Bonifacio, France
Today, the ship arrives in Bonifacio on the French island of Corsica. Your discovery of this dramatically situated medieval town begins with a tram ride from the harbor to the Haute Ville, or upper town, and around the plateau to savor panoramic views. You will then stroll through Bonifacio’s ninth-century citadel, perched high on a limestone promontory, to see historic landmarks such as Place Bir Hakeim, St. Jean Baptiste church and Le Grain de Sable — a weathered rock formation that appears to collapse into the sea. Enjoy the Jardin des Vestiges and see the house where Napoleon stayed.

Enjoy breakfast with views of Sorrento, an outpost of the ancient Roman Republic and the scenic gateway to Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii.

You will have the option to return to the ship for lunch or stay in Sorrento for lunch on your own. Shuttle buses will provide transportation from the port to the Sorrento city center. Later this afternoon, immerse yourself in Sorrento’s local traditions on a walking tour that includes a chance to learn the secrets of limoncello and experience a tasting of the popular Italian liqueur.

Disembark this afternoon for a tour of captivating Capri, the island where, legend has it, Homer’s Odysseus resisted the alluring call of the sirens. Visit the Augustus Gardens, a series of serene, flower‑filled terraces that have breathtaking panoramas of the Faraglioni rock formations rising from translucent waters and the craggy peak of Mount Solaro, the highest point on the island. You will also see the ancient perfumery of Carthusia — the smallest fragrance laboratory in the world.
