Monaco

Officially known as the Principality of Monaco, this sovereign city-state is famous for its opulence and glamour, boasting high-end casinos, a glitzy harbour lined with superyachts and the exclusive Monte Carlo district, a jetsetter’s haven. This dazzling gem of the Côte d'Azur is the official residence of Monaco’s royal household – the palace has been home to the Grimaldi family since the late 13th century – and boasts several museums. Monaco also hosts numerous cultural events throughout the year, celebrating everything from music to the visual arts, as well as the annual Monaco Grand Prix, a prestigious Formula One motor racing event.

Italy

For those seeking ‘la dolce vita’, you’re sure to find it in abundance here. Stroll the Santa Margherita promenade or the pebbly beachfront, admiring the gleaming yachts and sailing boats.

Italy

Porto Venere

Situated along the Ligurian coast and Italy’s northwest shores, Porto Venere is an ancient city dating back to Roman times. Now a World Heritage site, it’s imbued with a romantic history – thanks to its penchant for attracting famous poets and artists over the centuries. Porto Venere’s wonderful swimming spots were beloved by, amongst others, the legendary English poet Lord Byron, who regularly bathed and meditated here in the early 1800s. One of Porto Venere's most striking features is its Gothic-style Church of St. Peter, dating back to the 12th century and resting atop a rocky headland overlooking the sparkling sea.

Italy

Carrara

Early in the morning, you’ll cruise to the beautiful Tuscany region and Marina di Carrara, known for its marble heritage and scenic views of the Apuan Alps. The highly prized Carrara marble quarried near here not only ranks as one of Italy’s most celebrated artisan products but has been used for centuries to create some of the world’s most important artistic wonders, including Michelangelo’s iconic Statue of David. These shimmering mountains of the purest marble contrast beautifully with Marina di Carrara’s coastal scenery. A late departure gives you time to explore the lively seafront promenade packed with bars and restaurants after the sun goes down.

Italy

Livorno

Along the western coast of Tuscany, the bustling city of Livorno boasts a modern seaport, but is best known for its beauty, picturesque views of the azure Mediterranean Sea and delicious fresh seafood. Not surprisingly, the city's renowned culinary scene is heavily influenced by its seaside location, tempting with signature dishes such as 'cacciucco’, a traditional fish stew that's a must-try for anyone who visits. Livorno is also the gateway to the city of Florence, cradle of the Renaissance, and famed for its art, architecture and history.

France

Calvi, Corsica

Today, you’ll arrive in Calvi, on the northwest shore of the French island of Corsica. Local legend claims Calvi was the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, although historians generally believe he was born in Genoa. While the true origins of the famed explorer remain debated, the natural beauty and rich culture of Calvi are undisputed. Calvi's gorgeous beach presents a crescent-shaped bay of powdery white sand fringed by maritime pines. The town has evolved to become Corsica’s cultural capital, hosting several music festivals and art exhibitions during the idyllic summer months.

Italy

Civitavecchia

Your luxurious yacht returns to Italian shores today as your cruise concludes in Civitavecchia. This historic seaport is the main gateway for the ancient capital of Italy, Rome – aptly known as the ‘Eternal City.’ After bidding farewell to your crew and fellow guests, you’ll be transferred to the airport for your return flight home or to continue your travels.Please book your flight to depart out of Rome after 01:00 PM.The itinerary is a guide only and may be amended for operational reasons. As such, Emerald Cruises cannot guarantee the cruise will be operated unaltered from the itinerary stated above.

Overview
