Day 1: Nice, France | Embark

Nice captivates with its blend of Mediterranean glamour and sunlit beaches. Wander along the iconic Promenade des Anglais, immerse yourself in the charm of Vieux Nice’s vibrant alleys and lively markets, and indulge in exquisite local cuisine. With a mild climate year-round, Nice is a perfect retreat where French sophistication meets coastal beauty.

Day 2: Portofino, Italy

Portofino, a picturesque fishing village on the Italian Riviera, is known for its pastel-hued houses, upscale boutiques, and seafood restaurants encircling the charming Piazzetta—a cobbled square overlooking a harbor filled with luxury yachts. A short walk leads to the Church of St. George, a modest yet striking site perched on the narrow Portofino headland. Serving as both a lookout and a place of spiritual significance for millennia, this vantage point offers breathtaking coastal views.

Day 3: Propriano, Corsica, France

The coastal town of Propriano is on the southwest coast of Corsica, about halfway between the major towns of Ajaccio and Bonifacio. The harbor contains a fascinating combination of exclusive yachts and more modest fishing boats and is worth a visit to get some of the best views of the town. The center has plenty of luxury shops, cafes, and bars.

Day 4: Alghero, Sardinia, Italy

Alghero is the main resort northwest of Sardinia and one of its most beautiful medieval cities. Its bustling historic center is packed with excellent bars and restaurants, making it a great place to hang out. It is also ideally placed for exploring the beaches of nearby Riviera del Corallo. Interestingly, a medieval Catalan is still spoken even though the Iberians left three centuries ago.

Day 5: Calvi, Corsica, France

Napoleon once said that he could recognize his native island blindfolded, thanks to the wonderful scent of the maquis. When you arrive in Corsica by sea, that's the first thing you notice. The second is the wild, mountainous landscape, and when you see a medieval citadel overlooking a marina, you know you've arrived in Calvi!

Day 6: Sanary-sur-Mer, France

Nestled along the Cote d'Azur, Sanary-sur-Mer is a picturesque seaside town known for its colorful harbor and lively markets. Its waterfront is lined with pastel-painted houses and traditional fishing boats, creating a charming and authentic atmosphere. Visitors can explore local art galleries, enjoy fresh seafood, and relax on sandy beaches, all while soaking in the relaxed Mediterranean vibe.

Day 7: St. Tropez, France (Beach & Port)

Wet landing on this long sandy beach (4.5 km), classified as a ‘remarkable natural area,’ is at the origin of the ‘Tropezian myth’: at Pampelone, you can swim, sunbathe, eat, and dance.

‘Saint-Trop’ is an iconic seaside resort renowned for its glamour, luxurious lifestyle, and rich historical heritage. This picturesque town, once a modest fishing village, has become a destination that attracts visitors worldwide with its golden sandy beaches, picturesque alleyways, luxury boutiques, and fashionable restaurants.
