Incredible two weeks. Everything was 5* +. We loved the dining, drinks, entertainment, cleanliness, port stops. Cannot find a single fault. Unable to comment on excursions other than that they’re pricey. We did it all ourselves for much cheaper.

The city is located on the north-eastern side of Sardinia, on the gulf of the same name, and its port is the closest to the Peninsula.

Things to do in Olbia, Sardinia:
Basilica of San Simplicio
The Basilica of San Simplicio is the most important place of worship in the north-east of Sardinia. Built between the end of the 11th and the second half of the 12th century, it is dedicated to San Simplicio, the first bishop of Olbia. The style is mainly Pisan Romanesque.
Castello di Pedres
The Castle of Pedres, built in the mid-thirteenth century, is an ancient medieval fort not far from the city center of Olbia. At the time, it defended the territory of Civita, the ancient name of the city, and the borders with the nearby Giudicato di Torres.

Capri (Naples)
DAY 4
05 Jul 2024
Time at Port: from 7 AM to 5 PM
The small and charming island of Capri is located in the Gulf of Naples, south-west of the Sorrento peninsula, to which it was once connected. Its coasts boast numerous caves and quarries alternating with steep cliffs. Capri is divided into the municipalities of Capri and Anacapri, and there is a total of about 14,000 inhabitants. The Blue Grotto, the Gardens of Augustus, the Villa San Michele and the Monte Solaro are some of the places of interest that are worth a visit.
Things to do in Capri (Naples):
Anacapri
Anacapri is one of the two administrative municipalities of the island of Capri. It rises on the slopes of Monte Solaro, and is where the Blue Grotto and Villa San Michele are located. Visitors shroud take the time to tackle the Phoenician steps in order to then enjoy the stunning views below.
Blue Grotto
The Blue Grotto, whose beauty has been praised many times by many poets, is undoubtedly the best known spot in the island of Capri. The enclosed cave owes its name to the shade of blue that the pool of water takes on, thanks to the light that filters through a partially submerged opening.
Gardens of Augustus
The Gardens of Augustus make up a gorgeous city park on the island of Capri. It is an extensive botanical garden, hosting many different plants typical of the area. It also offers a breathtaking view of the Faraglioni rock formation, and the bay of Marina Piccola.
Marina Piccola
Marina Piccola is one of the tourist hot spots on the island of Capri. Located on the opposite side of the main port and not far from the gardens of Augustus, most visitors love to take a dip in its crystal clear waters and gaze at the view of the Faraglioni rock formation.
Monte Solaro
Mount Solaro, at 589 meters high, is formed by the same limestone of which the entire island of Capri is made. A hike here enables visitors to see around a thousand different species of plants, and the rare blue lizard, the only one of its kind in the world.
Ville San Michele
Villa San Michele is located in the municipality of Anacapri, in the north of the island. It owes its name to the ruins of a 10th century chapel dedicated to San Michele. The villa is also home to a majestic statue of a sphinx looking out to sea, which dates back to the reign of Ramses II in the 13th century BC.
Mount Vesuvius
The profile of Naples would not be the same without Mount Vesuvius that dominates the city skyline. Versuvius is known for the violent eruption of AD 79, which became famous for the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum, and was witnessed by Pliny the Younger.
Pompeii
The history of Pompeii begins in the 9th century BC, when the area was inhabited by the Opici people - an ancient Latin population. Today the town is famous because of the eruption of Vesuvius, which occurred in 79 AD, which led to its total destruction.
National Archaeological Museum
The opening of the historic National Archaeological Museum of Naples took place in 1816. Built by Ferdinando I of Borbone, at the time king of the Two Sicilies, it boasts the richest collection of works and archaeological finds with regard to Roman history.
Herculaneum
The tremendous eruption of Vesuvius, in 79 AD, not only destroyed Pompeii but also the ancient city of Herculaneum. The archaeological excavations of this city can be visited today and, since 1997, are part of the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Piombino
DAY 5
06 Jul 2024
Time at Port: from 9 AM to 7 PM
Piombino is the second Tuscan port after Livorno, perfect for quickly reaching the Island of Elba. It is thought that the first human settlements date back to the Etruscan civilisation (between the 8th and the 2nd century BC), as evidenced by the tombs discovered at the nearby Populonia and Baratti. In fact, you can visit the Archaeological Park of Baratti and Populonia in the company of a guide, to discover the necropolises and acropolis.
Things to do in Piombino:
Gulf of Baratti
The Gulf of Baratti owes its name to the town of the same name located on the coast. The area is known for its Etruscan burial mound - testimony to the ancient civilisation of central Italy - which today are part of Baratti and Populonia Archaeological Park.
Archaeological Museum of Populonia
The Archaeological Museum of Populonia is home to numerous finds from prehistoric and ancient times. One particularly special item among these is a silver amphora dating back to the 4th century AD, which is believed to have come from the city of Antioch after being lost during a shipwreck.
Populonia Archaeological Park
Established in 1998, Baratti and Populonia Archaeological Park is part of the whole of the Val di Cornia Parks. Here you can explore the ancient city of Populonia, the only Etruscan urban settlement on the sea.
Villefranche, France

Musee Matisse

Castell de Sant Esteve
Found at the end of La Fosca beach, Castell de Sant Esteve is a great example of Palamo’s traditional architecture from around the 12th and 13th centuries. It is not known exactly when the castle was founded, but it’s still worth exploring these eerie ruins.
The Fishing Museum
The fishing trade in Palamos is a spectacle in itself, though to truly uncover the history of this industry, a visit to the Museu de la Pesca is well worth it. Through a range of exhibitions and activities, discover what it’s like to be a real fisherman!
