Natural beauty and 4,000 years of history converge in Italy, Sicily and the islands of the Mediterranean …

Justly famed for its sparkling capitals, ancient civilizations and cultured ambience, Royal Clipper’s Mediterranean is a world of mythical and tranquil seas, soaring mountains, medieval villages and sun-warmed beaches. Royal Clipper offers one seven night itinerary from Rome’s port of Civitavecchia, which includes sun-drenched Sicily, stops throughout the volcanic Aeolian Islands and routes along Italy’s romantic Amalfi Coast. Put yourself in a magical place of ancient Roman ruins, idyllic ports and myth-making islands lost in time; where tall cypresses, olive groves and hilltop villages remind you of Italian hill towns; where dancing waters are dotted with white sails and thousands of islands spill like green jewels over the sea; and more precious treasures abound in medieval walled cities that have miraculously survived through centuries of attack and siege.
