Jewels of Italy, Spain and France with Explora Journeys
Jewels of Italy, Spain and France with Explora Journeys
Wild flowers, hidden coves, ribbons of delicate white sand, seaside cafés dishing up pasta, Puccini and views. Castaway from Rome to Sorrento and Messina, then enjoy the chic sporting life in Sardinia. Spain tugs on our heart strings in Barcelona and its Balearic Isles of Menorca and Ibiza, where we indulge in an overnight stay. A pinch of barefoot beau monde is savoured in Marseille and Nice before the fates return us to Italy. Iconic Genovese pesto, perfectly coiffured Portofino, Tuscan-fortified Argentario are our prelude to Rome.

why this journey works
Sixteen days lets this loop treat the western Mediterranean as regions rather than ports. Italy opens and closes it — Sorrento and Messina early, the Riviera run of Portofino, Genoa, and Porto Santo Stefano at the end. In between, Sardinia gets two distinct calls and Spain gets real time: Mahón, Barcelona, and an overnight in Ibiza instead of a same-day dash. That overnight is the tell. It is the difference between seeing Ibiza and actually having an evening there, and Explora II keeps the standard consistent across every port in between.

Rome (Civitavecchia)
Hidden Rome
Port: Rome (Civitavecchia) | Arrival Method: dock | Departure: 20:00
There’s more to Rome than its ancient architecture. The Eternal City is home to a seemingly endless array of hidden gems.

Or you can stroll by appointment to Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel and the Pope’s private quarters at the Vatican. Explore the historic ruins of The Colosseum, Caravaggio churches, the Spanish Steps and The Pantheon. Learn how to make pasta the true Italian way, hunt truffles, nibble gelato, sip coffee and sink into a 3000 year old pool for a wellness experience. An ode to homespun pasta at a Renaissance piazza. When in Rome, fusing old with new makes it simple to indulge in whatever you like.

Day 3
Messina (Sicily)
Eternally Exciting Messina
Port: Messina (Sicily) | Arrival Method: dock | Arrival: 09:00 | Departure: 21:00
If Sicilians do everything better, then Messina is pure mastery. The cathedral is finer; its bell tower taller; and the astronomical clock more magnificent.

Cinematic settings more stunning in the nearby village where the movie “The Godfather” was filmed and wineries more fruitful growing in fertile lava fields. Top off your day Taormina, home of the magnificent Greek Theatre, or heli, hike and summit epic Mount Etna. Eternally exciting Messina is built to impress.

Port: Messina (Sicily) | Arrival Method: dock | Arrival: 09:00 | Departure: 20:00
Cagliari fans out from the steep slopes of Il Castello, the hilltop citadel built by Pisan rulers in the 13th century, home to the opulent Cathedral of Santa Maria and bloody Elephant Tower, where trophy heads once hung. The seven-kilometre expanse of Poetto Beach unfurls from the Devil’s Saddle (Sella del Diavolo) on St. Elia promontory, past a string of beachfront eateries where legendary Sardinian seafood is enhanced by crisp chilled Vermentino. Across the waves, the irresistible waters of Capo Carbonara Marine Reserve teem with colourful coral fans and kaleidoscopic sea creatures.

Submerged Secrets in Alghero
Port: Alghero (Sardinia) | Arrival Method: dock | Arrival: 08:00 | Departure: 18:00
Watch the sun melt into the horizon from Alghero’s monumental towers, three sentinels that keep watch over ancient walls. Dive into the Coral Coast around Capo Caccia and discover underwater worlds teeming with graceful rays and the skeletons of ancient wrecks, then delve into Neptune’s secret grotto, burrowed between limestone cliffs and pebbly beaches. Don’t miss pretty Bosa, maiden of Sardinia, or the churches and museums of Sassari. Local wines are the perfect pour with lobster alla Catalana, plucked fresh from the deep blue sea.

