Cruise from the lovely Balearic island of Menorca, with its lush vegetation and inviting architecture, to the spectacular cliff-side setting of Corsica’s Bonifacio. Spend a magical day exploring Sicily, featuring the medieval town of Erice and the temple of Segesta, and time on the nearby island nation of Malta.
