An overnight passage from Barcelona to Port de Sóller, Mallorca, including a night at sea.

A 300nm crossing from Catania, including two nights at sea over the open Ionian, before making landfall on Corfu — a lush, green island ringed with dramatic limestone cliffs and turquoise coves, its old town a maze of pastel Venetian streets beneath a fortress on the water.

A 600nm passage west from Zakynthos, threading through the Straits of Messina — the narrow, fast-flowing channel between Sicily and mainland Italy — with time ashore in Palermo along the way: a city layered with Norman, Arab and Byzantine history, its golden mosaic-covered Cappella Palatina and the grand Quattro Canti crossroads sitting a few streets back from the noise and colour of the Ballarò street market, all beneath the backdrop of Monte Pellegrino. Disembark at Cagliari — served by Cagliari Elmas Airport (CAG). Final passage of the 2027 season.