Beyond the luxury boutiques and pretty harbourside piazzas, pastel townhouses huddle around the water’s edge and the manicured sculpture gardens of Museo del Parco lead up to the Chiesa di San Giorgio, resting place of the dragon-slaying saint, whose yellow façade looks out towards Etruscan villas and Ligurian lighthouses on the hillside. An hour away lie the five picture-perfect hamlets of Cinque Terre, stacked above the Mediterranean in a tumble of pastel cubes piled precariously on rocky promontories.

Genoa
Riviera Dreaming in Genoa
Port: Genoa | Arrival Method: dock | Arrival: 08:00 | Departure: 15:00
Pillow-soft sponge cakes, nutty pesto and barrels of creamy gelato await in historic Genoa, where young Christopher Columbus first glimpsed the sea. Wander cobbled streets past Baroque palazzi in the UNESCO-listed old town, where coffee-scented breezes drift through a labyrinth of alleyways near dazzling Piazza De Ferrari and its unmatched architecture. Dive into history among a treasure trove of galleries and museums in resplendent residences built for the bankers and merchants who made Genoa one of the mightiest ports in the Med. Surrender to the sunset serenade and heed the call of aperitivo as you stroll along Corso Italia beneath a fiery orange sky.

Porto Santo Stefano (Argentario)
Tuscan Treasures in Porto Santo Stefano
Port: Porto Santo Stefano (Argentario) | Arrival Method: tender | Arrival: 09:00 | Departure: 23:00
Framed by Monte Argentario’s wild landscapes dotted with ancient lookout towers and fringed with hidden calas (coves) and lighthouses, Porto Santo Stefano is one of Italy’s best-kept secrets. Steep streets spill down from the Spanish Fortress through a maze of cobbled passages that wind between terracotta rooftops to the old port, where fishermen unload their daily catch and sailboats bob in gin-clear shallows. Follow the boardwalk towards waterfront eateries and glasses of ruby Chianti, visit the WWF-protected sanctuary of Orbetello Lagoon, home to pink flamingos and graceful egrets, or sail to the outlying islands of Giglio and Giannutri, scarcely trodden gems of the Tuscan Archipelago.

Rome (Civitavecchia)
Hidden Rome
Port: Rome (Civitavecchia) | Arrival Method: dock | Arrival: 07:00
There’s more to Rome than its ancient architecture. The Eternal City is home to a seemingly endless array of hidden gems. The artistic-minded can enjoy fashion aristocracy, street art, vespa jaunts to The Appian Way and toss coins into fountains. Or you can stroll by appointment to Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel and the Pope’s private quarters at the Vatican. Explore the historic ruins of The Colosseum, Caravaggio churches, the Spanish Steps and The Pantheon. Learn how to make pasta the true Italian way, hunt truffles, nibble gelato, sip coffee and sink into a 3000 year old pool for a wellness experience. An ode to homespun pasta at a Renaissance piazza. When in Rome, fusing old with new makes it simple to indulge in whatever you like.

Pricing
Typical Trip Investment
Contact us for pricing.
Contact us for pricing.
What is a Typical Trip Investment?
To help you plan, many of our sample itineraries include a Typical Trip Investment rather than a fixed price.
Because every Evyssa journey is custom designed, pricing varies based on your travel dates, availability, room category, airfare (when included), exchange rates, and the experiences you choose. Instead of providing a price that may no longer be available when you’re ready to book, we offer a realistic investment range based on what similar trips typically cost.
Our Typical Trip Investment reflects the itinerary shown and is generally based on:
Double occupancy
Luxury accommodations similar to those featured
The private transfers, tours, and experiences described
Typical seasonal pricing at the time the itinerary was created
Standard service levels unless otherwise noted
Final pricing is confirmed only after your travel dates and preferences are finalized and suppliers confirm availability. During the planning process, we’ll present the best available options and pricing for your specific trip, along with any alternatives that may offer greater value.
Our goal is complete transparency—so you’ll always understand what is included, what may affect pricing, and how to make informed decisions before booking.
