Von der Perle der Côte d’Azur in die wunderschöne maltesische Hauptstadt, willkommen an Bord zu einer 11-tägigen Mittelmeerkreuzfahrt. An der Bord der Le Dumont-d‘Urville entdecken Sie auf einer unvergesslichen Reise Korsika, auch „die Insel der Schönheit”, die italienische Küste und Malta.
Während Ihrer gesamten Reise profitieren Sie von einem bereits im Reisepreis inkludierten Landausflug pro Anlaufhafen und Person. Tauchen Sie auf dieser Kreuzfahrt in den üppigen Gewässern der wilden Halbinsel Revellata vor den Toren Calvis, entdecken Sie die Villa Dei Mulini, die Winterresidenz Napoleons in Portoferraio, und lernen Sie die Geschichte der Gladiatoren im archäologischen Park Neapolis in Syrakus kennen. Die Vielfalt der angebotenen Erlebnisse verspricht ebenso intensive wie abwechslungsreiche Momente (gesamtes Angebot unter dem Reiter „Reiseroute » einsehbar).
Von Nizza aus steuert Ihr Schiff Calvi an, im Herzen der Balagne. Zwischen steilen Gipfeln und herrlichen Stränden mit türkisfarbenem Wasser erleben Sie ein wildes und authentisches Korsika. Etwas weiter südlich, am Fuße des gebirgigen Cap Corse und des wüstenartigen Küstenstreifens Désert des Agriates, verleiht die Schönheit der Landschaft dem Städtchen Saint-Florent einen Postkartencharakter.
Nach einem Zwischenstopp in Portoferraio, einem kleinen Paradies auf der Insel Elba, wo Napoleon viele Tage im Exil verbrachte, machen Sie Station in Portofino. Eine hübsche, lebhafte kleine Hafenstadt in einer von Pinienwäldern geschützten Bucht, die ihre Traditionen bewahrt hat.
Nach einem Stopp auf der toskanischen Insel Giglio laufen Sie Porto Ercole an, ein malerisches Dorf in der Toskana mit bunten Häusern auf der Halbinsel Monte Argentario. Hier können Sie die Fischer der Lagune von Orbetello sowie lokale Produzenten treffen. Die grüne und hügelige Landschaft der Halbinsel bietet auch Gelegenheit zu herrlichen Wanderungen.
Etwas weiter südlich entdecken Sie die Liparischen Inseln. Lipari, die Hauptinsel der vulkanischen Liparischen Inseln, ist insbesondere für ihre zahlreichen natürlichen und architektonischen Schönheiten berühmt.
Nehmen Sie schließlich Kurs auf Malta und Gozo, einer geschützten Insel mit den Megalithischen Tempeln, die zum UNESCO-Welterbe gehören. Entdecken Sie die für ihre Weine berühmte Insel mit ihren herrlichen Landschaften, vom endlosen azurblauen Meer bis zu den traumhaften Salzgärten.
In Valletta, der Hauptstadt der Insel Malta und ehemaligen Hochburg des Ritterordens, endet die Kreuzfahrt.

Je nach Verfügbarkeit Preis pro Person.Walking tour of Calvi
From the pier, meet your guide and start your walking exploration along the town's narrow lane and the ancient ramparts.
This tour will give you the opportunity to learn more about Calvi's history, from its beginning as a fishing village to its century as a Genoese stronghold, until its current status as a picturesque vacation getaway.
Follow your guide to the entrance of the citadel, perched on a rocky hill overlooking the port. Walk through the drawbridge and stop to enjoy the panoramic view on the red rooftops and the crystal-clear sea. You will continue to the Place d'Armes and then to the Cathedral Saint Jean Baptist, set at the highest point of the promontory. The cathedral founded in the 13th century was partially destroyed during the Turkish siege in 1553, and rebuilt in a form of Greek cross.
Your walk will then take you to the home of Calvi's most famous resident, Christopher Colombus who is believed to be born in Calvi. After viewing the exterior of this fabled building, pass the 13th century Caserne Sampiero, formerly the Governor's palace which now serves as military barracks.
Make your way to the Oratoire Saint Antoine where you can admire the Italian fresco, then stroll along the city's ramparts and wander through the lower town. A bustling section of the town sitting at a foot of the ramparts, The Quay Landry features a lovely marina and a café lined promenade.

