Are you ready for the ultimate Mediterranean adventure? Imagine yourself cruising along the French and Italian coasts, exploring iconic cities, and indulging in unique cultural experiences, all while being pampered aboard a luxurious small ship. This journey is more than just a vacation—it's an unforgettable escape to the Mediterranean's most breathtaking destinations.

The Journey Begins: Barcelona & Beyond

Kick off your adventure with two fabulous days in vibrant Barcelona. Get lost in the charm of this dynamic city, where history meets modern flair. Discover the famous Bouqueria Market, bustling with fresh juices, olives, seafood, and more. Your culinary exploration doesn't stop there—join a hands-on cooking class to master local dishes and flavors.

From Barcelona, set sail along the dazzling Côte d’Azur. Imagine shopping in glamorous Monte Carlo, strolling through Italy’s legendary cities, and wandering the enchanting medieval streets of Kotor and Sibenik. End your cruise in the charming port town of Chioggia, where Venice beckons just around the corner.

Hidden Gems & Unforgettable Experiences

This journey is all about discovering the unique and special. In Venice, skip the typical tourist routes and dive into local culture on a Bacari tour, savoring food and wine as the Venetians do. In Portofino, wander through the quaint fishing village of San Fruttuoso, guided by a local expert. And no Mediterranean adventure would be complete without exploring the Cinque Terre—the cliffside villages of Monterosso, Vernazza, and Manarola await with their colorful houses and stunning sea views.

Step aboard the Azamara Onward, a small ship designed for intimate cruising.
