and stand beneath the dome of the Pantheon.
Indulge in authentic pasta-making, truffle hunting, gelato tasting and espresso rituals — even unwind in ancient thermal waters — embracing Rome’s effortless fusion of heritage, flavour and modern Italian flair. As you disembark in Civitavecchia, this closes your Mediterranean Prelude aboard EXPLORA III on an unforgettable high note.
