Itinerary

Welcome to Rome, the ‘Eternal City', where ancient monuments and elaborate churches stand alongside busy cafes and designer boutiques. Scenic Ikon, your first-in-its-class next-generation Discovery Yacht, awaits you at Civitavecchia — an historic Roman port dating back to the 2nd century.

Upon arrival, you'll be warmly welcomed on board by the Captain and crew. Meet your personal butler and settle into your spacious suite before heading out on deck to toast the beginning of your Signature Yacht Cruise as you sail away from this ancient harbour. (D)

Ponza is home to a captivating historic centre, with narrow streets, vibrant buildings and a lively atmosphere. Renowned for its seafood dishes and natural beauty, the island is a paradise for food lovers and beachgoers alike, boasting stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters that make it a true Mediterranean gem. (B/L/D)

This morning, you'll arrive in Porto Cervo, the dazzling gem at the heart of the spectacular Costa Smeralda. Built as a millionaire's playground by Prince Aga Khan in the 1960s, Porto Cervo exudes luxury — from high-end boutiques and stylish restaurants to glamorous nightclubs, world-class golf courses, tennis clubs, and hotels. (B/L/D)

Arriving in Bonifacio is an unforgettable experience — the town appears perched atop soaring limestone cliffs, offering breathtaking views over the Mediterranean. Step ashore to explore the atmospheric old town, where its winding lanes, historic buildings, and relaxed Corsican charm await.

With another late departure here, you'll have ample time to enjoy the panoramic vistas from the ancient citadel or stroll along the picturesque marina. Bonifacio promises a delightful blend of history, culture, and coastal beauty. (B/L/D)

Nestled on the scenic Monte Argentario peninsula in Tuscany, Porto Santo Stefano is a charming seaside town with a picturesque harbour and vibrant atmosphere. Known for its historic Spanish Fortress, Porto Santo Stefano invites you to wander through winding lanes lined with pastel-coloured houses or simply relax while taking in sweeping views of the Tyrrhenian Sea. (B/L/D)

One of Elba Island's oldest towns, Portoferraio traces its origins to the ancient Greeks, though much of the modern town was built by the Medici in the 1500s. Brimming with Tuscan charm, it's a favourite for both beach-lovers and history buffs. Take a dip at Spiaggia di Capo Bianco, a northern beach scattered with small white pebbles and fronting impossibly clear water. Wander the historic streets to explore Palazzina dei Mulini, one of Napoleon's official residences during his exile here, the impressive Archaeological Museum, and the ruins of the Roman Villa della Linguella.

Relax with another late night in port and toast the sunset with a glass of Aleatico, a sweet red dessert wine and local delicacy. (B/L/D)

Calvi, on the French island of Corsica, boasts a rich and storied history. Founded in the 13th century, its fiery medieval citadel still stands above red tiled roofs. A magnet for visitors since the 1920s, Calvi's moon-shaped bay features golden, sandy beaches framed by forested mountains on the horizon.

Today, Calvi has the feel of a chic resort on the French Riviera, with waterfront restaurants, luxury hotels, and multi-million-dollar yachts bobbing in the harbour. Stroll the alleys of the historic old town, walk the ramparts of the citadel, and visit the house said to be the birthplace of Christopher Columbus. (B/L/D)

Enjoy a relaxing day at sea on board your ultra-luxurious next-generation Discovery Yacht, where you can unwind on the deck, bask in the sun, and take in sweeping ocean views while enjoying the exceptional amenities on board.

This evening, indulge in a world-class dining experience on board, with every detail thoughtfully considered and every dish a moment to savour. (B/L/D)

Known for its British-style Georgian houses and medieval streets lined with palaces, churches and fortresses, Mahón is truly Vella i Bella — ‘Old and Beautiful'. As the capital of the laid-back Menorca, life here moves to the rhythm of the gentle waves that lap its shores. Wander through the historic old town, where every corner whispers of the island's rich past. With its charismatic centre and unhurried pace, Mahón offers a quiet charm that's all its own. (B/L/D)

Whilst Ibiza is famed for its thriving party scene, there's far more to this island than meets the eye. Beyond the buzz, you'll find pristine beaches, lush nature reserves, ancient archaeological sites, and small villages seemingly untouched by time. Inland, limestone hills and lush pine forests shelter artisan producers crafting one-of-a-kind local delights.

Known for its breathtaking evenings, Ibiza invites you to linger. With a late departure, sip on a cocktail at a waterfront bar and watch the sky turn a blaze of orange and red. (B/L/D)

Palma, a popular resort city and capital of the Spanish island of Mallorca, is where history comes alive. Shaped by Romans, Moors and Catholics since 123 BC, the city's rich heritage unfolds across centuries. Wander the narrow, cobbled lanes of Palma's Casco Antiguo (Old Town), where elegant archways, grand historic palacios, medieval churches and picturesque plazas transport you to another time. From the soaring Santa Maria Cathedral to La Almudaina — a Moorish-style Arab fortress converted into a royal residence — and the unique circular Bellver Castle, Palma reveals a new layer of history at every corner. (B/L/D)

Your Signature Yacht Cruise finishes this morning in the vibrant city of Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia. Renowned for its eclectic architecture, culinary delights, thriving art scene and lively nightlife, Barcelona offers a feast for the senses.

After enjoying breakfast on board, disembark and bid farewell your fellow guests and crew, carrying with you memories of a truly unforgettable voyage.
