A Mediterranean Grand Voyage "Smooth Sailing, Movies & Fast Cars"
7 Night Cruise Option - Cannes to Rome
I am very pleased to be offering this opportunity to cruise the Mediterranean with destinations from Athens, Greece to the home port of Rome, Italy.
This magnificent opportunity is for 7 nights cruise from Cannes to Rome, with add-on options in both Cannes/Monaco to start and Rome before heading home.. Along the way you'll be entertained and pampered with the sights, and the "sounds" of our journey. We'll have the opportunities to listen to the waves that gentle roll up onto a nice secluded beach, the sounds of local conversations as we stroll through picturesque villages, fantastic shops and the sounds of the "fast cars" during a premier race that is world renown, the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix, a highlight of the Formula 1 season held on the Circuit de Monaco. And for those who enjoy the movies, an opportunity to attend the the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.
All of above and way more!
The 7 Night "Cruise Itinerary"
Another "Nice" this itinerary! You'll fly into "Nice" France, and if you like, you can plan to add-on time to view the full Cannes Film Festival, or in time to catch ALL the Monaco Grand Prix! From there we'll sail away and visit 9 different destinations on our way to Rome. I say relax and enjoy or if you like to burn off some energy you can always join me in climbing the mast, spend the day in the water or waking the streets before we enjoy a little dancing in the evenings! The stops along the way are very scenic and I have plans to keep you entertained, bring a smile and race jersey!

"MONACO, MONACO"
​
Monaco is the fabled domain of princes and movie stars. The magnificent Palais du Prince and opulent casinos remind you of an elegant, pre-war era. With more wealth concentrated in one small area than almost any place on earth, this tiny principality retains its gilt edged allure. However, what it's really done is caught the eye of the racing world back in 1929 and you can join me to see the 95th running f the Monaco Grand Prix! Life is good, and not sure if it can get any better then this "Cruise Itinerary" if you are a Formula 1 race fan and love sailing the Mediterranean Sea.
​
It was in the Villa Magni near Lerici that Percy Bysshe Shelley spent his last happy days before sailing his small boat on its stormy fatal voyage on July 8, 1822. Lord Byron, another Lerici literary resident, once swam across what is now called the 'Golfo dei Poeti.' The small fishing villages of San Terenzo, Tellaro and Fiascherino and Montemarcello are similar to the more famous Cinque Terre.
​
From his villa in Portoferraio, Napoleon, the exiled Emperor of France, looked out over the waiting ships in the harbour and dreamed of returning to glory. Enjoy a local vineyard tour, and near Portoferraio, discover the remains of an ancient Etruscan civilisation.
"EAST CORSICA (BEACH), FRANCE"
​
One of the most beautiful beaches in Corsica. The water is crystal clear, calm and warm, but the main attraction of the beach is that it is never crowded.
" BASTIA (OLD TOWN), CORSICA - FRANCE"
​
It's amazing in this day and age to find a Mediterranean city that looks like it stepped right out of the travel diary of a 19th century Grand Tour. Bastia's gracious Italianate buildings were created to house the administrative offices of the capital of Haute Corse..
" BONIFACIO, CORSICA - FRANCE"
​
Bonifacio's almost land-locked harbour is one of the most dramatic, totally protected harbours. It is a bustling port with excellent seafood restaurants, and a modern marina. The ancient citadel town is perched high atop a seemingly impenetrable cliff.
" BONIFACIO, CORSICA - FRANCE"
​
Porto Cervo in the heart of Costa Smeralda is a luxury destination that plays host to many celebrities and VIPs throughout the peak summer season. There are plenty of fine restaurants and luxury boutiques and the village has been described as utopian with architectural influences from Greece, North Africa, Spain and Italy. All surrounded by spectacular coastal scenery.
This "Grand Voyage" is a "combination" of two cruises that works great to get the most for our longer flight, a savings over two cruises, and being able to add on extra time in Athens and Rome. However, if the length of time doesn't work for your schedule I have options for just first 11 Nights of the cruise, or the second 7 Nights For more on the two "Cruise Legs" click the buttons below, or contact Rod Hunt - Paradise-Bound.net
