Itinerary
Day 1: Welcome on board the SeaDreamI This Mediterranean cruise departs from Dubrovnik in Croatia, with boarding beginning in the evening, including a personal meet and greet with the captain. You will be moored overnight at the port of Dubrovnik – note that SeaDream anchors off the walled city and tenders directly to the town gate.
Day 2: Dubrovnik – the Pearl of the Adriatic On the first full day of your luxury cruise of the Mediterranean, you can discover the historic gems in Dubrovnik, known locally as the Pearl of the Adriatic. The city is a UNESCO-protected site and has been since 1979, and boasts spectacular city walls, which are certainly a must-see as the main attraction. In fact, Dubrovnik is considered to be among the 10 best mediaeval walled cities in the world and we highly recommend wandering along the walls, where you will be rewarded with simply stunning views over the Old Town and the shimmering Adriatic Sea. Our recommended tours: We offer a complete holiday planning service, which means that we have the pleasure of offering you exclusive tours to enhance your experience. Whilst moored in Dubrovnik, you can enjoy our Buggy Safari with Views of the Srdj Hill or perhaps you would prefer our refined Dubrovnik Tour & Wine-tasting Experience. For fans of the TV and book series Game of Thrones, don’t miss our themed tour experience! To find out more, simply click the “Tours & Land Excursions” tab at the top of the page.
Day 3: Discover Italy’s heel! Today, you will have the opportunity to explore the rich beauty of Apulia, which sits within Italy’s “heel”. SeaDream will moor at the port town of Gallipoli, which sits happily on the Ionian Sea in a prime position that offers glorious coastal vistas. Like many Italian cities, Gallipoli splits into two parts: the modern town and the historic old town, which is located on a limestone island connected to the mainland by a 16th-century bridge. The beauty of Gallipoli’s old and new towns is that you can enjoy particularly diverse and varied attractions – for example, the new town is home to modern architecture, including a skyscaper, while the old town features historic sights, such as the 13th-century Angevine-Aragonese Castle. Our recommended tour: Whilst in Gallipoli, we highly recommend exploring the wider region and we offer a popular VIP Lecce Day Tour that allows you to discover the so-called “Florence of the South” with a private guide. To find out more, simply click the “Tours & Land Excursions” tab at the top of the page.
Day 4 & 5: Immerse yourself in the charm of Sicilian culture After discovering the enticing beauty of Apulia, today you can explore the chic town of Taormina, which sits at the foothills of Mount Etna on the east coast of Sicily. SeaDream anchors in the bay of Giardini Naxos, allowing you to appreciate fantastic views of the UNESCO-protected natural site of Mount Etna and Taormina. A shuttle bus will be waiting to take you from Giardini Naxos to Taormina, where you can explore the fascinating attractions, such as the Duomo (Cathedral), Palazzo Corvaja, the Anglican Church of Saint George, the Church of San Domenico and the exquisite Baroque fountain. Alternatively, opt for one of our exclusive land excursions to see the wider region. On day 5, your captain will treat you to a scenic navigation of Stromboli, one of the eight small islands in the Aeolian group in the Tyrrhenian Sea. The island is home to one of Italy’s active volcanoes and this thrilling scenic navigation will give you the unique opportunity to hear and feel the power of this magnificent volcano, known locally as the Lighthouse of the Mediterranean. Our recommended tours: We highly recommend enjoying our Mount Etna Wine-tasting Experience, featuring local wines produced from the Etna vineyards. Or for something a little more exhilarating, enjoy our Quad Bike Tour to the Etna Lava Fields. To find out more, simply click the “Tours & Land Excursions” tab at the top of the page.
Day 6 & 7: Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Amalfi Coast After discovering the unique charm of Sicilian culture, on day 6 of your cruise you will sail toward the stunning Amalfi Coast, stopping ovenight at the port of Positano, which is a UNESCO-protected coastal town known for its unique architecture. As well as its pebble beachfront, one of the town’s most notable sights is the Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta, which features a majolica-tiled dome and a 13th-century Byzantine icon of the Virgin Mary. According to local legend, the icon was stolen from Byzantium (an ancient Greek colony) and was being transported by pirates across the Mediterranean; however, a violent storm erupted in the waters opposite Positano and the frightened sailors feared the icon was cursed and so carried it to Positano, where it remains to this day. As night sets in, we are sure that you will delight at the coastal vistas you can enjoy from the SeaDream I as the Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta lights up in the evening sky – it is something quite remarkable!
