A scenic Mediterranean cruise to hidden coastal gems and unique ports only smaller ships can reach.
View Dates & BookThis journey heads off the beaten path to some of the Mediterranean's most beautiful coastal areas. Daytime scenic cruising will reveal the volcanic island of Stromboli, the Amalfi and Maratea coasts, Mahon's picturesque harbour and the Strait of Messina, all offering captivating views from your ship. Docking in Mahon, Bastia and Propriano is possible thanks to Balmoral's smaller size, whilst visits to La Spezia, gateway to charming Cinque Terre, and Salerno, with an overnight stay to explore the villages, vineyards and villas of the Amalfi Coast, provide rewarding experiences. Elsewhere, you can discover Corsica's rugged landscapes, the Italian Riviera's walking trails and the harmonious tones of Trallalero folk music.
