Sicily first, the Mediterranean second — because one Italian adventure is never quite enough. This 16-night journey begins with a week discovering the bold flavours, ancient history and dramatic landscapes of Sicily. Starting in vibrant Palermo, you’ll set out to explore the island’s most captivating corners. Wander the honey-coloured lanes of hilltop Erice, sample the island’s famous fortified wine in Marsala, and admire the spectacular Greek ruins at Selinunte and the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento. Marvel at the intricate Roman mosaics of Villa Romana del Casale, soak up the elegance of Taormina, and stand in the shadow of Europe’s most famous volcano, Mount Etna. Along the way you’ll also visit coastal Trapani and the postcard-perfect seaside town of Cefalù.

After the tour, enjoy two nights in Palermo to soak up the city’s lively markets, grand squares and irresistible street food at your own pace — the perfect pause before the next chapter begins. Then it’s time to set sail. Your 7-night Mediterranean cruise departs from Palermo, whisking you to the sun-drenched shores of Ibiza, the stylish boulevards of Valencia, the historic harbour of Marseille, the grand maritime city of Genoa, and the timeless wonders of Rome, before returning full circle to Palermo. Ancient ruins, volcanic landscapes, seaside towns and a Mediterranean cruise to match — Sicily and beyond has rarely looked so tempting.
