Italy, Montenegro and Croatia with Royal Clipper

San Pietro, with its amazing Sistine Chapel, recently restored to its former glory; Piazza di Spagna, where all of Rome passes; the Colosseum, where gladiators fought to the death, and the Pantheon, considered the most perfect architectural monument of all centuries.
Boarding, dinner on board.

Day dedicated to visiting Ponza and Palmarola.
The pastel-colored houses of the town of Ponza rise in rows from the busy harbor, where elegantly manicured yachts and ramshackle fishing boats dock. Fortunately there are still few tourists, so it is a pleasure to stroll around the unspoiled city.
Palmarola is a snorkeling paradise that is part of the Pontine Islands archipelago, located off the coast between Rome and Naples. A steep landscape with pink coral beaches and emerald coves so inviting that it is impossible to forget your swimsuit and fins. Absolutely unique, isolated and surprising.

After sailing, I arrive in Sorrento.
Sorrento is a coastal town on the Sorrento Peninsula facing the Bay of Naples, in the south-western part of Italy. Built on the cliff that separates it from its crowded marina, Sorrento is famous for its view of the sea and piazza Tasso, dotted with cafes.

After breakfast, day dedicated to visiting the city of Taormina.
Taormina is a hill town on the east coast of Sicily. It is located near Mount Etna, an active volcano with paths that reach the top. The city is known for the Ancient Theater of Taormina, an ancient Greek-Roman theater still in operation today. Near the theater, the cliffs that descend to the sea form inlets with sandy beaches.

Relaxing day on board or you can participate in the entertainment activities organized on board.

It is a very green island even in summer, full of vegetation and an always mild climate. Among its natural beauties you can include beaches with fine sand and pebble bays, inlets, cliffs and a sea that is always clear and crystalline.
In its villages, especially in Corfu town, traces of the Venetian, French and English past are clearly visible, which give the place a special atmosphere. Do not miss the Old Fortress, the New Fortress, the palace of San Michele and San Giorgio. The church of Agios Spyridon, the palace of Mon Repos and the historic center of Corfu '.

The bay is made up of numerous inlets that open into the limestone mass of the Dinaric Alps. The bay has enchanted many visitors, some of whom have immortalized it with their art, from Illyrian queens to romantic poets. Lord Byron asserted that the whole of Montenegro was rich in 'pearls of nature', and Shakespeare himself had words of praise for this 'Illyrian coast', which he never visited. Beautiful villages built in stone overlook the bay and Kotor itself has entered the list of sites declared World Heritage by UNESCO. Kotor, with its medieval walls and lively nightlife, is the main attraction for many travelers, but all corners of the bay offer reasons of interest to lovers of history, art and architecture and lovers of culture, and activities in do not end up to those who want to dedicate themselves to outdoor life.

George Bernard Shaw wrote that "those who seek heaven on earth should come to Dubrovnik". Dubrovnik is truly a magnificent city, especially for its extraordinary renovation. Crowned by the Minceta Tower, the 10th century city walls are a proud symbol of Dubrovnik's colorful history.

The island of Vis is a pearl among the islands of the Croatian Adriatic, which has remained untouched by the development of tourism for so many years - thanks to its strategic position in the open sea, it has been a military zone for many years. Since Croatia's independence, the island has slowly begun to open up to the outside world, offering its unique traditions, history, cultural heritage and natural beauty to the outside world, and is slowly becoming one of the most popular tourist destinations in Croatia . During the long and turbulent history of the island of Vis, many of its inhabitants left the island in search of a better life, mainly across the ocean to the Americas and Australia, taking with them their knowledge and skills and helping the development of these emerging countries. Today, this trend has changed and many foreigners come to the island of Vis, never to leave it again, making this beautiful Croatian island their home.

Krk is the largest island in Croatia: with a ten-year tourism industry, it boasts excellent infrastructure and beaches.
For the quality of services and cleanliness of the waters, the beaches of Krk have earned the Blue Flag. The main villages are located on the south of the island, which has a milder climate and more luxuriant vegetation; the north is mostly rocky and, especially in winter, very windy.

The island of Cres (also known as Cherso) is a long and narrow strip of land, sparsely populated, with an evocative landscape made up of primeval forests, ancient villages perched on the hills and a rugged coastline with high promontories and hidden coves. The villages are really nice to visit and here on the island you can still see traces of the Venetian domination, such as the lion of St. Mark on the fifteenth-century walls of the town of Osor and the coats of arms of the Venetian families in the streets of Cres. If you want to immerse yourself in nature, spend some time in the southern part of the island, known as Tramuntana, covered with forests of oak, chestnut and hornbeam. With a little luck you might see the mythical griffin fly, a magnificent bird that is a symbol of Croatia.

After breakfast, disembark. End of the cruise.
