Springtime Discovery of the Mediterranean Islands
Corsica, Elba, Sardinia, Sicily & Malta aboard M.S. Andrea |
| 10 Days / 9 Nights • April 26 - May 5, 2007 |
 |
Exploring the Mediterranean islands of France and Italy by small cruise ship opens up a whole new world of cultural and scenic beauty for the seasoned traveler. The residents of Corsica, Elba Island, Sardinia and Sicily all flaunt a certain independence from their mainland counterparts, and this can be further felt and examined in their architecture, cuisine, dialects and customs.
Offered during a delightful time of the year, when flowers are blossoming everywhere, this spring cruise pauses at smaller ports not typically visited by larger cruise ships. While some are popular with vacationing Europeans, others—such as the Egadi Islands—are isolated, hidden gems only accessible aboard a smaller vessel like the Andrea. The natural beauty of coastal mountains, beaches and wooded groves is balanced with striking architecture that is reflective of Greek, Roman, Moorish and medieval Christian influences. You will have the opportunity to experience these places as true “melting pots,” where thousands of years of history have molded each locality into a unique place that defies generalization.
Begin your cruise in the vibrant French port town of Toulon. During the ten day cruise we visit two towns on Corsica; the island of Elba, two towns on Sardinia; and five ports and satellite isles of Sicily, including Agrigento, one of the best preserved archaeological sites of the Greek Era.
“Springtime Discovery” concludes with visits to two ports of the Maltese Archipelago: the sunny island of Gozo and the fortress city of Valletta, built by the Knights of St. John in the 16th century.
