Set sail on a captivating 5-day Mediterranean adventure aboard this Tall Ship, beginning in the lively city of Barcelona, continuing to the charming island town of Calvi in Corsica, and concluding in the maritime gem of Genoa, Italy.

Our journey kicks off in Barcelona, a city where Gothic and modernist influences come together in perfect harmony. Stroll through the narrow streets of the Gothic Quarter, marvel at Gaudí’s architectural masterpieces such as the Sagrada Família and Park Güell, or unwind at Barceloneta Beach with tapas and fresh seafood.

Once aboard the Tall Ship, dive into the excitement of life at sea. Help the crew raise the sails, take the helm, or simply relax on deck as we chart our course towards Calvi, Corsica.

Throughout the voyage, you’ll have the chance to engage in hands-on sailing activities, such as knot-tying lessons, or enjoy panoramic views from the mast or bowsprit. As the sun sets over the Mediterranean horizon, share stories and drinks with fellow passengers, celebrating the magic of the journey.

In Calvi, immerse yourself in the island’s rich history and natural beauty. Explore the majestic citadel overlooking the town, wander through the cobblestone streets, or relax on the pristine beaches. Don’t miss the chance to savor Corsican specialties, including charcuterie and local wines, while soaking in the island’s unique atmosphere.

Our final destination is Genoa, where you can wander through its maze of alleys, admire the stunning palaces, and indulge in the delicious local cuisine. Be sure to explore the UNESCO-listed Old Town and treat yourself to fresh pesto, a Ligurian specialty that’s a must-try in this historic city.

This unforgettable Mediterranean voyage offers a perfect blend of adventure, history, and cultural discovery.

I am a passionate sailor, and whenever possible spend my weekends in or around the water with my family. In 2017, after 13 years, I stopped working at the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race and moved to Portugal to work on the Santa Maria Manuela project to run sailing holidays.

This schooner was once the flagship of the Portuguese cod fishing fleet. Built in 1937, in the same year as her sister ship Creoula, she was designed to fish the Newfoundland Banks and rich fishing waters of Arctic Greenland. She often carries the small rowing and sailing dories that would have set out from the mother ship to fish for cod, so you can continue her fishing tradition from small boats or from her huge wooden decks.

    A great experience. A debt to the crew, who has been kind and very attentive. Captain Joao, a great professional. Hi, it would make sense to navigate both of them. The vaixell, impeccable. The menjar, molt bo. And it feels like it's like a house. Navigation with winds of 45 knots is fair and safe.
