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

Day 2 - Roses, Spain

Step out onto your verandah this morning for a panoramic view of one of the most beautiful bays in the world. The city of Roses is on Spain’s Costa Brava, where the mountains meet the sea. Walk through the city’s fascinating past at the Ciutadella historic site. Roses is flanked by long, sandy beaches and secluded coves. The surrounding waters are famous for their marine life and snorkelling spots.

You will enjoy a late departure tonight, meaning you can make the most of Roses’ famous sunsets. Be sure to sample the local specialty, a delicious Catalan fish stew.

Day 3 - Collioure, France

This morning, sail into another of the Mediterranean’s dazzling, natural deep-water harbours. Collioure has an intricate history spanning more than 2,500 years.

Bedecked with small beaches, castles by the sea, pastel houses and pink-domed bell towers, Collioure is a favourite of artists. Walk through the town and lose yourself on the streets lined with cafes and gelato shops. With a mix of French and Spanish influences, Collioure is famed for its wine and salted anchovies, both of which are exported all over France.

Freechoice:
Walking tour of Collioure with Tapas: Discover the enchanting village of Collioure, from the waterfront to the church and the Majorca King's Castle, extended by Pierre IV of Aragon during the 14th century. After the visit, join a local tapas bar, followed by some free time.

Day 4 - Sanary-sur-Mer, France

The town of Sanary-sur-Mer on the French Riviera began life as a fishing village and the marina is still crammed with hundreds of brightly coloured wooden boats. As it is only a small port, your Discovery Yacht will stop outside the harbour and use tenders to take guests ashore right in the centre of town. You’ll quickly be charmed by the pretty palm-lined harbour, the quiet pedestrian streets and pastel-hued buildings, all clustered around a 13th century watchtower, which you can climb for sweeping views of the town.

After a day of exploring, indulge in one of the up to 10 all-inclusive on board dining experiences, sampling fine French cuisine at Lumière* or vibrant Asian Fusion at Koko’s. Alternatively, choose to dine in the comfort of your suite and have your evening nightcap brought by your butler, choosing from a range of premium wines, beers and spirits.

Day 5 - Saint-Tropez, France

Saint-Tropez, once a quiet fishing village, became a glamorous travel destination in the 1950s, thanks to Brigitte Bardot and the film And God Created Woman. Today, it still retains all the glitz and glamour, alongside glittering blue seas, stunning beaches and a bohemian art scene.

Day 6 - Villefranche-sur-Mer

Tucked in a deep bay between Nice and the Cap Ferrat peninsula, Villefranche-sur-Mer is one of the hidden gems of the Côte d’Azur. This is a tender port, so your Discovery Yacht will wait just offshore as you are ferried right into the centre of town.

Enjoy a full day to spend in Villefranche-sur-Mer, where you can explore the town or make the short trip into Nice to discover its many museums, historical sites and galleries. A late-night departure allows you ample time to wander along the waterfront to discover its cosy wine bars and glamorous rooftop cocktail spots.

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. It has been a tourist hotspot since the 1920s, thanks to its a moon shaped bay lined with a golden, sandy beach and forested mountains on the horizon. Today, it has the feel of a chic resort on the French Riviera, with waterfront restaurants, luxury hotels and multi-million dollar yachts at anchor.

Learn more about your Discovery Yacht with your Captain and crew at the open bridge. They will share with you the details about the world-class technology, which includes two on board helicopters^ and a submersible^, offering exclusive ways to explore across your journey.
