From the pearl of the French Riviera to the splendid Maltese capital, set sail on an 11-day cruise in the Mediterranean Sea. Aboard Le Dumont-d’Urvile, discover the Isle of Beauty, the Italian shores and Malta during an unforgettable trip.

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, dive into the teeming waters of the wild Revellata peninsula at the gates of Calvi, discover the Villa Dei Mulini, Napoleon’s former winter residence in Portoferraio, and immerse yourself in gladiatorial history in the Neapolis Archaeological Park, in Syracuse. 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 set sail for Calvi in the heart of the Balagne region. Between steep peaks and sublime beaches with turquoise waters, you will experience a wild and authentic Corsica. A little further south, at the foot of the mountains of Cap Corse and the Agriates desert, the beauty of the landscapes gives Saint-Florent a picture-postcard appearance. 

After a port of call at Portoferraio, a small corner of paradise on the island of Elba, where Napoleon spent many days in exile, you will stop in 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 exploration will continue to the Tuscan Island of Giglio. Then, your ship will stop at Porto Ercole, a charming Tuscan village with colourful houses, on the Monte Argentario peninsula. Here, you will have the possibility of meeting fishermen from the Orbetello Lagoon as well as local producers. The peninsula’s rolling and lush landscapes will also provide you with opportunities for magnificent outings.

A little further south, you will discover the Aeolian islands. Lipari is the capital of the Aeolian volcanic archipelago and is renowned for its many natural and architectural gems.

Then you will head for Malta and Gozo, an unspoiled island that is home to a megalithic site listed with UNESCO. Explore the island — famous for its wine — and its spectacular scenery, from the endless azure sea to the dreamlike decor of the salt marshes.

Your cruise will come to an end in Valletta, capital of the island of Malta and former stronghold of the Knights of the Order of Malta.
