The perfect time fo a Mediterranean Voyage? Some would say its autumn, when the weather is balmy, the crowds have thinned and golden light casts a glow over outdoor cafes and shop filled plazas. This is the time of year to slow down and explore and with overnight and late night stays, you’ll never feel rushed. Your itinerary includes the French Riviera where, in St Tropez, you can spend the day people watching, shop in the many fine boutiques and galleries or go wine tasting in nearby coastal vineyards. Visit Monaco-ville, Monaco’s old medieval town, for a quiet walk and spectacular views and see the Prince’s Palace, Cathedral and wonderful Oceanographic Museum. Idle away the evening over a French Mediterranean dinner and treat yourself to a night at the elegant Grand Casino. Your voyage features two overnights in the natural scenery of Capri and Sorrento. Discover the ruins of Pompeii, shop for lemoncello and olive oils and savor fine Italian seafood, cheeses and wines. Take a boat tour of Capri’s beautiful bays and famous Blue Grotto or explore the island from on high with a chairlift ride to the peak of Mount Solaro.
A Night at the Oceanographic Museum—October 17, 2013. Spend an evening at a private party in the famous museum affiliated with Prince Albert and overseen for many years by Jacques Cousteau. Tour the aquarium and collections, sip wine and nibble on canapés, and enjoy the rooftop terrace with views of the harbor below.
