Have you always wanted to set sail on a Mediterranean cruise? Enjoy an exclusive private concert in a delightful Baroque church in the walled city of Dubrovnik during our Mediterranean Treasures itinerary, as part of the Scenic Enrich Program. Try your hand at traditional Sardinian recipes at the on board cooking school, Scenic Epicure. Or follow the footsteps of Napoleon through Corsica during a Scenic Freechoice activity.
Perhaps the ancient history of Athens inspires you to explore the Mediterranean, or the gentle breeze and timeless charm of Italy’s Amalfi Coast. If all this and more – such as Malaga, Cassis and Santorini – are your idea of a perfect luxury ocean cruise, then the 21 day Ultimate Mediterranean Treasures itinerary could be for you.
Just a stone’s throw away from the awe-inspiring Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii, the Amalfi region is a sight to behold: all rugged rock faces and colourful pastel houses set against the sparkling, glistening azure of the Mediterranean Sea. It’s not hard to see why many celebrities and artists have chosen the destination as a place for relaxation and rejuvenation over the centuries and decades.
Highlights include the 13th-century Byzantine monuments at Positano, which were allegedly stolen by pirates, historic Ravello with its visually-striking Terrazzo dell'lnfinito (the Terrace of Infinity) and the town of Amalfi itself, which became a popular destination for aristocracy in the interwar period of the 20th century.
Our tip? Visit the old town, which is a global epicentre of medieval preservation. Once rivalling Venice as a trading port, Dubrovnik has seen centuries of rule and change, all the while remaining strong and stable through time’s passing.