Porto Azzurro is one of the most picturesque and relaxing seaside resorts on Elba. Situated along a deep inlet on the eastern side of the island, Porto Azzurro is dominated by the early 17th century star-shaped Fort of San Giacomo, or “Forte Longone”.
You will then return to your coach and continue to Portoferraio, where you will enjoy a guided walking tour through the town en-route to the Villa Dei Mulini, the former winter residence of French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. Although Napoleon’s exile on Elba was brief, he left behind a considerable cultural and historical heritage.

Inbegriffen
Je nach Verfügbarkeit Preis pro Person.Discover Portoferraio
From the pier, you will meet your local guide and start a walking tour of Portoferraio.
Portoferraio was founded by the Romans (with the name of Fabricia) on a pre-existing Tuscan settlement. After the fall of Rome, the town was destroyed by the buccaneers and rebuilt in the 7th century under the name of Ferraia. In 1442 the Saracens destroyed it and in the 16th century, the Grand Duke of Tuscany Cosimo I of the Medici Family ordered the construction of imposing fortifications. The town was named Cosmopoli after him. Finally, under the reign of the Lorena Family, the name Ferraia was reestabilished and changed into the present name of Portoferraio.
Portoferraio is today the main town of Elba island. Its historical centre is a labyrinth of small alleys and many are the monuments and churches not to be missed. After a long uphill walk you will have beautiful views of the port. You will also see Piazza della Repubblica, where you will admire the Town Hall, the former Biscotteria Palace, where ship-biscuits were made for the crews of galleys. A stroll along the promenade with nice shops and sailing boats is also included.
-
This excursion involves walking approximately 3 km on very steep roads to reach the top of Portoferraio. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun.
Inbegriffen
Je nach Verfügbarkeit Preis pro Person.Portofino walking tour
Through the centuries, Portofino functioned primarily as a fishing village and, occasionally, as a small naval port. Today, it is a classy resort-village. Portofino's miniscule bay is neatly packed with pricey yachts, common boats and, as a vestige of its past, some fishing boats.
From the pier, you will meet your local guide and start your panoramic walking tour. If you don't bring your camera to Portofino, you will regret it. The town is striking with its brightly colored antique buildings hovering over sparkling blue water. And the surrounding luxuriant green hillsides of the Portofino Promontory are equally stunning.
Your walk heads up to the right as you face the harbour. You will enjoy a path through one of the largest concentrations of flora and fauna in the Mediterranean. For some fantastic views of the entire bay and the Tigullian Gulf, you will walk up the hill to the Church of San Giorgio. Perched high above the town, this church contains relics of St. George brought over by crusaders from the Holy Land. From here you will walk to another great lookout point at the Punto del Capo, the Portofino lighthouse.
Afterward, you will take the way back to the pier.
-
This tour involves walking 2.5 miles (4 km) on flat and cobblestone ground and sloping floor. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun. Internal visits of the Church of San Giorgio and Portofino lighthouse are not included.
Inbegriffen
Je nach Verfügbarkeit Preis pro Person.The Spanish forts of Porto Ercole, via the paths
The lovely village of Porto Ercole and its Spanish forts, the historic guardians of this still preserved peninsula, nestle on the sides of Monte Argentario, a promontory plunging into the surreal blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
With its wild and lush vegetation, villas enveloped by bougainvillea, hotel with timeless charm and turquoise coves, Monte Argentario looks like paradise. However, it is perhaps in exploring its slopes that you will get the best measure of the area. The Spanish knew what they were doing here and, during their domination, erected forts whose ramparts are like miradors with a breathtaking panorama.
