The colourful French city of Marseille is our jumping-off point for this 20-night Mediterranean voyage, combining island hopping and sightseeing in the iconic cities of Rome and Barcelona. Sailing first to Calvi on Corsica, we’ll head over to the Italian coast, visiting Livorno, gateway to the Chianti wine region and the art treasures of Florence, before calling by the islands of Elba and Sardinia. From Rome, we cross continents to Tunis for adventures in spice-laden souks. Next, we head north to Europe once more to visit a Carthusian Monastery for olive oil tastings in Mallorca, an architectural tour of the old and new in Valencia, and vibrant Barcelona. More of the Spanish coast is to come, checking in at Cartagena and Malaga before reaching the British territory of Gibraltar, with its swashbuckling history, and then returning north to the summer playground of the rich, Saint Tropez, and Marseille.
