What to expect

The highlights of this cruise

Start the summer early and accompany the EUROPA to the islands of the western Mediterranean. Greek insider tips, Italian hotspots and the enchanting Corsican landscape promise a variety of views.

Leave the port of Athens, PIRAEUS, behind you and follow the call of the island of HYDRA, whose picturesque beauty has attracted many celebrities. With azure-blue bays and golden beaches, Crete and the bay of CHANIA also tempt you to stay and linger for a while. Over the next few days, you can indulge in Italy’s dolce vita: discover Sicily’s history on a walk through SYRACUSE and sample the island’s regional cuisine in TRAPANI. The views around AMALFI are just as legendary – whether enjoying a cappuccino in the colourful harbour or travelling by boat to Positano*. Spend peaceful hours on the Mediterranean island gems of CAPRI and PONZA before reaching a hikers’ paradise in CORSICA. In the mountain village of Vescovato*, you will learn more about the island’s unique traditions. The next morning, we will see you off in MONTE CARLO with unforgettable memories in your luggage.

  • Crossing the Ponte Santa Lucia and Ponte Nuevo bridges, you’ll reach the historic heart of Syracuse, a city in south-eastern Sicily that was once one of the most powerful commercial centres of the ancient world. The centrally located Neapolis archaeological park includes the Roman amphitheatre, the Teatro Greco and the Orecchio di Dionisio, a limestone cave shaped like a human ear. The impressive cathedral of Santa Maria delle Colonne was built on the site of several temples dedicated to the goddess Athena. Thanks to this fascinating blend of ancient and baroque elements, Syracuse has earned UNESCO World Heritage status.

From the centre of Anacapri, a cable car takes you up to Monte Solaro at 589 m (1,932 ft) above sea level. From here, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the azure-blue sea, the mysterious caves and the jagged cliffs of the island.
