Day 1 - Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

Welcome to the Eternal City, where ancient monuments and elaborate churches sit alongside busy cafes and designer boutiques. Your Discovery Yacht will be waiting at Civitavecchia, a Roman port dating back to the second century.

When you arrive, you’ll be warmly welcomed on board by the Captain and crew. Meet your butler and settle into your spacious suite. Head to the Sky Bar on Deck 10 to toast the beginning of your Cruise Voyage as you look over the city’s twinkling lights.

Please book your flight to arrive into Rome prior to 02:00 PM.

Day 2 - Gaeta

Gaeta is situated on a peninsula in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Considered one of the prettiest towns in this region, this hidden jewel has a scenic historical centre that tumbles down to the sea, fantastic golden sandy beaches and clear blue waters. Gaeta is popular with Romans looking for a seaside holiday but remains off the tourist trail and only small ships – like your Disocvery Yacht – can stop here.

Gaeta is famous for its food and the narrow streets of the medieval Old Town are packed with restaurants. You'll depart late this evening, giving you time to explore the city after dark.

Freechoice:
Villa Tiberio & Archeological Museum: A half-day tour of Sperlonga, a small sea village, and the National Archaeological Museum, which features a grotto of Roman marble sculptures.

Archeological Area of Minturno: A guided tour of Minturno, on the banks of the River Garigliano south of Gaeta, now an archaeological site.

Day 3 - Capri

Capri is famous for its jaw dropping beauty; steep green cliffs rise from an impossibly blue sea, elegant villas draped in bougainvillea hide among the hills, and brightly coloured towns line the water’s edge. Only small cruise ships and luxurious superyachts can call at Capri, making for an exclusive experience for our guests.

As this is an overnight stop, you’ll have time to explore Capri Town by night. Wander the Piazzetta, sit at an outdoor restaurant to sample a fresh, aromatic caprese salad or the famous flourless chocolate cake; and listen for the sound of live music.

Freechoice:
Walking tour of Capri & Augustus gardens - Explore Capri's enchanting heart, starting at Marina Grande pier, where you take the funicular to the main village of Capri.

Island of Capri by Land & Sea – Discover the beauty of ‘The Island of Love,’ starting with a cruise along the east coast before ascending to the main village of Anacapri.

Day 4 - Sorrento

A small resort town with a huge reputation, Sorrento is known as the land of lemons and orange groves. It’s the birthplace of limoncello liqueur and the gateway to the spectacular Amalfi Coast.

Day 6 - Calvi, France

Calvi, on the French island of Corsica, has a long and illustrious history. It was founded in the 13th century and its fiery medieval citadel still stands.
