4 Nights on Star Explorer

Set sail on a romantic interlude between the scenic Italian coastline and Corsica's rustic shores. Visit Bonifacio’s imposing Corsican citadel and the narrow lanes of Old Genoese town, or board a boat that drifts past limestone cliffs peppered with sea bird nests, precipitous vegetation, and ancient caves. Bask in the Mediterranean sun as you discover hidden coves and azure waters, or linger over regional wines and cuisine that celebrate the island’s French and Italian influences. This journey blends natural beauty with cultural charm for an unforgettable escape.

In this enchanting city the past and present intersect in perfect harmony. Casually intermingled among ancient ruins and majestic cathedrals are the trappings of a modern metropolis: Skyscrapers,cafes, boutiques selling designer footwear. But of course what you seek first in the heart of Rome is its breathtaking history.  A good place to begin is the Vatican, with its Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. Works by Bernini, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, and Raphael are just a few of those on display, any one of which is worth hours of contemplation. Then the ancient ruins-Colosseum, Forum, Circus Maximus. And of course the Trevi Fountain for the obligatory coins promising your return to the Eternal City.
