Your journey begins in Rome, where the echoes of antiquity provide a stately welcome to the voyage ahead. After the thrill of Monaco, the EXPLORA I glides south towards the lemon-scented cliffs of Sorrento, serving as a gateway to the pastel-hued wonders of the Amalfi Coast and the ruins of Pompeii. The voyage then shifts to the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Sicily, before finding yourself surrounded by the golden hues of Valletta.
Leaving the storied streets of Malta behind, venture across the Mediterranean to the Balearic beauty of Palma de Mallorca. The expedition reaches its graceful finale in Barcelona, a city defined by the whimsical genius of Gaudi and the vibrant pulse of Las Ramblas.
