Two days in Malta’s historic capital mark the start of this journey around the Med, which touches both Europe and Africa. Our first stop is Tunisia's ancient trading port of La Goulette, jump-off point for the capital Tunis, ancient Carthage, and the eye-catching blue-and-white seaside village of Sidi Bou Said. Next, we cross to Italy and Trapani, Sicily, where a bowl of the local fish couscous reveals long ties with nearby North Africa, then the Aeolian island of Lipara, for boutiques, bistros and turquoise waters. We reach the Italian mainland at the lemon-scented streets of Sorrento, on the Bay of Naples, and then a day at sea takes us to Civitavecchia, gateway to the capital, Rome. One more sea day brings us to our final stop Barcelona, to sip cava and people-watch on the Ramblas and marvel at Antoni Gaudí’s whimsical architecture.

Trapani, Italy

may 21, 2028

8:00 AM - 10:00 PM

10 EXCURSIONS

There is no shortage of beautiful, historical places in Sicily, but Trapani, on the island's west coast, seems to have it all.Once the port for the Elymian settlement of Eryx, the city became a Carthaginian naval base in 260 BCE before the Romans took it over in 241 BCE. It thrived through the Middle Ages, and much of the medieval old city remains intact. Discover the historic center with its narrow alleys, small shops, and cozy trattorias. Once you've worked up an appetite, find a shady terrace and sample the morning-fresh seafood washed down with a glass of local Marsala wine. The area is one of the most important coastal wetlands, providing sanctuary to many migratory birds. Head to the salt flats at the Riserva Naturale Saline di Trapani e Paceco, just three miles from the port, where white pyramids of salt and pink flamingos create a colorful, striking scene.Of course, no trip to Sicily would be complete without a dip in the sea; surrounded by turquoise waters, pristine sands, and rugged coastline, Trapani's beaches are a delight for sun worshipers.

Lipari Island, Italy

9:00 AM - 6:00 PM

Anchor

7 EXCURSIONS

The Aeolian archipelago - a name derived from `Aeolus,` the god of the winds - is situated off the north coast of Sicily and consists of seven islands, the largest of which is Lipari. The main town, also called Lipari, is both charming and historic, with a largely reconstructed Norman church and a fine archeological museum and park. It is thought that people have lived on the island since 5,000 BC, though not always peacefully. Lipari was a Carthaginian naval base during the first Punic War, fell to Roman forces in 251 BC, and saw a 1544 visit by Barbarossa. His ransack of the town prompted the addition of massive city walls atop the ancient Greek acropolis. Since the 9th century, the island was also a favorite target of pirates, whose raids sent residents scurrying to the protective walls of the acropolis. Today, all is quiet on the Aeolian front, with the only raids being that of friendly visitors on the hunt for souvenirs or descending on beautiful Ponente Beach for an afternoon in the sun.

Famous for its stunning views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the nearby island of Capri, its vibrant cultural and culinary scene, and its convenient and beautiful location as a starting point for exploring the stunning Amalfi Coast, Sorrento surely has a lot to offer the happy traveler who finds themselves here. The views are legendary; the town's cliffside position offers spectacular vistas that have captivated visitors for centuries while the food is off the scale delicious. Sorrento's culinary offerings are a delightful journey through the flavors of the Amalfi Coast, where freshness and simplicity define the cuisine, allowing the region's high-quality ingredients - and culinary creative talent - to shine. If you can tear yourself away from the restaurants, cafes and gelatarias, then take a stroll through the pretty streets. Sorrento's history spans centuries of civilization and cultural influence, with origins tracing back to the ancient Greeks, and layers of Roman, medieval, and Renaissance influence wocen into the tapestry of daily life.
