Sailing from Civitavecchia to Nice, this voyage blends Italian coastal elegance with the glamour of the French Riviera. After visiting Portoferraio and stylish Portofino, the route continues to Calvi and Menton. Several days in Saint-Tropez coincide with the celebrated Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, offering the chance to observe a spectacular gathering of classic and modern yachts before concluding on the Côte d’Azur.
Civitavecchia is an important seaport serving Rome, the Italian capital. As a key entry point for Mediterranean cruises and ferries crossing the Tyrrhenian Sea, Civitavecchia offers a gateway to a variety of destinations in Italy and beyond. The city is 70 km from Rome and 62 km to Fiumiccino airport.
From his villa in Portoferraio, Napoleon, the exiled Emperor of France, looked out over the waiting ships in the harbour and dreamed of returning to glory. Enjoy a local vineyard tour, and near Portoferraio, discover the remains of an ancient Etruscan civilisation.
Portofino is a fishing village on the Italian Riveria coastline. It's pastel-coloured houses, luxury boutiques and seafood restaurants surround its Piazzetta, a small cobbled square overlooking the harbor, which is lined with super-yachts. A short walk takes you up to the Church of St. George, a church with a cool, plain interior, dramatically situated on the narrow neck of the Portofino headland. As a lookout point, and probably as a site of religious significance, the spot goes back thousands of years.
Napoleon once said that he could recognise 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'll know you've arrived in Calvi!
Bathed in golden light on the border between France and Italy, Menton charms visitors with its pastel-coloured façades, lush gardens and relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere. Stroll through the colourful old town, wander along the lively pedestrian street with its cafés and shops, or enjoy the magnificent Promenade des Sablettes with its beach and views of the harbour and old town. Blessed with a subtropical microclimate that favours the cultivation of lemon trees and exotic flowers, as evidenced by the Val Rahmeh botanical garden, Menton truly deserves its nickname, ‘Pearl of France’. Combining French elegance and Italian warmth, the town invites you to enjoy its sunshine, scenery and the timeless charm of the French Riviera.
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 from all over the world with its golden sandy beaches, picturesque alleyways, luxury boutiques and fashionable restaurants.
In the vibrant bay of Saint-Tropez, the annual Les Voiles de Saint‑Tropez regatta brings together over 250 classic, modern and maxi yachts for a spectacular display on the water. Passengers may watch from the deck as the sailboats cut through the Gulf, spinnakers billowing and crews racing for the finish. The harbour and waterfront become a lively backdrop of colour, sails and sea spray — an unforgettable chance to witness top-level sailing amid the glamour of the Côte d’Azur.
