Ciao e benvenuto from Civitavecchia

By Corey Sandler, Destination Consultant Silversea Cruises

We bid arrivederci to friends from our cruise from Barcelona, and prepare to set off on a new adventure.

Sailing from Civitavecchia, the ancient and modern port of Rome, we’re off on a cruise to some classic Italian ports, a quick jaunt to Malta, and then back to the mainland of France.

We sail south to lovely Sorrento, where we can go ashore there to explore that city or head to always-intriguing Pompeii or Herculaneum in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius.

Or we can cross over by ferry to enchanting Capri.

From Sorrento we continue south between Scylla and Charybdis into the Strait of Messina and on to a port call at Taormina on the island of Sicily, the football kicked by the toe of Italy.

On Monday we are due to visit the spectacular city of Valletta on the island of Malta.

From there we will head north for a stop at Trapani in Sicily, and then to Olbia on the Italian island of Sardinia, and then Calvi on the French island of Corsica.

This cruise will conclude on the mainland of France at Nice.

I hope you’ll join me here for photos and observations.
