What you'll be doing
Day One: Arrival Day - Depart Palma, Majorca 22:00
- All Inclusive
Day Two: Mahon, Menorca 11:00-18:00
We can explore the island's country tracks, flowery meadows and oak forests on horseback. It's a great way to get off the beaten track and take in Menorca's standout scenery.
We'll head to Menorca's old capital, Ciutadella, where we'll find hidden plazas and centuries-old churches. There's a stylish waterfront these days, too.
- All Inclusive
Day Three: At Sea
As we sail towards our next port of call, Naples, we can explore or relax on this lovely ship.
- All Inclusive
Day Four: Naples (for Pompeii & Capri), Italy 07:00 - 17:00
Naples is Italy's most red-blooded city. This is a place where the pizza is so good that people don’t wait for a table in a restaurant – they order it to take away from street-side windows. And it's the city where the soundtrack is the beeping of moped horns. For all its joie de vivre, we wouldn't know Naples is actually one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. The city centre is actually a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it's dripping with ancient architecture, cathedrals and churches.
We'll visit the time-frozen cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, whose citizens were stopped in their tracks by the famous eruptions of 79 AD. We can teeter on the brink of Mount Vesuvius, the only active volcano we can climb in Europe.
We'll visit Spaccanapoli – a lively street that runs through the heart of Naples. It's dotted with Baroque churches and street food places.
- All Inclusive
Day Five: Civitavecchia (for Rome), Italy 07:00 - 19:00
Few cities on earth have the power to bowl us over quite like Rome. Around what feels like every corner, we'll find historical monuments, charming piazzas and authentic Italian restaurants – not to mention enough designer shops to keep us browsing for a year. The Spanish Steps, the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain are just a few of Rome’s highlights – the historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We'll throw a coin into one of Rome's most famous landmarks – the Trevi Fountain. Legend has it, it means we'll return to the city one day.
We'll relive the days of the gladiators at the eye-popping Colosseum. Big enough to hold 50,000 spectators, it has stood the test of time and remains one of Rome’s most famous landmarks.
We'll head for Vatican City, the heart of the Catholic Church, feasting our eyes on treasures like St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, where Michelangelo's ceiling masterpiece awaits us.
- All Inclusive
Day Six: Ajaccio, Corsica 09:00 - 15:00
With its rugged peaks, emerald countryside and sparkling blue waters, Corsica looks like it belongs on a postcard. Rising up from one of the most beautiful gulfs in the world is Ajaccio, a town oozing charm. An impressive place in its own right, it's also our gateway to the unspoilt scenery and sleepy little towns that this sun-soaked isle is famous for. One word of advice – we'll want plenty of spare batteries for our cameras.
We'll get back to nature in the countryside that surrounds the city. Taking a coach and train trip, we can explore the maquis – the rich green hillside that's unique to Corsica.
For something a bit different, we'll head for Cupulatta Park – Europe's only tortoise protection centre. From babies measuring just a few centimetres to wizened, decades-old grandfathers, we'll find them all here.
We'll check out the statue of Napoleon Bonaparte – Ajaccio's most famous son – at the tree-lined Place Maréchal-Foch, or visit his former childhood home, which is now a museum.
- All Inclusive
Day Seven: Palamos, Spain 10:00 - 17:00
Fringed by a ribbon of sun-kissed sand on the Costa Brava, Palamos began as a tiny fishing village. The harbour still buzzes each afternoon as the day's catch goes on sale, with prawns among the best in the Med. We can kick back on the beach, or head off to explore the coastline and nearby villages.
We'll wander through the old quarter's narrow streets, then head to the harbour to visit the Fishing Museum for a glimpse into Palamos' maritime heritage.
Nearby seafront towns like Tossa de Mar and Lloret are full of lively promenades, long beaches, medieval walls and even clifftop gardens.
We'll discover Girona, a beautifully preserved medieval city known for its colourful riverside houses, historic streets and rich cultural heritage.
- All Inclusive
Day Eight: Palma, Majorca - 04:00 Arrival
After a final breakfast, we'll depart Marella Voyager to make our way to the airport for our flight home, taking many lovely memories with us.
