Seabourn

Daily Itinerary

1. Day 1

   Civitavecchia, Rome

   Depart 17:00

   Italy

   

   Rome's ancient maritime gateway since the Emperor Trajan commissioned its harbour in 106 AD, Civitavecchia is the natural prologue to the Eternal City — just seventy minutes southeast by express rail. The port's Renaissance fortress, designed in part by Michelangelo, anchors a working waterfront that has welcomed travellers for millennia. Beyond Rome's unmissable monuments, consider an afternoon in the Civitavecchia thermal baths, drawing on mineral waters prized since antiquity. Spring and autumn offer the ideal balance of mild weather and manageable crowds for exploring the capital's layered history.

2. Day 2

   Bonifacio

   Arrive 07:00Depart 17:00

   France

   

   Bonifacio is a dramatically cliff-perched medieval citadel at Corsica's southern tip, where Genoese ramparts tower above a fjord-like natural harbour in the turquoise Strait of Bonifacio. Visitors should descend the vertiginous Escalier du Roi d'Aragon carved into the limestone cliffs and take a boat excursion to the pristine Lavezzi archipelago nature reserve for world-class snorkelling among sculpted granite formations. The ideal window is June or September, when the Mediterranean light is at its most luminous and the narrow streets of the haute ville remain blissfully uncrowded.

3. Day 3

   Cagliari

   Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00

   Italy

   

   Cagliari, Sardinia's sun-drenched capital overlooking the Gulf of Angels, has absorbed three thousand years of Phoenician, Carthaginian, Roman, Pisan, and Spanish ambitions into a layered and deeply compelling Mediterranean city — where the flamingo-fringed salt lagoons stretching to the city's western edge create one of Europe's most surreal urban vistas. The Castello quarter's medieval ramparts enclose a cathedral, Pisan towers, and panoramic terraces that survey the entire city and coastline, while the Marina district below offers some of the finest bottarga pasta and fresh tuna in Italy. Visit May through September for beach perfection; the prehistoric Nuraghe Su Nuraxi at Barumini, a UNESCO Wonder, is an hour's drive north.

4. Day 4

   Trapani (Sicily)

   Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00

   Italy

   

   Trapani is western Sicily's sickle-shaped port city where ancient salt flats, cloud-wrapped medieval Erice, and the crystal-clear Egadi Islands converge at the Mediterranean's cultural crossroads. Visit April through October via Seabourn or Windstar for cable-car ascents to Norman-era pastry shops, sunset salt-flat reflections, and the Arab-influenced seafood couscous that distinguishes this coast from anywhere else in Italy.

5. Day 5

   Valletta, Malta

   Arrive 09:00Depart 23:00

   Malta

   

   Valletta, the golden fortress capital of Malta, was hewn from a limestone peninsula in defiant haste after the Knights of Saint John — warrior monks of extraordinary valor — repulsed an overwhelming Ottoman assault in 1565. Its grid of steep baroque streets is dense with Caravaggio masterworks in the Co-Cathedral of St. John, shaded piazzas alive with café society, and bastions commanding breathtaking views over the Grand Harbour's legendary twin forts. The mild Mediterranean climate welcomes visitors year-round, though spring and autumn offer the most pleasurable temperatures for unhurried exploration of this compact UNESCO World Heritage capital.

6. Day 6

   Mgarr

   Arrive 07:00Depart 15:00

   Malta

   

   Mġarr is the harbor gateway to Gozo, Malta's greener sister island, home to the Ġgantija Temples—among the oldest free-standing structures on Earth, predating the pyramids—and the medieval Citadella fortress. Must-dos include visiting the 5,600-year-old temples, diving at Dwejra's dramatic coastline, and tasting fresh ġbejna cheese and rabbit stew. April through June and September through November offer ideal mild temperatures.

7. Day 7

   Burg

   Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00

   Germany

   

   Burg, Germany is a distinctive port city where deep cultural heritage meets authentic local atmosphere, featured on itineraries by CroisiEurope. Must-do experiences include walking the historic center to experience the layered architectural heritage, and seeking out the regional culinary traditions at a locally favored establishment away from the port area. The optimal time to visit is June through August, when summer months bring the warmest temperatures and longest days.

