Oh, the Places You’ll Go!
Cannes, France
Glittering Cannes is the archetypal Mediterranean resort city discovered by wealthy English nobles who came to the sunny south of France to escape their drafty old castles during the dreary British winters. Cannes’ high flying lifestyle has attracted notables and the notorious ever since. Every year, the stars flock to celebrate the Cannes Film Festival at the colossal Palais des Festivals.
Portofino, Italy
Portofino, a picturesque fishing village on the Italian Riviera, is known for its pastel-colored houses, luxury boutiques, and seafood restaurants surrounding the charming Piazzetta. Overlooking a harbor lined with superyachts, it offers stunning views. A short walk leads to the historic Church of St. George, perched on the headland, a site of significance for thousands of years.
East Corsica (beach), France
Sail the Mediterranean aboard the Royal Clipper, a stunning 439-foot tall ship inspired by the legendary Preussen. Explore the glamour of Cannes and St. Tropez, the charm of Portofino, and the breathtaking landscapes of Corsica, from its unspoiled beaches to historic old towns. Enjoy world-class service, yacht-style luxury, and the thrill of true sailing on this unforgettable voyage.
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.
Sant’ Amanza – Corsica, France
Sant’Amanza is considered to be one of the most beautiful beaches on the Island of Corsica. Located on it’s southern most tip, it is surrounded by limestone cliffs, granite rocks and scrub, with sands lapped by crystal clear azure waters. It is a popular location for water sports including kite surfing.
Bonifacio – Corsica, France
Bonifacio’s almost land-locked harbor is one of the most dramatic, totally protected harbors. 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.
Ajaccio – Corsica, France
Ajaccio has a justified reputation as a very stylish city. Napoleon Bonaparte was born here in 1769, and as you would expect the city has many sites relating to him, from his childhood home to seafront statues, museums and street names. It provides a whole range of outdoor activities which you can enjoy by yourself or with professionals.
St. Tropez, France
It is said that the most spectacular way to approach the exquisite harbour of St. Tropez is by sea. St. Tropez is a people-watcher’s paradise, so you will also want to explore her famous beaches, bistros and bars. The appropriately named Tahiti Plage is where topless sun tanning started, and whether you prefer to take it off or take it all in, there’s always plenty to see in St. Tropez.