Start your hike through the pine forest and past the opulent villas to Borgo, an old village laden with history. Then, walk along a pleasant path to reach the Rocca Spagnola. The entrance bears the impressive emblem of the State of the Presidi, which reigned over this part of Tuscany in the 16th century. The fortified buildings they constructed here, including watch towers and military ramparts, are visible throughout Monte Argentario.
On the cliff face, overlooking the beautiful Ansedonia gulf, Forte Stella can be reached by a steep uphill walk, amply rewarded by unobstructed views. Then, finish your visit wandering the streets of Porto Ercole, a little-known seaside resort and point of reference for aesthetes charmed by its gentleness and calm.
-
This excursion involves walking 5 km (3.1 miles), sometimes uphill and downhill, with some steps. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes and protection from the sun and that you bring your water bottle from the ship. The order of the visits may vary.
Inbegriffen
Je nach Verfügbarkeit Preis pro Person.Meeting the fishermen of Orbetello
In Orbetello, the famous Tuscan epicureanism comes into its own. The fragrances of juicy fruits and saffron mix with salty air, and the pine forest makes way for a rocky and wild sea front, where the fish — and therefore the fishermen — are legion. Set off to meet them, and discover the traditions and delicacies of this region with its profound connections to the sea.
Arriving at the small ports of Porto Ercole or Porto Santo Stefano, it is not uncommon to come across old sea dogs, busy patching up their fishing nets. However, it is near Orbetello Lagoon, teeming with sought-after fish, that you will really be able to dive into the region’s history and fishing traditions.
Here, the Pescatori district and its fishermen are as much guardians of memory as they are the representatives of the knowledge passed on from fathers to sons. Among other things, families here perpetuate the delicious art of bottarga (salted, cured fish roe) production.
In the centre of Orbetello, the headquarters of the Pescatori, the Slow Food Presidia, perfectly illustrate the local inhabitants’ generosity and love of good food. Every day, dishes using local fish and vegetables from nearby land are cooked there. You will be able to taste these ultra-fresh and refined creations, accompanied by white wine from the region, before visiting the village and its pretty little streets.
This excursion involves walking 2 km (1.2 miles) mainly flat surfaces. We recommend you wear comfortable shoes and clothes, and protect yourself from the sun. A minimum of 30 participants is necessary for this visit, and a maximum of 45 persons may take part. The tasting is included in the visit.
Inbegriffen
Je nach Verfügbarkeit Preis pro Person.Panorama of the Aeolian Islands
Lipari is the largest and most populated of the Aeolian Islands. Famous since olden times for its obsidian quarries, the town and port are dominated by a citadel, testimony to the archipelago’s strategic importance in the past.
Leaving from the port by coach you will take a tour of the island. Your first stop stop is the Quattrocchi viewpoint, one of the archipelago’s most striking panoramas. Here you can admire the volcanic peaks of Jacopo and Perciato, against a backdrop of Vulcano Island. There are also other good spots to see the island of Salina, the pumice stone quarries and the Rocche Rosse obsidian flow.
The coach then heads to the centre of Lipari where your excursion will continue on foot. Lipari’s historic centre is dominated by a Castle built on the promontory. Its construction dates back to ancient times, with a tower forming part of Greek fortifications of the 4th and 5th centuries BC, medieval towers from the 13th century, and surrounding walls from the Spanish period. Inside there are numerous archaeological remains as well as the Norman Cathedral Saint Bartolomeo (only outside visit) dating from 1084 and which has a Baroque facade. On the sides, you will notice the ruins of a Norman Abbey. You will also visit the Aeolian Archaeological Museum revealing the evolution of the islands in the active volcano system. You can go into the “classic” section where objects from Lipari and the other islands, from prehistoric times to the Greek and Roman periods, are presented.
-
Photography and video are not allowed inside the museum. This excursion involves 1 hour of walking over uneven grounds with some steps. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun.

