This cruise is specially-tailored for French-speaking travelers and lectures will be conducted in French only.

In partnership with Maisons Côté Sud magazine, this journey celebrates the Mediterranean way of life through special moments of exchange with the editorial team and its guests, selected for their unique perspective on art and Italian refinement. A highlight of the trip is an optional excursion to the legendary marble quarries of Carrara, designed and guided by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte, and offered in French. On the program: a private tour, a cello concert by Polina Streltsova, and a buffet featuring local products in this spectacular setting, followed by a visit to Pietrasanta, a true open-air museum dedicated to the art of marble.

Throughout your journey, you will benefit from an excursion included per person per port of call, to choose from a selection offered by PONANT. During this cruise, admire the charms of the mythical village of Portofino; explore Lecce, known as the Florence of Southern Italy, from Otranto; or set off from Taormina to climb the mythical Mount Etna. The diversity of experiences on offer promises you intense and varied moments (to discover the full range of excursions, go to the itinerary tab).

From Nice, you will sail to Portofino. Built in a natural harbour protected by a pine forest, it is a picturesque and lively port that has successfully retained its authenticity and traditions.

Your cruise will continue along the Tuscan shoreline to Livorno, a port city famous for its Renaissance fortifications. The Little Venice district, as it is known, offers a picturesque setting in which to enjoy fish and seafood.

You will then stop at Porto Santo Stefano, a town built along a hillside and surrounded by a 17th century fortress, before sailing on to Amalfi and its coast, which are magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Perched between sky and sea, Amalfi presents amazing landscapes.

You will then head to Taormina, overlooking Etna’s blanket of snow. Its streets will lead you to its famed ancient Greek theatre, where the quality of the acoustics is exceptional.

After calls in Otranto and Ancona, Le Bougainville will reach Ravenna. Capital of the Roman Empire in the 5th century, the city bears witness to a thousand-year-old history where Roman and Byzantine cultures mingled and which can be seen today inside the city's religious buildings through its ancient mosaics.

The trip will end with a visit to the Serenissima Venice and its lagoon.
