A captivating midsummer blend of Ottoman grandeur, Greek charm, and sunlit Italian elegance begins along the banks of the Bosphorus, the iconic crossroads of East and West.

We drift through Greek islands awash in vibrant blue, before the tides guide us to the historic shores of Sicily and the lively energy of Naples. Further north, a Tuscan archipelago of secluded lagoons and chic retreats beckons, leading us to Genoa, where over a hundred Italian palaces meet a modern, bustling port.
