Cities, islands and the Riviera
Explora calls it A Journey of Spirited Mediterranean Cities & Sunlit Islands, and it covers a lot of beautiful ground in one week.
From Rome’s port of Civitavecchia, EXPLORA I heads south to Naples and the island of Capri, then on to Lipari in the Aeolian Islands off Sicily. From there it’s Ajaccio on Corsica, Monte Carlo and Marseille before the journey ends in Barcelona.
We’ve reserved group space on this sailing. Explora’s fare includes drinks, Wi-Fi and gratuities, and we arrange everything around it, from flights to a few extra nights in Rome or Barcelona.
