Depart from Mallorca and set course for the Italian Riviera on a passage aboard the tall ship. Journeying from Palma to La Spezia, this itinerary offers ample time to familiarize yourself with a traditional tall ship, gain hands-on sailing experience, and embrace the open water.
Before setting sail from Palma, take time to explore the old quarter, where winding lanes open into quiet plazas and the magnificent cathedral overlooks the harbor. Once out of port, the focus shifts to life at sea as the Mediterranean unfolds before you.
There are many opportunities to participate—assist the crew with line handling, take a turn at the wheel, or stand watch on deck as the vessel moves northeast. Prior sailing knowledge is not required, and taking part is completely up to you.
Between shipboard duties, relax in a quiet spot on deck, read, or chat with fellow travelers. Away from daily routines, you can fully appreciate the subtle details: the shifting shades of the sea, the hum of the breeze through the rigging, and the distant glow of coastal lights at dusk.
The voyage concludes in La Spezia, nestled within the picturesque Gulf of Poets. Consider extending your stay to wander the town, venture to nearby Portovenere, or visit the cliffside villages of the Cinque Terre along the rugged Ligurian coast.
