"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 7, 10 and 11 night night itineraries from Rome's port of Civitavecchia and Venice, which include sun-drenched Sicily, stops throughout the volcanic Aeolian Islands, routes along Italy's romantic Amalfi Coast and the Croatian Archipelago.

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 by 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.

It is a country that is more sea than land, birthplace of generations of sailors and adventurers, including Marco Polo. Here fishermen still bring in the catch every day - and seafood never sees a freezer before being served at your table! This is the enchanted Istrian and Dalmatian Coast of Croatia, and it is richly deserving of your
discovery. But come quickly. Because others will find it very soon!
