    The highlights of this cruise

    What a cinematic start: the romantic setting of VENICE is unforgettably unique. Following your first overnight stay on board, use the morning to take a relaxed stroll through the labyrinth of small streets in the city and see sights such as the Doge’s Palace with your own eyes before the EUROPA sets sail for the Adriatic. Croatia is famous for its azure waters, wooded cliffs and historical cities. Croatian hospitality is a tradition in the resort of OPATIJA. The first hotel on the Adriatic coast was built here in 1884, and the breathtaking view of the bay from the venerable Hotel Kvarner has not changed with the passage of time. The country is proud of its vibrant cultural heritage, and with good reason: the Diocletian’s Palace* in SPLIT has remained almost entirely unscathed for millennia. Originally built as a retirement home for the Roman emperor, the palace now exudes historical significance and is home to boutiques and cafes. The old town of DUBROVNIK also displays its historical wealth. The majestic city walls are some of the best-preserved historical structures. Walk* along the medieval ramparts and take in far-reaching views of the roofs of the “Pearl of the Adriatic” and the open sea. A highlight for connoisseurs: in Konavle Valley south of the city lies the best wine-producing region in the country and the surrounding countryside will put you in the mood to try a fine wine.

    North-eastern Sicily lies in the shadow of Mount Etna*, the imposing silhouette of which awaits you in Giardini Naxos. Setting out from here, you will reach TAORMINA*. Even Goethe was impressed by the flair of the town whose romantic streets and ancient palaces sprawl uphill far above the Ionian Sea. The amphitheatre* is highly popular and the fantastic backdrop is still one of the most beautiful in the world. VALLETTA is also steeped in history. You can enjoy a wonderful view of the sand-coloured city walls even as you stand on the deck. Behind the walls lies an incredibly well-preserved Crusader legacy. The smallest capital in the EU was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in its entirety and, as the Capital of Culture 2018, has launched a few projects – prepare to be surprised. Our tip: Spend the morning exploring the vast array of market stalls on Merchant Street before visiting the baroque Palace of the Grand Master* or the paradisiacal Barrakka Gardens*. Finally, take some time for yourself and set out from CALVI on a hike as you take in Corsica’s wildly romantic mountain scenery and breathtaking views. Or would you prefer to explore the verdant landscape on an off-road journey*? Next morning, start your journey home from NICE or stay a little to savour the coming of spring along the Cote d’Azur.

    * The shore activities are not included in the cruise price and are in the planning stage. Subject to change.

Calvi is the ideal starting point for an excursion into the neighbouring area, especially to see the typical Corsican macchia. Macchia is an exuberant and enchanting mixture of thorn-covered and prickly sclerophyllous plants, trees, bushes and grasses. Typical plants include the common rock rose, phillyria, arbutus, myrtle, broom, buckthorn, thyme, lavender, fennel and rosemary. A special feature of Corsica are the tafoni, created by the weathering of medium to coarse-grained stones. They look somewhat like honeycomb and can be found in an extraordinary variety of shapes.
