It will Leave you speechless
Embarking on a Seabourn cruise to Malta and the French Riviera promises an unparalleled blend of luxury, culture, and scenic beauty. Seabourn, renowned for its exceptional service and intimate, all-suite ships, ensures a voyage of sophistication and comfort. Malta, with its rich history and architectural wonders, provides a captivating backdrop for exploration, from the medieval streets of Valletta to the ancient temples of Mdina.
The French Riviera, synonymous with glamour, offers a tapestry of opulent landscapes, from the chic beaches of Nice to the vibrant markets of Provence. Onboard, Seabourn’s commitment to culinary excellence and personalised service elevates the journey, making each moment a celebration.
All the things you need to know
Piraeus has been the port for Athens since 482 BC. The busy harbour is filled with ferries and cruise ships making their way to the Greek Islands and other Mediterranean cities. The busy metropolis of Athens and its treasure trove of antiquities lie just a few miles from the port. Even as the reality of the modern city took hold, with its high-rise apartments, crowded sidewalks and bustling traffic, the beauty of the Acropolis, the outstanding museums, charming cafés, sidewalk markets and startling views come together in a cultural mosaic for all to enjoy.
Although connected to the mainland by a causeway, the great hump of Monemvasia looming from the sea is an island. The medieval city seems to tumble down the sheer rock to the sea, crowned by the Byzantine church of Ayia Sophia nearly 900 feet above. In the Middle Ages, the famous Malmsey wine was made here.
Enjoy everything the ship has to offer
This harbour on the eastern shore of Sicily near Messina gives us close access to the fabulous Greco-Roman ruins of Taormina, as well as the active volcano Mt. Etna. The temples, streets and large amphitheatre of Taormina make it one of Italy’s premier ancient sites. Its location overlooking the sea and with the backdrop of snow-capped Etna complete the package and make it among the most famous attractions in the Mediterranean region. Giardini Naxos itself boasts a lovely beach at Lido Europa, and intrepid visitors can climb Mt. Etna to see a volcano close up.
