Day 1 - Valletta, Malta

Welcome to Valletta, Malta. Europe’s smallest capital was crowned the European Capital of Culture in 2018 for its brilliant mix of history and modernity. Amidst the cobblestone streets and ancient walls of this World Heritage-listed city, you’ll find a lively art, culinary and nightlife scene.

Step on board your Discovery Yacht this afternoon and begin your Mediterranean journey with a warm greeting from the Captain and the crew. Meet your butler and settle into your spacious suite, then join your fellow guests at the Sky Bar to toast the start of an unforgettable Signature Yacht Cruise.

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

Day 2 - Valletta, Malta

On your second day in Malta, embrace the chance to further explore the city's rich history, picturesque streets, and lively ambiance. Whether you visit iconic landmarks, discover hidden treasures tucked away in the old town, or simply unwind and take in the local charm, the day is yours to enjoy.

Later, as Scenic Eclipse II sails out of Valletta’s historic Grand Harbour, take in the breathtaking views of the city’s golden limestone fortifications glowing in the evening light, an unforgettable farewell to this captivating destination.

Day 3 - Trapani, Italy

Trapani was founded as a port for the hilltop fortress town of Erice. As ‘the city between two seas’, it holds an important strategic position on a peninsula where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Tyrrenhian Sea. 
Walk the narrow streets filled with refined baroque buildings with their typical wrought-iron balconies, picturesque restaurants and antique shops. Visit the unfinished Temple of Segesta, built in 424BC by the native Elymi tribe. Be sure to try Cassatelle, delightful deep-fried pastries filled with a sweet mixture of ricotta cheese and chocolate drops, often enhanced with a hint of lemon.

Day 4 - Cagliari, Italy> At Sea

Cagliari is the capital of the island of Sardinia, nestled between the rolling hills and the sea. It’s home to one of the longest beaches in Italy, Poetta Beach, and Molentargius-Saline Regional Park, known for its bright pink flamingo colonies. Try unique culinary experiences, such as the traditional dishes malloreddus (Sardinian gnocchi) and porceddu (roast suckling pig).

Back on board, step into the tranquil Senses Spa# on Deck 6 with its steam rooms, saunas, Salt Therapy Lounge and Vitality pool. Later, choose to dine in the comfort of your suite and have your evening nightcap brought by your butler.

Day 5 - Mahon, Spain

This morning, enjoy the unforgettable experience of sailing into Mahón, where colonial-style houses, dramatic cliffs, and the charming old town create a spectacular panorama.

Known for its British-style Georgian houses and medieval streets filled with palaces, churches and fortresses, Mahon is truly Vella i Bella (‘Old and Beautiful’). As the capital of the laid-back island of Menorca, the slow and gentle waves that lap on the shorelines set the rhythm of life. Experience history during a walk through the old town and gain insight into the great past of the town, a charismatic centre with a charm all its own.

Day 6 - Ibiza, Spain

Whilst Ibiza is known for its dazzling sunsets and thriving party scene, there is more to this island than meets the eye. Home to beautiful nature and superb beaches, you will also discover archaeological sites and small villages almost untouched by modern life. With a full day in port and a late departure, you’ll have time to sample everything this glamorous island has to offer then watch the sun dip below the horizon over a glass of sangria.

Day 7 - Cartagena, Spain > At Sea

A prized location with one of the world’s greatest natural harbours at its doorstep, Cartagena surprises and delights. Once inhabited by the Romans, Cartagena is recognised for the wealth of ancient sites in and around the city. Enjoy exploring this beautiful port today.

As dusk falls, choose from up to 10 dining experiences on board. There’s Elements, where the menu ranges from Italian to steak and seafood, or channel the spirit of Asian Fusion at Koko’s. Journey to France at Lumiere), or dine in the privacy of your suite, choosing from a comprehensive 24-hour menu.

Day 8 - Puerto Banus, Spain

Known for luxury cars, expensive shops and impressive yachts, Puerto Banús sets the standard in exclusivity – so you'll feel right at home on board your Discovery Yacht. This small town was developed in the 1970s to be the perfect combination of Andalusian culture, reflecting the fishing villages of the area as well as a stylish port town with sophistication and elegance.

Set against a backdrop of immense mountains, wind your way through the town’s narrow streets lined with flower boxes. Experience one of the many glitzy bars this evening before another late departure.

Day 9 - Tangier, Marocco

At the northwestern tip of the African continent lies Tangier, guarding the Strait of Gibraltar where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. Known as the White City for its whitewashed houses lining winding streets, Tangier has been shaped by numerous cultures and civilisations over the centuries. The strong Spanish influence makes it a prime example of Spanish-Moorish architecture. Today, Tangier is a bustling modern port and the busiest in the Mediterranean. After departure, don’t miss the stunning passage through the Strait of Gibraltar and a view of the iconic Rock of Gibraltar.

Day 10 - Portimão, Portugal

On the western Algarve, Portimão is a small port with a bustling historic centre. Enjoy the day exploring this once well-known fishing port, now transformed into a breath-taking promenade with shops selling traditional lace, ceramics, and leather goods, and fantastic restaurants. Portimão is much loved for the steep limestone cliffs that surround its sandy beach of Praia da Rocha. Architectural masterpieces from the 19th and 20th century blend with colourful contemporary structures.
