Either way, you'll see the Cycladic architecture and local vineyard and orchard landscapes.

    Meals

    Meals
    Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
  6. Day 6

    Syracuse

    Your ship pulls into Syracuse on Sicily's southeastern coast, and you'll have time to get a real feel for this historic city. Start by heading into Ortygia, the island district connected to the mainland where narrow streets wind between Baroque buildings and you can see the Cathedral of Syracuse up close. The waterfront area is where you'll find the best seafood restaurants, so grab lunch there if you want fresh catches prepared simply. If you're interested in going further, there's an optional guided tour to Noto, a UNESCO Heritage town about an hour away known for its golden stone architecture and local cannoli. Another option is a walking tour right in Ortygia where you'll stop at a traditional dairy to sample local produce and cheeses. Either way, you're looking at a day where you can either keep it relaxed around the harbor or venture out to see more of the region.

    Meals
    Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

    Optional Activities

    • Guided walking tour of Noto with cannoli tasting at Caffè Sicilia
    • Guided walking tour of Ortygia with local produce tasting at traditional dairy

    · September 11th, 2023
    Superb experience with professional crew and minute attention to detail. Service excellent and staff always friendly and willing to help. Cabin size more than comfortable and food/drink better than anticipated. As we were 1st time cruisers, we had some misgivings however these were quickly dispelled as we settled in to 'water magic'.

    This is the best river cruise we have had. The itinerary, staff, and organisation was excellent. The atmosphere was friendly and warm. We made some new, life-long friends. What a shame it had to end.
