Nice to Palma de Mallorca - 8 Day Sailing Cruise

Departure 07.00 pm Spend the day sunbathing, enjoy the fresh wind breeze, and relax into the day!

Climbing the rigging, untying ropes, setting sails – today is all about sailing. Time to lean back and relax in the deck chair and watch the passionate crew hoisting the sails by hand.

Arrival 08.00 am, Departure 06.00 pm Marseille is the oldest and second largest city in France boasting the country's most important port and is like an enormous amphitheater on the Golfe du Lion looking out to the Mediterranean. Europeans and Africans have rubbed shoulders here for over 2600 years and the cultures mix like the different fish in a Bouillabaisse. With its imposing town houses, 'La Canebière' is the central boulevard leading to the old port where a lively fish market takes place every day. Marseille is a town in flux: The notorious old district of Panier has long since been cleaned up, and in 1995, the multicultural metropolis saw work begin on Euroméditerranée, the largest urban development project in Europe. Marseille was the European Capital of Culture in 2013.

Arrival 08.00 am, Departure 01.30 pm "Would you like some more water? The Mediterranean Sea on one side, the lagoon on the other, a network of canals in the town center – Sète is so maritime that even the cemetery offers sea views. Fishing still plays an important role here. When the cutters enter the harbor, chased by screeching seagulls, it is always an impressive spectacle. Seafood lovers definitely get their money's worth here: along the canals, which give the city a feathery Italian flair, fish restaurants serve the freshest oysters, stuffed squid or juicy tuna steaks.

Arrival 08.00 am, Departure 06.00 pm Wide sandy beaches, clear water, sheltered rocky coves and plenty of sunshine – it's no wonder that tourism is one of Palamós' mainstays. The other important industry in the small Costa Brava town of 20,000 inhabitants has traditionally been fishing. Every afternoon, a fleet of fishing boat moors on the quay of the marine port – next to the pleasure boat harbor with its pretty yachts – and takes the day’s catch up to the auction hall. Palamós is also the perfect starting point for cultural excursions: Medieval Girona, with its walkable city walls, and Salvador Dalí's hometown of Figueres, are not far away.

Arrival 02.00 pm Mahôn, the island's capital, has the largest natural harbor in the Mediterranean. The harbor of the former capital, Ciutadella, which translates as "tiny little town", has a picturesque setting on a fjord-like bay. It is one of the most beautiful cities in Spain and you will be enchanted by the narrow lanes in the old town, the majestic squares and the smart promenades. Menorca naturally has two sides – in the north is the wild mountain region of Tramuntana, with its ruggedly craggy coastline and hidden bays. In the south there are gentle hills with wide plains and seemingly endless sandy beaches. Listed as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, Majorca's little sister is considerably quieter and more traditional.

Arrival 08.00 am Majorca's beautiful capital is an elegant city and its picturesque old town and architectural mix of Arab, Catalan and Art Nouveau elements are part of its success story. In the center you will be lured by shops behind splendid facades, and cafés and bars set on beautiful squares invite you to stay a while. Not far from the sophisticated marina you will find the dignified cathedral, affectionately known as "La Seu" for short. With pure Gothic beginnings, none other than Antonio Gaudi created part of its interior at the start of the 20th century.
