At 12am the ship will dock in Ajacco (Corsica) in France. Commanding a lovely sweep of bay, the city breathes confidence and has more than a whiff of the Côte d Azur. Everyone from solo travellers to romance-seeking couples and families will love moseying around the centre, replete with mellow-toned buildings and buzzing cafes not to mention its large marina. Napoléon Bonaparte was born here in 1769, and the city is dotted with sites relating to the diminutive dictator, from his childhood home to seafront statues, museums and street names.

With Mount Vesuvius (a defunct Volcano) looming in the background, join families on promenade as the sun sets on the Bay of Naples, or take an optional excursion to view the ruins of Pompeii - one of Europe s most compelling archaeological sites.

One of the most popular resort towns on the Italian Riviera, little Portofino has just over 500 permanent residents. But that all changes on summer days when the sun is shining and the yachting set drops anchor in the harbor to wander about. Boutiques, art galleries, cafes and restaurants line the tiny streets. Diving, hiking and beach-going are popular local pastimes, and there are even some historic sights like the Church of St. Martin (Divo Martino) and La Spezia (Cinque Terre), Italy Ajacco (Corsica), France
