Isle of Beauty, Italian Shores & Malta

From the French Riviera to Malta, embark on a cruise on which rugged peaks, colourful villages and beaches edged with turquoise waters form landscapes of rare elegance. In Corsica, the steep slopes, stone villages and scent of the maquis scrubland reveal a wild and authentic character while, on the Italian Riviera, small elegant ports, pastel-coloured façades and coves fringed with pine trees create a setting imbued with the relaxed Mediterranean way of life  The Tuscan coastlines will then unveil their natural treasures and their villages facing the sea, while the volcanic islands of the south offer spectacular panoramas. Further along, Sicily blends ancient heritage, Italian charm and horizons dominated by Mount Etna.
