A beauty with character: the many facets of Corsica Nature’s treasure chest Chalk-white limestone cliffs. The old Genoese watchtowers of Cap Corse. Twisting Balagne villages perched like eagles’ nests on green hills. The tangle of sheltered islands and reefs of the Îles Lavezzi. On Corsica, the competition for the most breathtaking natural landscape can only end in a draw – the island simply has too many spectacular sights.

“Corsica's mix of cultu-
res, from steep cliffs to
picturesque coastlines,
simply enchants me –
just like it did Napoleon
before.”
Sabrina Sylvester
Editor & Globetrotter
Picturesque coasts,
charming harbors
Wild or gentle, pristine or metropolitan?
Corsica consistently refuses to be pigeon-
holed. The best example of the island’s
idiosyncratic diversity are its port cities,
which are full of character. Here, lively
Bastia – there, picturesque Calvi. And
whereas, in the fortified town of Bonifacio,
you wander through narrow alleys, you
stroll along elegant boulevards in Ajaccio.
Sailing like God in France: The savoir-vivre of the sunny south Sophisticated lifestyle, artistic flair The gentle climate, magical light and proximity to the sea have always attracted those who appreciate beauty and a refined way of life. Noblemen, painters and writers discovered the magic of Southern France early on – and left behind an abundance of enchanting gardens, majestic castles and charming artists' villages all along the sunny coast.

“The Mediterranean
is where everything
began that makes up
our culture. Sailing in
the Mediterranean is like
coming home.”
Dr. Wolfgang Lechner
Journalist & Lecturer
A coast for
real connoisseurs
The South of France is the home of
great culinary delights: Sète is justifiably
proud of its oysters, Marseille once
invented the bouillabaisse; and the hills
inland hide excellent wineries. On board
also, you can feast delightfully: Inspired
by regional ingredients and recipes, the
chef of the S ea C loud ii creates
delicious dishes and puts a piece of
France on the table.

Day 3 Bastia/Corsica 08.00 18.00
Napoleon Bonaparte once said that he could recognize his
home island by its smell with his eyes closed. The lively
baroque and cultural city of Bastia* exudes a distinct
Mediterranean flair. And the surrounding area in the north
can be marvelously explored by e-bike.*
Day 4 Bonifacio/Corsica 13.30 23.00
Already the approach to Bonifacio is a spectacular experi-
ence: a shimmering white, steep chalk cliff, a small town
that seems to float sublimely on the plateau. If you wish,
you can visit the medieval upper town*. A boat tour* around
the cliffs and grottoes off Bonifacio takes you to the Lavezzi
Islands off the coast.
Day 5 Ajaccio/Corsica 08.00 18.00
The majestic-looking town of Ajaccio is located on a beau-
tiful bay in the south of the island. The Mediterranean flair
is similar to that of the Côte d’Azur, but still has a typical
Corsican character. You can follow in Napoleon's footsteps
on a tour of the town*. Nature lovers will get their money's
worth on a kayak tour* with a visit to the beach.
Day 6 L’Île-Rousse/Corsica 08.00 18.00
In the east, protected by Corsica’s highest mountains,
a lush green, wild garden with olive groves and orange
trees has evolved around Calvi. Hidden in the hinterland of
Balagne*, picturesque villages evoke traditional Corsica.
The fortified town of Calvi* enchants with its charm and
joie de vivre.

With its colorful facades, canals and bridges, the port city,

“Venice of Languedoc”. A little to the north lies Montpellier*,
considered one of the most livable cities in France and de-
finitely worth a visit.
Day 4 Marseille/France 08.00 18.00
The country’s most important port, Marseille sits like a huge
amphitheater on the Golfe du Lion. After a city tour*, you will
surely succumb to its charm. Marseille is also the perfect
starting point for excursions to Aix-en-Provence* or to the
bays of the Calanques of Cassis*.
Day 5 At sea
Day 6 Menton/France 08.00 13.30
Menton and lemons, they simply belong together. The mild
climate, the sea location, its protection by the adjacent
Alps, and 300 days of sunshine a year make this garden
city quite unique. When you visit the botanical garden “Val
Rahmeh”,* you will understand why Menton has fascinated
even English garden planners.
Day 7 Cannes/France 08.00 18.00
Glamorous Cannes, known worldwide for its film festival, is
the ideal starting point for an excursion to nearby Antibes*.
The beautiful old town with its winding streets and the
largest marina in Europe is home to the Picasso Museum
in the former Grimaldi Castle. Not far is also the medieval
cultural jewel Saint-Paul-de-Vence* – favorite place of
many artists. Art lovers are thrilled by the Foundation
Maeght.

Program highlights Corsica, the island beauty Corsica is a true “miniature continent”. In seven days, you will sail once around the entire island and have time to discover the many sides of the idiosyncratic isle in depth: following in the footsteps of Napoleon, on a boat tour along the rock formations of the Calanche, taking a tour into the hinterland of the Balagne, or more casually with a kayak or e-bike. Between art & lifestyle: Southern France At times enjoyable savoir-vivre, at times dreamily in small artists’ villages. Then again pure sophistication on the promenades of luxury ports – Southern France touches, inspires and fascinates in equal measure. Towns like Marseille, Aix-en-Provence and Montpellier are counted among the most livable cities in this country. Their chic flair exudes an elegant ease. From kitchen & cellar Fresh oysters, ham from Bayonne, the finest cheeses, or the famous fish soup bouillabaisse: surely, these delicacies make your mouth water. Hardly any other country offers such a great culinary variety and finesse. Our chef is looking forward to indulging you with regional specialties, accom- panied by selected French wines. More time ashore Thanks to longer layovers in the ports, you can fully immerse yourself in the French lifestyle. Whether history, nature, architecture, art or culinary delights – the selections in our excursion program promise versatility and variety and provide deep insights into the regions visited. During the relaxed days at sea, you can unwind and let the impressions from ashore linger. A lecturer accompanies the cruise A renowned lecturer accompanies all voyages between France and Corsica. In entertaining talks, he or she will introduce the country and its people to you, impart interesting facts and put you in the right mood for your shore excursions. Whether on board or ashore – our lecturer will be happy to answer your questions.
