Cruise Description This cruise, will cultivate the art of peaceful travel as well as a family spirit, thanks to its customised activities on board and on shore for youngsters*, with the Kid Explorers Club.

From the pearl of the French Riviera, set sail on a 9-day cruise in the Mediterranean. Aboard Le Boréal, discover the Isle of Beauty and the captivating shores of northwest Italy during an unforgettable trip.

Throughout your journey, you will benefit from an excursion included per person per port of call, to choose from a selection offered by PONANT. During this cruise, dive into the teeming waters of the wild Revellata peninsula at the gates of Calvi, discover the Villa Dei Mulini, Napoleon’s former winter residence in Portoferraio, or set off to discover the captivating nature of Portofino. The diversity of experiences on offer promises you intense and varied moments.

From Nice, you will set a course towards the northern coastlines of Corsica to reach Saint-Florent. At the foot of the mountains of Cap Corse and the Agriates desert, the beauty of the landscapes gives this ancient Genoese city a picture-postcard appearance. Further south, Propriano amazes with its rich history and surprises with its incredible beauty. Here, the coastline edging the scrubland, with its distinctly Mediterranean scents, alternates between long sandy beaches and breathtaking coves.

Le Boréal will then stop at Porto Ercole, a charming village with colourful houses, on the Monte Argentario peninsula. Here, you will have the possibility of meeting fisherman from the Orbetello Lagoon as well as local producers. The peninsula’s rolling and lush landscapes will also provide you with opportunities for magnificent hikes. Opposite the peninsula, the island of Giglio stands before you. On this mountainous land covered by garrigue on which pine forests and vineyards grow, fine sandy beaches and hidden coves compose a landscape in which the emerald sea serves as a setting for wild nature.

After a port of call at Portoferraio, a small corner of paradise on the island of Elba, where Napoleon spent many days in exile, stop in Portofino. Built in a natural harbour protected by a pine forest, it is a picturesque and lively port that has successfully retained its authenticity and traditions.

Your ship will make its way to Calvi, in the heart of the Balagne region. Between jagged peaks and sublime beaches with turquoise waters, you will enjoy the experience of wild and authentic Corsica.

Your cruise will end in Nice, famous for its never-ending riviera.