8. Day 8

   At Sea

   

9. Day 9

   Mahon

   Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00

   Spain

   

   Mahón commands one of the Mediterranean's deepest natural harbours, a fjord-like inlet on Menorca that captivated British admirals, Phoenician traders, and Roman generals in turn — its Georgian townhouses and gin distilleries speaking eloquently to centuries of contested heritage. Explore the clifftop old town's baroque Santa María church with its 3,200-pipe organ, then cross the water to the imposing fortress of La Mola for sweeping harbour views. The island's prized caldereta de langosta, a slow-simmered lobster stew, is best savoured at the fishing village of Fornells. Visit between May and June or September and October for warmth without the summer crowds.

10. Day 10

    Palma de Mallorca

    Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00

    Spain

    

    Palma de Mallorca announces itself with one of the most spectacular Gothic cathedrals in the world — La Seu, its honey-coloured sandstone buttresses rising directly from the bay, its interior modified by Antoni Gaudí and illuminated by the world's largest Gothic rose window. The old town behind it is a quarter of Arab baths, Renaissance palaces converted into boutique hotels, and the Passeig del Born — a plane-tree-shaded promenade where Balearic life conducts itself with unhurried grace. The local ensaïmada pastry and fresh sobrasada sausage from the island's black pigs are essential breakfast rituals. Visit May, June, or September: warm, brilliant, and measurably calmer than the July–August peak.

11. Day 11

    Salerno

    Arrive 07:00Depart 17:00

    Italy

    

    Salerno is a historic Campanian port city nestled between the Amalfi Coast and Cilento National Park, home to Europe's first medieval medical school and a magnificent Romanesque cathedral with Byzantine bronze doors. Visitors should not miss the Lungomare Trieste promenade at sunset and a plate of hand-rolled scialatielli ai frutti di mare in the atmospheric old town. The mild Mediterranean climate makes Salerno enchanting year-round, though late spring through early autumn offers the most luminous light and the fullest expression of its coastal character.

12. Day 12

    Valencia

    Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00

    Spain

    

    Valencia, Spain's luminous third city, dazzles with a creative energy anchored by two thousand years of layered civilization — Roman foundations, Moorish irrigation gardens, a Gothic cathedral housing what many believe to be the Holy Grail, and Santiago Calatrava's futuristic City of Arts and Sciences gleaming beside a park-filled riverbed. The city invented paella over an open fire of orange-wood in the surrounding huerta, and the Las Fallas festival each March — when neighborhoods compete to erect and then ceremonially burn towering satirical sculptures — is one of Europe's most spectacular celebrations. Valencia's Mediterranean climate makes it exceptional year-round.

13. Day 13

    Cartagena, Spain

    Arrive 07:00Depart 16:00

    Spain

    

    Cartagena, Spain, is a storied Mediterranean port city founded by the Carthaginians in 227 BC, where a spectacularly preserved Roman Theatre and Modernista architecture reveal layers of civilisation along a sheltered natural harbour. Visitors should not miss the caldero rice at a harbourside restaurant and a morning exploring the archaeological quarter from the Roman Forum to the Punic Wall. The mild Murcian climate makes autumn through late spring ideal, when temperatures invite leisurely wandering without the intensity of high summer.

14. Day 14

    Malaga

    Arrive 08:00Depart 22:00

    Spain

    

    Málaga distils three thousand years of Mediterranean civilisation into one of Andalusia's most compelling port cities, where the Moorish Alcazaba fortress surveys a modern waterfront of elegant promenades and sun-drenched café terraces. Do not leave without visiting the Museo Picasso — the artist was born here in 1881 — and ascending to the ruined Castillo de Gibralfaro for panoramic views stretching to the Rif Mountains of Morocco on clear days. Malagueta anchovies fried in olive oil and the sweet Pedro Ximénez-laced dessert wine are the city's defining pleasures. The shoulder seasons of April, May, and October offer perfect Mediterranean warmth.

15. Day 15

    Gibraltar

    Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00

    Gibraltar

    

    Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory perched at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic beneath an iconic limestone monolith steeped in over a millennium of contested history. No visit is complete without ascending the Rock to encounter the Barbary macaques and the panoramic views stretching to North Africa, followed by a plate of calentita — the territory's beloved Genoese-heritage chickpea bake — at a Main Street bakery. The mild Mediterranean climate makes Gibraltar a rewarding port call year-round, though spring and early autumn offer the clearest skies for spotting whales and dolphins in the Strait.

