Welcome to Nice, one of the most celebrated ports on the Côte d'Azur in France. A popular tourist destination since the 1700s, this vibrant city offers an intriguing blend of French and Italian cultures, thanks to its proximity to Italy.

In the evening, arrive for an overnight in Monaco in style, unwind with a drink, and enjoy the stunning views from your private verandah or the open deck.

Set on a peninsula along the Tyrrhenian Sea, Gaeta is an understated coastal town known for its natural beauty and historic charm. Its picturesque old town cascades towards the water, revealing narrow medieval streets, golden sandy beaches, and clear blue seas. Long favoured by Italians as a seaside retreat, Gaeta remains refreshingly low-key. The town is also celebrated for its cuisine, with inviting trattorias and restaurants tucked throughout the atmospheric historic centre.

Perched on cliffs overlooking the Bay of Naples, Sorrento is a town of natural beauty and relaxed elegance. Surrounded by lemon and orange groves and known as the birthplace of limoncello liqueur, it offers a distinctly local character.

The World Heritage-listed Aeolian Islands are seven volcanic outcrops set off the north coast of Sicily with a rich history dating back to 5000BC. As you sail into the islands, look out for the dramatic rock formations that rise majestically from the water. Lipari is the largest and most populated of the islands, known for its pebbled beaches, hiking trails and historic harbour. From its panoramic position, a castle overlooks the seafront of pastel-coloured townhouses, with windswept highlands and steep cliffs in the distance.

Taormina has captivated visitors since the 18th-century as one of Sicily's most beloved destinations. Dominated by Mount Etna, Europe's largest active volcano, this elegant town perches above the Ionian Sea with a rich artistic, historical, and cultural heritage. Discover its stunning ancient theatre, charming piazzas, and local specialities including arancini — Sicily's famous rice balls. With Scenic Eclipse remaining in port until late this evening, you'll have ample time to explore at your leisure.

This morning, sail into the spectacular harbour of Valletta for an overnight call, the fortified capital of Malta and one of the most impressive natural harbours in the world. Founded by the Knights of St. John in the 1500s, this World Heritage–listed city is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture, grand bastions, and golden limestone buildings that glow in the sunlight. Valletta may be small, but it's rich in treasures — ornate churches, grand palaces, charming piazzas, and narrow streets opening to sweeping sea views.
