About This Cruise

In sequence the voyage takes in Spain (Alicante), Italy (Civitavecchia, Genoa, Genoa), France (Marseille), Italy (Civitavecchia, Civitavecchia), Greece (Rhodes, Rhodes), Cyprus (Limassol) and 2 more, among others.
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Alicante and home from Durban, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book.

Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
