Featured Journey

Tuscany and the Tall Ship

Five-masted schooner Royal Clipper
The majestic five-masted schooner, Royal Clipper

A tall ship cruise in the Mediterranean along the Amalfi Coast and Sicily, aboard the majestic Royal Clipper!

Combine the best sailing in the Mediterranean with stopovers at the most revered, romantic and renowned sites in the ancient and modern world.

Begin in Civitavecchia, Rome's port, and set sail to explore tiny, fascinating harbors brimming with character. Drop anchor in Ponza, Sorrento and Capri. Visit Pompeii; climb the narrow streets of Lipari, on the Aeolian Islands; and shop along the steep cobblestoned streets in Taormina, clinging to the cliffs high above the coast of eastern Sicily.

Join us on an optional four-night, five-day stay in Siena at the five-star deluxe Grand Continental Hotel. The heart of Tuscany offers us the combination of relaxation and adventure. Siena is an ideal base for visiting small villages of sun-drenched Tuscany. View incredible works of art, stroll through village markets, delight in lunch and wine tasting at distinguished villas, and dine on Tuscan cuisine in the evening.
