Nice lies in one of the world's most lavishly endowed natural landscapes. The sea glows azure and the mountains in the background rise picturesquely up into the sky. Castle Hill gives you a fantastic view over the rambling old town – a labyrinth of alleyways with Baroque churches, pastel-colored houses and red-tiled roofs. The Promenade des Anglais, a sophisticated, five-kilometer-(3 miles)long walkway along the magnificent Baie des Anges and its long beach, lies at the heart of the elegant new town, with its splendid palaces and aristocratic hotels in the Belle-Époque and Art Deco styles.
Arriving in Nice, you are welcomed by a bright stretch of Riviera shoreline, busy harbour life, and hills rising behind the city. From the port, the old town, palm-lined seafront, and broad sweep of the Baie des Anges are all nearby, giving the place an elegant but relaxed Mediterranean feel.

In the harbor of Cannes, Mediterranean ease meets refined glamour: luxury yachts bob in the water, palm trees line the elegant Boulevard de la Croisette, and stretches of fine sandy beach invite you to linger. Between designer boutiques and the city’s legendary festival flair, the unmistakable celebrity ambiance of the French Riviera comes to life.
Arriving in Cannes, you are greeted by a bright Mediterranean shoreline, marinas filled with yachts, and green hills rising behind the bay. From the port, the elegant seafront and old quarter are nearby, offering a mix of Riviera glamour, palm-lined promenades, and relaxed southern French atmosphere.

Although Elba is only a small Tuscan island, you will be surprised by how diverse it is. Imposing cliffs, white sandy beaches, avenues of cypresses, vineyards and olive groves, traditional villages and elegant beach resorts make the place of Napoleon's exile somewhere you would in fact like to be banished for longer. The beautiful old town of Portoferraio with its narrow streets of steps and medieval fortress is set high up on a rocky headland. In the enchanting town of Porto Azzurro, the palm-lined promenades, charming piazzas and small beach are at the center of the town's activities.
Approaching Portoferraio by sea, you are greeted by a deep natural harbour framed by pastel buildings, green hills, and the old fortified town rising above the water. From the port, the historic centre and hilltop fortifications are nearby, while the surrounding coast offers the bright light, rocky shores, and relaxed island atmosphere that make Elba so distinctive.
Arrival 08:00:00
All roads lead to Rome. The stunningly beautiful city on the Tiber is around 70 kilometers (44 miles) from the port of Civitavecchia. The highlights of the "Eternal City" are not limited to the seven hills of antiquity. The historic center and the Vatican State in Rome are both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In the city of Vespas and "la dolce vita", painters, sculptors and architects have left behind innumerable works of art over three millennia. Ancient sites, Renaissance palaces, Baroque squares and fountains create a splendid backdrop for enjoying life in between the daily routine and eternity.
Arriving by sea, you usually come into the working port area on the coast west of Rome, with ferries, quays and a wide Tyrrhenian horizon rather than the historic center at your feet. Nearby, the coast has a busy Mediterranean feel, while inland you can head toward Rome’s world-famous monuments, piazzas and ancient ruins.

Frequently asked questions about tall ship cruises and sailing ships
Many leisure and introductory voyages accept guests without sailing experience. Training and expedition voyages may require active participation, minimum ages or a particular level of mobility. Check the operator's conditions for the exact voyage before booking.
Start with the operator's joining instructions because space, dress rules and required equipment vary by ship. Soft luggage, layered clothing, a waterproof outer layer, sun protection and operator-approved non-slip footwear are common recommendations. Ask a medical professional about suitable seasickness precautions if needed.

Choosing a tall ship cruise is more than just booking a vacation; it is an invitation to experience the timeless romance of the sea. Unlike modern, crowded cruise liners, a traditional sailing vessel offers an intimate atmosphere where the sound of the wind in the canvas replaces the hum of engines. Taking part in such a unique voyage allows you to connect with maritime heritage while enjoying the comforts of a modern leisure cruise. Whether it’s the thrill of seeing the horizon from a wooden deck, the spectacular sight of a full press of sail, or the chance to visit hidden coastal gems inaccessible to larger ships, a tall ship voyage offers a sense of freedom that is simply unmatched. It is the perfect choice for travelers seeking authenticity, tranquility, and a truly luxury sailing experience that stays with them long after they return to shore.
