"SICILY IS THE KEY TO EVERYTHING"

Athens to Rome

Sicily is both geographically and historically at the centre of the Mediterranean. The Phoenicians, Athenians, Romans, Arabs, Normans, Byzantines and Bourbons have all made their mark on this astonishing island. The architectural and artistic legacies left behind by these great civilisations have left Sicily with a legacy of unique buildings and archaeological sites. Sicily is a celebration of the greatest achievements of western civilisation. This cruise also includes the remarkable ruins of Pompeii and the delights of Capri.
