Marseille to Civitavecchia (Rome)

Leaving Marseille’s Calanques in our wake, we cross into Spanish waters for a few days, calling first at Mahón, the small and elegant capital of the island of Menorca, and then on to the awe-inspiring city of Barcelona. Here, marvel at Gaudí’s extraordinary architecture, hop between the lively tapas bars of the Gothic Quarter, and enjoy the world-class museums and galleries. A day at sea gives you time to recharge before we arrive in Monte Carlo just in time for the Monaco Grand Prix. Expect plenty of excitement as race weekend takes over these historic streets. Next we return to France to visit Villefranche-sur-Mer, a treasure trove of historical, cultural, and natural wonders that captivated the likes of the writer Jean Cocteau. Then we arrive in Italy, visiting Porto Venere, from where you can explore the enchanting coastal villages of the Cinque Terre, and Livorno, gateway to Tuscany, last Civitavecchia where our journey's end.