Je nach Verfügbarkeit Preis pro Person.Discover Portoferraio
From the pier, you will meet your local guide and start a walking tour of Portoferraio.
Portoferraio was founded by the Romans (with the name of Fabricia) on a pre-existing Tuscan settlement. After the fall of Rome, the town was destroyed by the buccaneers and rebuilt in the 7th century under the name of Ferraia. In 1442 the Saracens destroyed it and in the 16th century, the Grand Duke of Tuscany Cosimo I of the Medici Family ordered the construction of imposing fortifications. The town was named Cosmopoli after him. Finally, under the reign of the Lorena Family, the name Ferraia was reestabilished and changed into the present name of Portoferraio.
Portoferraio is today the main town of Elba island. Its historical centre is a labyrinth of small alleys and many are the monuments and churches not to be missed. After a long uphill walk you will have beautiful views of the port. You will also see Piazza della Repubblica, where you will admire the Town Hall, the former Biscotteria Palace, where ship-biscuits were made for the crews of galleys. A stroll along the promenade with nice shops and sailing boats is also included.

Je nach Verfügbarkeit Preis pro Person.Portofino walking tour
Through the centuries, Portofino functioned primarily as a fishing village and, occasionally, as a small naval port. Today, it is a classy resort-village. Portofino's miniscule bay is neatly packed with pricey yachts, common boats and, as a vestige of its past, some fishing boats.
From the pier, you will meet your local guide and start your panoramic walking tour. If you don't bring your camera to Portofino, you will regret it. The town is striking with its brightly colored antique buildings hovering over sparkling blue water. And the surrounding luxuriant green hillsides of the Portofino Promontory are equally stunning.
Your walk heads up to the right as you face the harbour. You will enjoy a path through one of the largest concentrations of flora and fauna in the Mediterranean. For some fantastic views of the entire bay and the Tigullian Gulf, you will walk up the hill to the Church of San Giorgio. Perched high above the town, this church contains relics of St. George brought over by crusaders from the Holy Land. From here you will walk to another great lookout point at the Punto del Capo, the Portofino lighthouse.
Afterward, you will take the way back to the pier.

Je nach Verfügbarkeit Preis pro Person.The Spanish forts of Porto Ercole, via the paths
The lovely village of Porto Ercole and its Spanish forts, the historic guardians of this still preserved peninsula, nestle on the sides of Monte Argentario, a promontory plunging into the surreal blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
With its wild and lush vegetation, villas enveloped by bougainvillea, hotel with timeless charm and turquoise coves, Monte Argentario looks like paradise. However, it is perhaps in exploring its slopes that you will get the best measure of the area. The Spanish knew what they were doing here and, during their domination, erected forts whose ramparts are like miradors with a breathtaking panorama.
Start your hike through the pine forest and past the opulent villas to Borgo, an old village laden with history. Then, walk along a pleasant path to reach the Rocca Spagnola. The entrance bears the impressive emblem of the State of the Presidi, which reigned over this part of Tuscany in the 16th century. The fortified buildings they constructed here, including watch towers and military ramparts, are visible throughout Monte Argentario.
On the cliff face, overlooking the beautiful Ansedonia gulf, Forte Stella can be reached by a steep uphill walk, amply rewarded by unobstructed views. Then, finish your visit wandering the streets of Porto Ercole, a little-known seaside resort and point of reference for aesthetes charmed by its gentleness and calm.

This excursion involves walking 5 km (3.1 miles), sometimes uphill and downhill, with some steps. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes and protection from the sun and that you bring your water bottle from the ship. The order of the visits may vary.

Je nach Verfügbarkeit Preis pro Person.Meeting the fishermen of Orbetello
In Orbetello, the famous Tuscan epicureanism comes into its own. The fragrances of juicy fruits and saffron mix with salty air, and the pine forest makes way for a rocky and wild sea front, where the fish — and therefore the fishermen — are legion. Set off to meet them, and discover the traditions and delicacies of this region with its profound connections to the sea.
Arriving at the small ports of Porto Ercole or Porto Santo Stefano, it is not uncommon to come across old sea dogs, busy patching up their fishing nets. However, it is near Orbetello Lagoon, teeming with sought-after fish, that you will really be able to dive into the region’s history and fishing traditions.
Here, the Pescatori district and its fishermen are as much guardians of memory as they are the representatives of the knowledge passed on from fathers to sons. Among other things, families here perpetuate the delicious art of bottarga (salted, cured fish roe) production.
In the centre of Orbetello, the headquarters of the Pescatori, the Slow Food Presidia, perfectly illustrate the local inhabitants’ generosity and love of good food. Every day, dishes using local fish and vegetables from nearby land are cooked there. You will be able to taste these ultra-fresh and refined creations, accompanied by white wine from the region, before visiting the village and its pretty little streets.
This excursion involves walking 2 km (1.2 miles) mainly flat surfaces. We recommend you wear comfortable shoes and clothes, and protect yourself from the sun. A minimum of 30 participants is necessary for this visit, and a maximum of 45 persons may take part. The tasting is included in the visit.
