Cruise to the Western Mediterranean's most storied isles and cities aboard the elegant, 47-cabin sailing yacht Sea Cloud II. From private tours of ancient sites and Renaissance treasures to exclusive tastings of local wines and culinary delights, every day offers insider access and magical moments to cherish. Arrive in Malta’s capital, Valletta, and embark Sea Cloud II for Italy’s island jewels, Sicily and Sardinia. In Sicily, enjoy an inside look at the well-preserved Greek temple of Segesta, remnants of an ancient Greek colony. Continue to Sardinia, where you’ll join an expert to explore a nuraghe, a Bronze Age sentinel unique to the island, evidence of an advanced civilization here. Then cruise onward to the lush French territory of Corsica followed by the Italian island of Elba. On Corsica, arrive in the dramatic harbor and the cliffside city of Bonifacio, whose steep streets lead us to breathtaking panoramas. We conclude in the Tuscan countryside, where we can wander through Puccini’s hometown of Lucca or opt to venture to Pietrasanta, a fascinating contemporary art destination that Michelangelo once called home.
