Set off on an unforgettable 5-day journey aboard this Tall Ship, sailing from the elegant French Riviera city of Nice to the vibrant Spanish city of Valencia, where old-world charm meets modern innovation.
Before departing, take time to immerse yourself in Nice’s maritime heritage. Walk along the iconic Promenade des Anglais, explore the narrow, colorful streets of Vieux Nice, or browse the bustling markets. For a deeper appreciation of the ocean’s wonders, visit the UN Oceans Conference exhibits to learn about marine conservation and the importance of protecting our waters.
With the dazzling colors of the French Riviera fresh in our minds, we set sail southwest toward Valencia. Get involved by joining the crew to raise and set the sails. There’s nothing quite like taking the helm of this majestic 68-meter sailing ship and feeling its graceful response to your touch. The crew’s passion for sailing is contagious, and they’ll happily guide you as you participate in the ship’s operations.
Throughout the voyage, you’ll have the chance to learn new skills, like knot-tying, while exchanging stories with fellow travelers. Weather permitting, you can climb the mast for spectacular views or lounge on the bowsprit, feeling the sea breeze. Evenings bring the perfect opportunity to unwind with a sunset drink on deck, as the horizon glows with the fading Mediterranean light.
The adventure culminates in Valencia, a city of stunning contrasts where historic charm meets futuristic design. Explore the old town with its winding streets, admire the Cathedral at Plaza de la Reina, and climb the Miguelete Tower for panoramic views. Visit the UNESCO-listed Silk Exchange and Europe’s largest fresh produce market, the Central Market. Of course, no trip to Valencia would be complete without savoring a traditional paella.
As the journey ends, celebrate your time at sea with your shipmates, sharing stories and memories before disembarking in this lively and captivating city.