Day 7: Unwind in Capri – the Pearl of the Mediterranean As your Mediterranean cruise continues, today you will dock at the idyllic Italian island of Capri, which is not far from Sorrento on the south coast of Italy. The island is known as the Pearl of the Mediterranean thanks to its stunning island scenery with vibrant flowers and magical sea caves, as well as its charming boutique stores. The island has so much to offer, including the famous Grotta Azzurra (Blue Grotto sea cave), Villa Jovis, Giardini di Augusto, Certosa di San Giacomo, Villa San Michele di Axel Munthe and the uniquely shaped Faraglioni rocks. Our recommended tour:Take advantage of our exclusive Private Island Tour to discover the top attractions, including the hill-top town of Anacapri and the Blue Grotto, or for something cultural, you can opt for our VIP Land Excursion to Pompeii, giving you the opportunity to step back in time at this thought-provoking archaeological site. Simply click the “Tours & Land Excursions” tab at the top of the page for more information.
Day 7 & 8: Taste limoncello in Sorrento In the evening of day 7, you will leave the delights of Capri and sail toward the Italian mainland, stopping overnight in the charming port of Sorrento. The town is a popular holiday destination and is known for its blossoming citrus groves – the lemons of which are used to make the famous Italian limoncello liqueur, which we highly recommend sampling – and there are many boutique shops to enjoy, where you can buy gifts, such as hand-painted ceramics. Being docked at Sorrento, you will also be able to admire the epic Mount Vesuvius, which stands proudly on the Neopolitan coast, as well as simply stunning coastal views and sea vistas. Since this region is the birthplace of pizza, if you choose to enjoy an authentic Neopolitan pizza whilst docked at Sorrento, we recommend heading to Sorrento’s town centre, where you will find the charming Pizzeria Da Franco on Corso Italia – it is a no-frills, traditional pizzeria with a wood-fired oven, where you can sample the most sublime pizza! On the morning of day 8, you will leave Sorrento and sail in the direction of Sardinia.
Day 9: Embrace luxury on Sardinia After discovering the quaint charm of South Italy, it’s time to immerse yourself in the undeniable luxury of Sardinia. The SeaDream will dock at the port of Polto Quatu, near Porto Cervo on the northern face of the island. The village is the main centre of the Costa Smeralda – the most exclusive holiday resort on Sardinia. The area is renowned for its beauty and high class thanks to its white sand beaches and simply stunning sea views, and is a place where you can completely relax in the Italian sunshine. There is also a luxury golf club designed by Robert Trent Jones and we can arrange for you to enjoy the greens as a part of your hand-crafted cruise package.

Day 10: Soak up the sun in Calvi Today, you will have the opportunity to explore the rich beauty of Corsica, a glorious island in the Haute-Corse department of France. The SeaDream docks at Calvi, which sits on the northwest coast of the island, giving you the opportunity to enjoy watersports, hiking, golfing and mountain biking. However, if you’re eager to discover the unique Corsica culture, you may prefer our walking tour, featuring the main cultural sights. Our recommended tours: Whilst on Corsica, you can enjoy our exclusive Calvi 4×4 Land Adventure through the Mursalinu Valley and along the Fango river or perhaps you would prefer our Villages of Corsica Tour to Calenzana, Lunghignano, Montemaggiore, Col de Salvi, Cateri, San Antonino and Ile Rousse.

This is the perfect place to relax on the beach, but if you would prefer to enjoy the sights, we recommend making your way to the hill towns, which are home to some of the region’s finest wineries specialising in rosé wine.

Italy Luxury Cruises 
Day 1 & 2: Overnight at Dubrovnik in Croatia (boarding starts at 2pm)
On the first full day of your luxury cruise of the Mediterranean, you can discover the historic gems in Dubrovnik, known locally as the Pearl of the Adriatic. The city is a UNESCO-protected site and has been since 1979, and boasts spectacular city walls, which are certainly a must-see as the main attraction. In fact, Dubrovnik is considered to be among the 10 best mediaeval walled cities in the world and we highly recommend wandering along the walls, where you will be rewarded with simply stunning views over the Old Town and the shimmering Adriatic Sea.
Today, you will have the opportunity to explore the rich beauty of Apulia, which sits within Italy’s “heel”. SeaDream will moor at the port town of Gallipoli, which sits happily on the Ionian Sea in a prime position that offers glorious coastal vistas. Like many Italian cities, Gallipoli splits into two parts: the modern town and the historic old town, which is located on a limestone island connected to the mainland by a 16th-century bridge. The beauty of Gallipoli’s old and new towns is that you can enjoy particularly diverse and varied attractions – for example, the new town is home to modern architecture, including a skyscaper, while the old town features historic sights, such as the 13th-century Angevine-Aragonese Castle.