16. Day 16

    Tangier

    Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00

    Morocco

    

    Tangier is Morocco's storied gateway between Africa and Europe, a city of Phoenician origins where a whitewashed medina, vibrant souks, and a cosmopolitan waterfront converge at the Strait of Gibraltar. Visitors should not miss savouring traditional pastilla in a rooftop riad and exploring the Kasbah's amber-lit ramparts at sunset. The ideal season to arrive is April through June or September through October, when mild Mediterranean temperatures and fewer crowds allow the city's layered beauty to reveal itself at an unhurried, luxurious pace.

17. Day 17

    Cadiz

    Arrive 08:00Depart 22:00

    Spain

    

    Cádiz, founded by Phoenician traders around 1100 BC and a strong contender for the oldest continuously inhabited city in Western Europe, juts into the Atlantic on a narrow peninsula where honey-colored ramparts frame improbable views of open ocean and the sun sets directly into the sea. The old quarter is an intoxicating labyrinth of baroque churches, hidden plazas, and carnival spirit — Cádiz's annual February carnival is the wildest and most satirically sharp in Spain — while the tapas culture here, centered on fresh Atlantic seafood cooked with Andalusian simplicity, represents Spanish cuisine at its most elemental and joyful. Visit February for carnival or spring for gentle Atlantic breezes. Seville is ninety minutes inland by bus or rail.

18. Day 18

    At Sea

    

19. Day 19

    Leixoes

    Arrive 08:00

    Portugal

    

    Leixões is the cruise port for Porto — UNESCO's dramatic river city where 20,000 azulejo tiles line a railway station, port wine lodges offer centuries of vintage tastings, and the Ribeira district cascades to the Douro in granite-and-tile splendor. Visit June via Celebrity or Ambassador Cruise Line for the São João festival and authentic Porto character.

20. Day 20

    Leixoes

    Depart 16:00

Visit June via Celebrity or Ambassador Cruise Line for the São João festival and authentic Porto character.

21. Day 21

    Decin

    Arrive 07:00

    Czech Republic

    

    Děčín is a Czech border town where a magnificent Baroque castle overlooks the Elbe's crossing point and the gateway to Bohemian Switzerland's sandstone wonderland, including Europe's largest natural arch at Pravčická Gate. Visit May through October via Viking's Elbe river cruises for castle rose gardens, rock labyrinth hiking, and the atmospheric convergence of German and Bohemian landscapes.

22. Day 22

    At Sea

    

23. Day 23

    Funchal

    Arrive 08:00Depart 22:00

    Portugal

    

    Funchal — Madeira's radiant capital, its name derived from the wild fennel that greeted Portuguese settlers in 1419 — cascades down volcanic hillsides to a deep-water harbour that has welcomed mariners and wanderers for six centuries. The Reid's Palace, opened in 1891, remains one of the Atlantic's most legendary hotels, its clifftop terraces commanding views that inspired Churchill, Shaw, and a century of distinguished guests. The city's floating flower market, levada walks through ancient laurisilva forest, and the exhilarating toboggan descent from Monte combine for days of effortless discovery. The subtropical climate makes Funchal appealing year-round, with spring particularly spectacular for wildflowers.

24. Day 24

    Porto Santo

    Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00

    Portugal

    

    Porto Santo, Portugal is a distinctive port city where deep cultural heritage meets authentic local atmosphere, featured on itineraries by Ponant. Must-do experiences include walking the historic center to experience the layered architectural heritage, and seeking out the regional culinary traditions at a locally favored establishment away from the port area. The optimal time to visit is April through October, when warm weather and extended daylight create ideal conditions.

    Miami, Florida

    Arrive 07:00

    United States

    

    Miami is a city of perpetual reinvention — the Art Deco jewel of South Beach giving way to the street-art murals of Wynwood, the Cuban rhythms of Calle Ocho, and the glass-and-steel towers of a skyline that has redrawn itself every decade since Julia Tuttle convinced Henry Flagler to extend his railroad south in 1896. Must-dos include strolling the pastel-fronted Ocean Drive at dusk and exploring the world-class collections at the Pérez Art Museum Miami overlooking Biscayne Bay. November through April delivers idyllic weather — warm and dry — while summer brings heat, humidity, and hurricane risk. Miami handles cruise departures elegantly, with the Port of Miami a short taxi ride from the best neighbourhoods.
