Embark on a captivating southward voyage, guided by the prevailing winds from the grand city of Genoa to the historic port of Portoferraio in the Tuscan Archipelago, continuing on to the lively piazzas and vibrant markets of Civitavecchia.
Our adventure begins in Genoa, a city of contrasts, where grand architecture meets intimate, shaded cobbled streets, and sparkling light illuminates its coastal charm. Known as the "Gateway to the Côte d'Azur," Genoa is a city that captivates with its rich history and unique ambiance.
As we set sail toward Portoferraio, you’ll have the opportunity to lend a hand to the crew in hoisting the sails. Steering the majestic 68-meter ship and feeling it respond to the helm is an experience you’ll treasure forever. The crew is eager to share their sailing expertise and will encourage you to immerse yourself in the experience.
Take part in knot-tying lessons, a fun and interactive way to learn a new skill while exchanging stories with fellow sailors. If conditions allow, climb the mast for spectacular views, or simply relax on the bowsprit and enjoy the open sea. Conclude each day with a sunset drink on deck, basking in the peaceful beauty of the Mediterranean.
Our first stop is Portoferraio, the charming capital of Elba Island, where history, culture, and nature converge. Explore ancient fortresses, visit Napoleon’s residence, or unwind on pristine beaches – there’s something for everyone on this captivating island.
Before long, we continue our journey south to Civitavecchia, where the impressive Fort of Michelangelo, a 15th-century fortress with towering six-meter-thick walls, guards the harbor entrance. Today, it attracts tourists rather than defending against invaders. After disembarking, take time to explore the National Museum, the historic town center, and the vibrant San Lorenzo market, which offers a feast for the senses.
This unforgettable voyage blends adventure at sea with cultural exploration, promising lasting memories of Italy’s rich coastal beauty.
