Scenic vineyards, dizzying Amalfi coastal vistas, timeless village piazzas, and ancient Roman ruins make perfect backdrops for this cruise along Italy's coast to the isles of Corsica and Sardinia.

Sip the sweetness of local Amalfi limoncello and tour the haunting ruins of Pompeii. Cycle past geologic wonders on Lipari - the largest and most storied of the seven Aeolian isles - then pause at an Italian hamlet for liquid refreshments and light bites. Luxuriate along the Emerald Coast near Porto Cervo, Sardinia's luxurious enclave for reclusive yacht owners and Europe's most expensive real estate. Inspect the dramatic vistas of Bonifacio, Corsica's oldest settlement known for its cliffs, medieval citadel, and stunning coastal views.
