Come aboard Le Dumont d'Urville for an unforgettable voyage.

Embark on an exceptional gastronomic cruise with Relais & Châteaux. Savor the refined cuisine of Michelin-starred chef Clint Grech, at the helm of the De Mondion restaurant nestled in the heart of the Xara Palace. He will share his expertise and passion to offer you a truly unique culinary experience.

In the mild and bright mid-autumn, the Mediterranean is adorned with golden tones and light caresses its ancient shores. Light breezes carry the whispers of civilisations past as the sun kisses the gentle waves, giving them a soothing glow. Immerse yourself in the spirit of the Mediterranean and succumb to the magic of its unique landscapes and historic UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Experience a cruise where every moment is a journey through history, culture and natural beauty. Take in the spellbinding atmosphere of ancient cities where time seems to stand still, and marvel at the remains of a glorious past, including majestic temples, ruins from antiquity and World Heritage-listed buildings. Discover breathtaking landscapes where the deep blue of the sea meets the golden tones of the Mediterranean coast, and enjoy the tranquillity of places steeped in charm and elegance.
