We depart from the beautiful Portuguese capital for a delightful springtime voyage through the Med. Our first stop is Portimao, with its stunning stretches of sand, before we arrive in C�diz, Spain's 3,000-year-old Phoenician-founded city, followed by the bustling coastal town of Motril. Settle into life on board with a peaceful day at sea, which brings us to Valencia, the birthplace of paella, and picturesque Mah�n on the island of Menorca, with its historic cobbled center. A quick stop in France gives us the chance to explore Ajaccio in Corsica, Napoleon's birthplace. Then we cross over to Italy, where we call at Porto Venere, the underrated seaside gem and honorary sixth village of the Cinque Terre, and Livorno, gateway to Florence's cultural riches and the vineyards of Chianti. Civitavecchia, from where you can explore the wonders of Rome, is our final stop.
