Itinerary



Day 1 - Day 1 Olbia, Sardinia
Departure 7:00 pmOlbia, a Mediterranean gem, captivates with ancient grandeur and contemporary allure. The historic ruins of Castello di Pedres narrate a fascinating tale, while beaches like Pittulongu entice with their crystal-clear waters. The city's vibrant ambiance and culinary diversity, coupled with the surrounding natural beauty, render Olbia an enchanting destination, offering both cultural immersion and beachfront bliss.
Day 2 - Day 2 Day under full sails
Climbing the rigging, untying ropes, setting sails – today is all about sailing. Time to lean back and relax in the deck chair and watch the passionate crew hoisting the sails by hand.
Day 3 - Day 3 Bastia, Corsica
Arrival 8:00 am, Departure 1:30 pmHe could, Napoléon Bonaparte once said, recognize his home island by the smell with his eyes closed. And indeed – as soon as the windjammer approaches Corsica, the sea breeze mixes with the spicy scent of the macchia, which covers the island like a green carpet. Sun, wind and sea have shaped the diverse island, where high peaks alternate with fertile valleys, rugged cliffs with gentle beaches. The port city of Bastia radiates a lot of Mediterranean flair. Its lively center is the square Saint-Nicolas, which – like the pretty old town at the harbor – can be easily reached on foot.
Day 4 - Day 4 Portoferraio, Elba
Arrival 8:00 am, Departure 1:30 pmAlthough Elba is only a small Tuscan island, you will be surprised by how diverse it is. Imposing cliffs, white sandy beaches, avenues of cypresses, vineyards and olive groves, traditional villages and elegant beach resorts make the place of Napoleon's exile somewhere you would in fact like to be banished for longer. The beautiful old town of Portoferraio with its narrow streets of steps and medieval fortress is set high up on a rocky headland. In the enchanting town of Porto Azzurro, the palm-lined promenades, charming piazzas and small beach are at the center of the town's activities.
Day 5 - Day 5 Calvi, Corsica
Arrival 8:00 am, Departure 6:00 pmCalvi has something enjoyable to suit every taste. Romantics can take a walk through the old town and the view from the fortified walls is not to be missed. A stroll through the town's streets brings you to the colorful, lively lower town with its bars and exclusive cafés. Anyone who enjoys a walk on the sand will love the town's long beach. To the east, sheltered by the highest mountains in Corsica, a lush green wild garden has grown around Calvi, filled with olive groves and orange trees. In the La Balagne region in the interior, you can discover hidden picturesque villages which show you the traditional side of Corsica and, displaying the idiosyncratic pride on the island, there is scarcely a road sign that is not written in the Corsican language.
Day 6 - Day 6 Ajaccio, Corsica
Arrival 8:00 am, Departure 1:30 pmThe majestic-looking little town of Ajaccio sits in a beautiful bay on the south of the island. Its Mediterranean atmosphere evokes the Côte d’Azur, but with a typically Corsican character. Napoleon Bonaparte was born in Ajaccio and the great Corsican is still present everywhere today. One of Napoleon's uncles bequeathed his art collection to the town and you can now view this in one of the museums.
Day 7 - Day 7 Alghero, Sardinia
Arrival 8:00 am, Departure 1:30 pmA beautiful beachside promenade and, on a headland, the old town of Alghero which sits defiantly behind thick fortifications. Alghero is something very special. Many buildings and squares in the charming old town were built when it was ruled by the Catalans and some of the inhabitants still speak a dialect of Catalan today. That's why the town is also lovingly known as "Little Barcelona". Grand palaces, numerous churches and towers, winding lanes and lively squares with snug bars and restaurants transport you into the Middle Ages with a Catalan-Gothic character.
Day 8 - Day 8 Bonifacio, Corsica
Arrival 1:30 pm, Departure 11:00 pmThe chalk cliffs are visible even from a long way away and fall away steeply into the sea like a wall – around 70 meters (230 foot) high. Hidden behind them is a fjord-like inlet, which provides the beautiful entrance into the natural harbor of Bonifacio. The elegant modern lower town is set around the harbor with a promenade that runs the length of the deep harbor bay and leads to the elegant marina. More than 187 stone steps, majestically named the "Staircase of the King of Aragon", lead you up to the medieval upper town which sits lofty and impregnable high up on the top of a steep chalk cliff.
Day 9 - Day 9 Olbia, Sardinia
Arrival 8:00 amOlbia, a Mediterranean gem, captivates with ancient grandeur and contemporary allure. The historic ruins of Castello di Pedres narrate a fascinating tale, while beaches like Pittulongu entice with their crystal-clear waters. The city's vibrant ambiance and culinary diversity, coupled with the surrounding natural beauty, render Olbia an enchanting destination, offering both cultural immersion and beachfront bliss.
