Your journey

From the shores of Tuscany to the Venetian lagoon, Le Boréal will sail the waters of the Mediterranean, between Portoferraio and its golden vineyards, east-facing Otranto, Sorrento looking out to Capri and its citrus scents. On the island of Elba, the memory of Napoleon is reflected in the azure waters of the coves, while from Taormina, Mount Etna rises up opposite its ancient theatre. The ports of call give pride of place to cultural visits and local discoveries.
