What to expect

The highlights of this cruise

Dream landscapes, towns steeped in history and glamorous fishing villages, traditional delicacies and Mediterranean flair – look forward to charming new discoveries and legendary stretches of coastline in the western Mediterranean.

From NICE, set course for Corsica, where the harbour promenade of CALVI invites you to linger and enjoy life to the fullest. The beautiful Cote d’Azur lies at your feet in ST-TROPEZ while the landscape around enchanting SANARY-SUR-MER is not short on charm either: see for yourself on a excursion to Aix-en-Provence*, the “queen” of the region. Sample some of France’s delicacies in SETE when you reach the oyster farm in the Thau Lagoon* by boat and fall in love with the picturesque fishing village of COLLIOURE the following day. Spain and its delicious culinary specialities also welcome you with open arms. In addition to buildings from almost 2,000 years of urban history, TARRAGONA will surprise you with “wine cathedrals”*, typical Catalan wineries. The coming days, the sister islands of MENORCA and MALLORCA offer enchanted mountain worlds, long beaches and inviting island cities for you to explore. Treat yourself to another day at sea on board before your cruise ends in MALAGA.

  • Calvi is one of Corsicas most beautiful cities with a small old town filled with winding alleyways and squares dating back hundreds of years. Calvi is the ideal starting point for an excursion into the neighbouring area, especially to see the typical Corsican macchia. Macchia is an exuberant and enchanting mixture of thorn-covered and prickly sclerophyllous plants, trees, bushes and grasses. Typical plants include the common rock rose, phillyria, arbutus, myrtle, broom, buckthorn, thyme, lavender, fennel and rosemary. A special feature of Corsica are the tafoni, created by the weathering of medium to coarse-grained stones. They look somewhat like honeycomb and can be found in an extraordinary variety of shapes.

Golf pro on this cruise: Guido Tillmanns - more about our pros

This Mediterranean route takes you from the Cote d’Azur to Mallorca. In line with their geographical specifications, the golf courses are full of adventure and variety. However, the four golf courses all have one thing in common – they are a challenge for the players. In particular, controlled fairway shots are rewarded on this cruise, as the respective terrain is usually unforgiving of mistakes.

  • Wed, 20.05.2025, St-Tropez, France – Golf de Roquebrune Resort
    Not far from the Cote d’Azur town of St-Tropez, the Dutch architect Udo Barth designed a course with 18 challenging holes in a setting of mature trees back in 1988. These are now an integral part of the region’s golfing history. The challenge lies primarily in the extremely narrow access to the fairways, which have to be overcome when teeing off. You have no choice but to send the ball straight from the tee right at the start. The layout makes for a varied golfing experience on the round. The name of the game is a creative strategy and drive to conquer the challenges of this course, including the occasional dog-leg.

    Fri, 22.05.2025, Sete, France – Golf de Cap d’Adge – additional course
    These 27 holes, each divided into three nine-hole courses, are located right by the harbour. This results in three different combinations for an 18-hole game. The game is played on fairly wide fairways that are bordered by massive rough. The fairways should not be left, if possible. However, if you stay on the right path, you should be able to play a convincing round of golf. Even if the game involves a dog-leg from time to time.

    Sun, 24.05.2025, Tarragona, Spain – Infinitum Golf
    No fewer than 36 well-maintained holes, divided into a Hills and a Lakes course, work their way through the highlands of Tarragona with views of the Mediterranean. The Hills Course, which is surrounded by massive trees, contrasts with the Lakes Course, which lives up to its name surrounded by all kinds of water features. But that’s not all – you will have to deal with numerous well-placed bunkers or bunker landscapes. Nevertheless, the landing areas on the fairways always create fair opportunities to reach the target directly. As the expansive layout provides longer distances between the individual holes, a golf cart is obligatory.

    Tue, 26.05.205, Palma de Mallorca, Mallorca (Spain) – Golf Son Gual
    A real golfing challenge awaits you. The course with its 18 holes is located in the highlands of the island and features a very elaborate, interesting layout. The fairways on each hole have numerous bunkers, water areas and/or even entire bunker landscapes. In addition, the natural terrain is very undulated so you will constantly have to factor in interesting slopes during your game.s.
