Your deluxe cruise begins in Civitavecchia, the main seaport of Rome, where you’ll be transferred to your Emerald Cruises luxury yacht and begin your journey of the Mediterranean and Ionian Seas.
Please book your flight to arrive into Rome prior to 02:00 PM.
Sorrento is a tempting destination on the Italian coastline, with exceptional sea views, mouthwatering cuisine and bold Italian style. A romantic coastal haven, Sorrento has steep coastal cliffs studded with authentic Italian villas, world-class restaurants with sweeping views of the Bay of Naples and fragrant lemon groves nestled beside tranquil wine bars.
We set sail early in the morning towards Capri, in the Bay of Naples. The allure of this Italian island paradise is timeless. Stroll the winding streets and dine al fresco under twinkling fairy lights — try the classic Caprese salad and Limoncello, a local lemon liqueur. Marvel at the towering cliffs and hidden sea caves, including the Blue Grotto, an illuminated sea cave.
Overlooking the Ionian Sea on the east coast of Sicily, Giardini Naxos holds historical significance as it was the site of the first Greek colony in Sicily, established in 735 BC. Swim in its clear and glimmering waters or visit the nearby beautiful town of Taormina.
The southern Italian town of Gallipoli is in the province of Lecce, in the region of Apulia. The town is divided into two parts: the Borgo, which is the newer, mainland part of town, and the Old Town, situated on a limestone island and connected to the mainland via a 17th-century bridge.
Fiskardo is a delightful village in the northernmost part of the Ionian island of Kefalonia, Greece. It has a vibrant harbour encircled with cypress and olive trees, beautifully preserved Venetian architecture, and excellent local wines and seafood.
Day 7: Itea, Greece | Transit through the Corinth Canal
The small seaside town of Itea has beautiful coastal scenery and is close to the UNESCO World Heritage site of The Delphi Sanctuary. Delphi is home to the ruins of the Temple of Apollo and is considered the centre of the world in Greek mythology.
It’s time to pass through the 19th century Corinth Canal, a narrow waterway that crosses the isthmus of Corinth in Greece. From the exterior decks, watch as the ship navigates the narrow strip of water bordered by soaring ochre-coloured cliffs.
