About the trip
Setting off from Alicante, this cruise heads to Mahon on Menorca, where a compact old town and sheltered harbour invite a stroll. After a day at sea, Balmoral drops anchor on Italy’s Ligurian coast in Savona and La Spezia — the latter gateway to Cinque Terre’s vineyards and cliffside villages.
Crossing to Corsica at Bastia and Propriano, the ship calls in France briefly before rounding the Amalfi Coast, passing the cliffs and lemon groves that have drawn visitors for centuries. The following stops move steadily south, pausing at Salerno and skirting the Maratea Coast. Along the way, the dark silhouette of Stromboli volcano looms offshore, and the ship threads the Strait of Messina where two different seas meet.
This Fred. Olsen cruise on Balmoral offers smaller ship access to harbours often too tight for larger liners. After southern Italy, the voyage ends with a call in Valletta, Malta’s fortified capital, before returning to Alicante.
