The Islands of Italy, Greece & Croatia

Welcome to the Eternal City, where ancient monuments and elaborate churches sit alongside busy cafes and designer boutiques. Your ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht, Scenic Eclipse II, will be waiting at Civitavecchia, a Roman port dating back to the second century. When you arrive, be warmly welcomed on board by the Captain and crew. Settle in your spacious suite before heading to the Sky Bar on Deck 10 and toast the beginning of an unforgettable voyage as you look over the city’s twinkling lights. Please book your flight to arrive into Rome prior to 02:00 PM.

Ponza is home to a captivating historic centre, with narrow streets, vibrant buildings and a lively atmosphere. Renowned for its exquisite seafood dishes and breathtaking natural beauty, the island is a paradise for food enthusiasts and boasts stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters, making it a true gem of the Mediterranean. After an active morning, take some time to unwind before arriving in Capri this evening. This might also be the perfect opportunity to visit the Captain and their crew. Make the most of the open bridge policy to learn about the cutting-edge technology that makes your Discovery Yacht one of the smoothest ships on the seas.

Capri’s mythical charm has captured hearts for more than 2,000 years. Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus fell in love with the island in 29BC, building villas, temples and gardens for his own private paradise. Today, its jaw-dropping beauty still draws royalty, celebrities and fashionable travellers from all over the world. Wander through the Piazzetta and listen to the melodious chiming of the clock tower, admire the impossibly blue ocean as it crashes onto the cliffs, and taste its famous flourless chocolate cake or a fresh caprese salad.

The World Heritage-listed Aeolian Islands are seven volcanic outcrops set off the north coast of Sicily with a rich history dating back to 5000BC. As you sail into the islands this morning, look out for the huge rock formations that rise dramatically from the water. Lipari is the largest and most populated of the islands, known for its pebbled beaches, hiking trails and historic harbour. From its panoramic position, a castle overlooks the seafront of pastel-coloured townhouses, with windswept highlands and steep cliffs in the distance.

After the excitement of the past three days discoveries, it’s time to indulge in some well-deserved relaxation. Ask the butler to bring your morning coffee, then treat yourself to a laid-back day of connection and camaraderie with newfound friends at the vibrant Azure Bar & Café. Upon reaching Corfu in the evening, enjoy a serene afternoon in one of the cabanas on Deck 10. Take in the panoramic sea views with your complimentary binoculars, provided for your convenience in your suite.

This ruggedly beautiful Greek island is dotted with whitewashed houses and olive trees and is edged with shimmering turquoise waters. The World Heritage-listed Old Town of Corfu has a rich history and magnificent architecture displaying Renaissance and Baroque influences. Explore quaint fishing villages, relax on the many idyllic beaches and coves and stroll through the largest square in Greece, the Spianada.

For relaxation and wellbeing at sea, the indulgent Senses Spa# awaits on Deck 6. Inside this luxurious retreat you can be pampered with a range of holistic ESPA treatments#, including massages, facials, manicures and pedicures. Croatia’s second-largest city, Split, is visually stunning and rich with culture, history and architecture.  Take a stroll along the Riva past beautiful terraces, palm trees and busy eateries with harbour views. Diocletians Palace, built in the 4th century AD, dominates the city centre and houses a myriad of buzzing bars and cafes.

For early risers, experience a scenic passage between Brac and Solta Islands, where crystal-clear waters and breathtaking landscapes create a truly unforgettable journey. This stunning route offers captivating views of rugged coastlines, hidden coves, and the serene beauty of the Adriatic Sea. Hvar, the queen of the Croatian Dalmatian islands, known for its sunshine, the pebbly coves of its coastline and medieval history. The Town Square in Hvar is among the most beautiful and the largest in Croatia, and the medieval streets of Hvar Town are a treat to wander on this dreamy island.
