Puglia's Baroque to 
Valletta's Eternal Charm

From ancestral vineyards to cinematic harbors, this voyage offers an intimate portrait of Mediterranean life at its most evocative. Departing Dubrovnik and its magnificent walls, you sail to Italy’s stiletto heel and are quickly enamored by Otranto, a charming town of cobbled streets, hidden courtyards, and flower-filled alleys. Yet it is nearby Lecce that steals our hearts with traditional dance performance in the shadows of glamorous Baroque buildings. Embracing the spirit of dolce farniente, you enjoy a day at sea before arriving rested in Syracuse to discover its poetry of substance and style. Finally, you sail to Valletta, where time feels suspended among UNESCO streets stretching beneath devout domes and sacred steeples.

  • Dubrovnik, the 
    Pearl of the Adriatic

    For some, Dubrovnik is the setting of Game of Thrones, but for many more, it’s the “Pearl of the Adriatic.” Dubrovnik’s sunlit, gleaming fortifications—among the best-preserved in Europe—feel like something out of a dream.

    Wander through the city’s medieval streets and admire the Assumption Cathedral, the Gothic-style Rector’s Palace, and the Dominican and Franciscan Monasteries. Walk along the Stradun, the main street, or visit Onofrio’s Fountain, which has provided mountain-fresh water for over 600 years.

    For adventurers, the blue Adriatic awaits. Set sail to nearby islands or explore the depths of the sea. Dubrovnik effortlessly merges fantasy and reality, captivating all who visit.

  • Otranto, a 
    Gem by the Sea

    Welcome to Salento, the heel of Italy, where the enchanting town of Otranto stands as Italy’s easternmost city and one of its most captivating. Once Greek, then Roman, Otranto now blends historic fortifications with whitewashed houses overlooking turquoise waters.

    Pass through the massive Porta Terra and enter a perfectly preserved old town, where every street leads to the cathedral, home to one of the world’s largest mosaics—a Tree of Life composed of nearly 800,000 tiles. Other treasures include the Church of San Pietro, the Castle of Ferdinand, and the San Nicola di Casole Monastery ruins.

    By the time you leave, you’ll understand why Otranto is known as the pearl of the southern Adriatic.
