Explore the
TYRRHENIAN SEA
On Board M/Y Star Flyer
Monte Carlo • Corsica
Sardinia • Tuscany

May 28–June 5, 2010

Discover the magic of islands and historic lands edging the Tyrrhenian Sea on this magnificent voyage from Monte Carlo to Corsica, Sardinia, Tuscany, and the Riviera!

We will travel on board the 4-masted tall ship M/Y Star Flyer, one of the largest sailing yachts in the world (which we have thoroughly enjoyed in Tahiti the last two winters!). Now, we are in luck. This 360-foot yacht has sailed to the western Mediterranean for the summer season. What a wonderful opportunity to reach relatively inaccessible locations, such as Corsica and Sardinia, sailing these ancient waters of the Romans, Tuscans, and Genoese. Only on a magnificent sailing vessel like Star Flyer can one explore in such style, with comfortable cabins in all categories, outstanding dinners, and a delightful array of optional excursions on shore!

On this 9-day adventure, we will explore ports along the edges of the Tyrrhenian Sea, taking in the historic and natural sites of interest. There will be opportunities to discover ancient Roman and Genoese cities, to amble through towns, hike into the high country, discover ancient prehistoric Nuraghic sites on Sardinia, and explore the undersea world while snorkeling and swimming.

Our itinerary will include ports and islands of renown in the western Mediterranean—Monte Carlo, Corsica, Sardinia, the Tuscan Coast, and Cannes, playground of the rich and famous. We will delight in the wonderful atmosphere as we explore each city and island, and relive the rich cultural heritage of the area. We will make landfall in some of the best locations to explore historic citadels and breathtaking beaches with a stunning backdrop of mountain peaks.

Please join us as we discover the magic of the islands and historic lands of the Tyrrhenian Sea!
