Explora's name for it: A Journey through Sparkling Bays & Riviera Radiance
The itinerary, port by port
7 calls over 7 nights, Barcelona to Civitavecchia (Rome). Open any port for my full day-ashore guide, what to see, when to go, and how the day actually runs.
Getting there: Flights to Barcelona (BCN) are already bookable for these dates. I watch the fare for booked clients so you book at the right moment. When to book your flights →
Barcelona packs Gaudí's modernisme, a 2,000-year-old Roman and medieval core, and a working Mediterranean waterfront into a single dense, walkable city. Port guide →
Mahon sits at the head of one of the longest natural deep-water harbors in the world, and ships sail several kilometers up that inlet to reach the town, which is the approach itself worth being on deck for. Port guide →
Alghero is a walled Catalan town on Sardinia's northwest coast, where centuries of Aragonese rule left street signs in Catalan and a tight grid of cobbled lanes inside sea bastions. Port guide →
Saint-Tropez is a small Provençal fishing town turned yacht harbor on the Var coast, where the appeal is the waterfront itself: pastel houses, the old fishermen's quarter, and a citadel on the hill behind. Port guide →
La Spezia is a Ligurian port city at the head of the Gulf of Poets, best known as the mainland gateway to the Cinque Terre and Portovenere. Port guide →
Civitavecchia is Rome's deepwater port, a working harbor about 80 km northwest of the capital, and for most travelers it is the gateway rather than the destination. Port guide →
