About This Cruise
The 9 Night A Journey of Colourful Contours & Rich History is a 9-night one-way itinerary aboard Explora I. You board in Civitavecchia (Rome) and disembark in Monaco, calling at 8 ports across 3 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Italy (Civitavecchia, Livorno, Portofino), France (Cannes, St Tropez), Sardinia (Porto Cervo, Cagliari) and Italy (Civitavecchia).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Civitavecchia (Rome) and home from Monaco, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 1 day at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. 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.
