Le Laperouse, 5 Night Italian Escape ex Valletta, Malta to Naples, Italy

Set off to discover the Sicilian jewels and the shores of the Amalfi Coast, in the gentle light of autumn. Over the course of this 6-day journey, Le Lapérouse will take you to the crossroads of Eastern and Western civilizations, unveiling legendary sites. Along these shores, historic cities will open the doors to their ancient treasures and reveal their age-old secrets, while the untamed beauty of the Mediterranean coastline will showcase its full splendor.

You will begin your cruise in Valletta. This capital, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to many historical sites: St John's Cathedral, the Grandmaster's Palace and the churches of Our Lady of Victory, Saint Catherine and il Gesù.

Then, you will set sail for Syracuse, one of the most prestigious Sicilian cities, whose monuments are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage.

Then, you will discover Catania. Nestled on the slopes of Mount Etna, the city reveals a rich cultural and architectural heritage, as evidenced by its historic center, which is listed as a Unesco World Heritage site.

Le Lapérouse will set sail north-east, to the tip of the Italian boot, for Reggio Calabria. Fall under the spell of the fragrance of bergamot, the citrus fruit that dominates the region, in this charming city with its Art Nouveau and Belle Époque influences, as well as the outstanding panoramas provided by the lungomare, the sea front promenade, of the Sicilian coastline and Etna.

Your ship will then head for the Amalfi Coast, the jewel of Southern Italy, where you will visit Salerno, a superb little town particularly renowned for its Duomo.

Your adventure will end in Naples, one of the oldest cities in the world, where baroque churches, romantic plazas and ancient palaces meet.

Featuring innovative and environmentally-friendly equipment, elegantly designed cabins, spacious suites with large windows, and lounge areas that open onto the outside, this new limited-capacity yacht boasting just 92 cabins and suites will offer you a truly unique cruising experience.
