Sicily by Sail: Palermo to Valletta
September 24 to October 2, 2021
from $8,999
Some of the world’s most extraordinary Greek temples grace the rugged landscape of Sicily. Please join us to discover
these pearls of antiquity as we sail along the coast of the Mediterranean’s largest island aboard the elegant Sea Cloud II.
Embark our three-masted sailing yacht in Palermo, where a highlight will be the mesmerizing Palatine Chapel in the Palace
of the Norman Kings. One after the other, marvels follow, from the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento to the well-preserved
vestiges of one of the world’s most important cities of antiquity, Syracuse. Throughout our week together, Sicily will reveal
her rich and unique culture as we walk in storied cities that were once centers of the Greco-Roman, Carthaginian, and
Byzantine worlds, and are received in the dazzling private palazzi of local nobility. Disembark in Valletta, Malta, where an
optional postlude is offered.
