This 7-night Mediterranean voyage begins in Athens, Greece and docks the following day in mystical Mykonos. From there spend a day sailing to picturesque Catania, an ancient city on the Ionian Sea that radiates Sicilian vibes through and through. From there you’ll sail to the Amalfi Coast (Salerno) followed by Rome (Civitavecchia). Enjoy one last day sailing before arriving at your final destination of Barcelona, Spain.
Your voyage begins in the vibrant heart of Greece!
An intersection of the past and present, Athens is Europe’s action packed, oldest capital, considered to many as an archaeological theme park. In the port of Piraeus you’ll find its entryway lined with visitors eager to be catapulted into one of the most exciting spectacles on the planet.
Cycadean myths to beachside beats. Beach umbrellas peppering an eternal coastline, a pelican population just as teeming as its local fishermen and copious shades of blue in all directions, Mykonos just has that – je ne sais quoi.
Ahoy, sailors! Waking up on the Scarlet Lady for a full day at sea is truly something special. With no port calls today, the ship is buzzing with energy, and every corner offers a new adventure. I'm thinking of starting my day with a leisurely brunch at The Wake, indulging in some delicious pastries and a mimosa while gazing out at the endless ocean. Later, I might head to the Redemption Spa for some much-needed relaxation in the thermal suite, or perhaps find a quiet nook by the Aquatic Club pool to soak up the sun and lose myself in a good book.
From churches and castles to ancient Roman amphitheaters, Catania is home to some of Sicily’s most stunning architecture.
Catania, an ancient port city on Sicily’s east coast, is steeped in cultural and architectural charm, from the colorful piazzas to Roman ruins and ornate cathedrals.
Discover ancient architectural wonders.
Today we arrive on stunning Amalfi Coast via the vibrant port of Salerno. From here, the dramatic cliffs, picturesque towns, and sparkling turquoise waters of this UNESCO World Heritage site are yours to explore. Wander through the charming streets of Positano, Ravello, or Amalfi, marvel at breathtaking vistas, and indulge in the region's renowned limoncello and fresh seafood. The Amalfi Coast promises a perfect blend of natural beauty, rich history, and delectable cuisine, creating an unforgettable Mediterranean experience.
With an incomparable history of countless empires and kingdoms, Civitavecchia is the entryway to the Eternal’s city's most beloved sights and landmarks – from the Colosseum to Vatican City and everything in between.
There are fewer cities in the world more well known than Rome, after all it’s known as the Eternal City because even the ancient Romans believed that no matter what happened in the rest of the world Rome would always stand tall – and, believe it or not, this was all before it was trending on TikTok.
The beauty of a sea day is having endless options right at your fingertips! If you're feeling active, the Gym and Athletic Club are calling for a workout, or you could challenge some new friends to a game of shuffleboard at The Social Club. And for all you foodies out there, the Scarlet Lady's incredible dining scene is in full swing. Maybe it's time to try that unique dish at Razzle Dazzle or grab a casual bite from one of the many delicious stalls at The Galley. No matter what you choose, today is all about enjoying the incredible vibes and amenities right here on our beautiful ship. What's on your agenda for this perfect sea day?
Today we disembark in Barcelona. With its laid-back attitude, fresh-from-the-sea cuisine, and thriving art scene, Barcelona is the envy of every other Mediterranean city. No other stop on the Mediterranean oozes culture like Barcelona. Thanks to the famous Antoni Gaudí’s avant-garde architecture and influence, Barcelona boasts nine UNESCO World Heritage sites for visitors to marvel at. The Catalonian capital attracts bohemians, nomads and separatists seeking independence.
It is a must-stay in this wonderful city for at least a night to explore some of its famous landmarks!