After discovering the enticing beauty of Apulia, today you can explore the chic town of Taormina, which sits at the foothills of Mount Etna on the east coast of Sicily. SeaDream anchors in the bay of Giardini Naxos, allowing you to appreciate fantastic views of the UNESCO-protected natural site of Mount Etna and Taormina. A shuttle bus will be waiting to take you from Giardini Naxos to Taormina, where you can explore the fascinating attractions, such as the Duomo (Cathedral), Palazzo Corvaja, the Anglican Church of Saint George, the Church of San Domenico and the exquisite Baroque fountain. Alternatively, opt for one of our exclusive land excursions to see the wider region. On day 5, your captain will treat you to a scenic navigation of Stromboli, one of the eight small islands in the Aeolian group in the Tyrrhenian Sea. The island is home to one of Italy’s active volcanoes and this thrilling scenic navigation will give you the unique opportunity to hear and feel the power of this magnificent volcano, known locally as the Lighthouse of the Mediterranean.
After discovering the unique charm of Sicilian culture, on day 6 of your cruise you will sail toward the stunning Amalfi Coast, stopping ovenight at the port of Positano, which is a UNESCO-protected coastal town known for its unique architecture. As well as its pebble beachfront, one of the town’s most notable sights is the Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta, which features a majolica-tiled dome and a 13th-century Byzantine icon of the Virgin Mary. According to local legend, the icon was stolen from Byzantium (an ancient Greek colony) and was being transported by pirates across the Mediterranean; however, a violent storm erupted in the waters opposite Positano and the frightened sailors feared the icon was cursed and so carried it to Positano, where it remains to this day. As night sets in, we are sure that you will delight at the coastal vistas you can enjoy from the SeaDream I as the Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta lights up in the evening sky – it is something quite remarkable!
As your Mediterranean cruise continues, today you will dock at the idyllic Italian island of Capri, which is not far from Sorrento on the south coast of Italy. The island is known as the Pearl of the Mediterranean thanks to its stunning island scenery with vibrant flowers and magical sea caves, as well as its charming boutique stores. The island has so much to offer, including the famous Grotta Azzurra (Blue Grotto sea cave), Villa Jovis, Giardini di Augusto, Certosa di San Giacomo, Villa San Michele di Axel Munthe and the uniquely shaped Faraglioni rocks.
In the evening of day 7, you will leave the delights of Capri and sail toward the Italian mainland, stopping overnight in the charming port of Sorrento. The town is a popular holiday destination and is known for its blossoming citrus groves – the lemons of which are used to make the famous Italian limoncello liqueur, which we highly recommend sampling – and there are many boutique shops to enjoy, where you can buy gifts, such as hand-painted ceramics. Being docked at Sorrento, you will also be able to admire the epic Mount Vesuvius, which stands proudly on the Neopolitan coast, as well as simply stunning coastal views and sea vistas. Since this region is the birthplace of pizza, if you choose to enjoy an authentic Neopolitan pizza whilst docked at Sorrento, we recommend heading to Sorrento’s town centre, where you will find the charming Pizzeria Da Franco on Corso Italia – it is a no-frills, traditional pizzeria with a wood-fired oven, where you can sample the most sublime pizza! On the morning of day 8, you will leave Sorrento and sail in the direction of Sardinia.
After discovering the quaint charm of South Italy, it’s time to immerse yourself in the undeniable luxury of Sardinia. The SeaDream will dock at the port of Polto Quatu, near Porto Cervo on the northern face of the island. The village is the main centre of the Costa Smeralda – the most exclusive holiday resort on Sardinia. The area is renowned for its beauty and high class thanks to its white sand beaches and simply stunning sea views, and is a place where you can completely relax in the Italian sunshine. There is also a luxury golf club designed by Robert Trent Jones and we can arrange for you to enjoy the greens as a part of your hand-crafted cruise package.
Today, you will have the opportunity to explore the rich beauty of Corsica, a glorious island in the Haute-Corse department of France. The SeaDream docks at Calvi, which sits on the northwest coast of the island, giving you the opportunity to enjoy watersports, hiking, golfing and mountain biking. However, if you’re eager to discover the unique Corsica culture, you may prefer our walking tour, featuring the main cultural sights.
As a finale to your luxury Mediterranean cruise, you will stop in the famously luxurious resort of Saint-Tropez, which attracts celebrities and the elite with its sun-soaked pristine beaches, luxury designer stores and stunning seascapes. This is the perfect place to relax on the beach, but if you would prefer to enjoy the sights, we recommend making your way to the hill towns, which are home to some of the region’s finest wineries specialising in rosé wine. SeaDream anchors just off the break wall and tenders directly to the pier downtown – the perfect location.
And so your luxury Mediterreanean voyage comes to an end today, with the SeaDream leaving you on the idyllic French Riviera in the exclusive coastal resort of Nice. Disembarkation begins at 8 am at the small port, giving you ample time to discover the famous attractions, including the city’s famous seaside promenade, the Promenade des Anglais (“the Walkway of the English”).
