Cultures of the Mediterranean Barcelona to Civitavecchia

Embark on an unforgettable 12-day journey across the Western Mediterranean, beginning in the vibrant city of Barcelona and tracing a path through sun-kissed Spanish islands, the cultural mosaic of North Africa, and the timeless beauty of the Italian coast. From the Gothic grandeur of Palma de Mallorca and the natural serenity of Menorca to the historic medinas of Tunis and the ancient ruins of Sicily, each stop reveals a new layer of history, flavour, and charm. Discover the compact capital of Malta and Italy’s most iconic coastal gems (including Taormina, Sorrento, and the thermal haven of Ischia) before concluding in Civitavecchia, gateway to Rome. With a relaxing day at sea on the itinerary, you’ll get to make the most of the indulgent features on board your luxury Emerald Cruises yacht.

Bespoke Rome extension

Continue on to the heart of Rome for a three-night stay. Spend your first evening strolling the cobblestone streets at leisure before embarking on a private golf cart tour through the Eternal City’s most famous landmarks with the stories of Rome brought to life by your guide. Delve deeper into the city’s ancient past with a guided walking tour of the Colosseum (including exclusive arena floor access) and the Roman Forum or Palatine Hill. In the evening, descend beneath the streets to explore the preserved ruins of ancient thermal baths before enjoying a candlelit four-course dinner paired with exceptional wines in this atmospheric setting. On your final day, enjoy time at leisure before a private transfer to the airport for our journey home.
