Description
Discover the treasures of Sicily, one of the jewels of the Mediterranean, on a new itinerary connecting Malta and Sicily.
During this 8-day cruise around Sicily aboard our new luxury expedition ship Le Champlain, you will be able to explore mythical places at the crossroads of Eastern and Western civilisations.
Valletta, the capital of Malta, will be our departure point. Then, we will head straight to the Sicilian coast. In Palermo, the capital of Sicily, you will be able to visit emblematic landmarks such as the 12th century cathedral and Teatro Massimo, one of the largest theatres in Europe.
Lipari, the capital of the volcanic Aeolian Islands, is renowned for its many natural and architectural treasures. Not far from there, you will be able to contemplate the magnificent show put on by the Stromboli volcano and its regular lava eruptions.
You will then take to the sea once again to discover Taormina, overlooking Etna’s blanket of snow. Its streets will lead you to its famed ancient Greek theatre, where the quality of the acoustics is exceptional.
