From Rome to the Riviera

Rome’s world-renowned attractions await! Bursting at the seams with history, you might find it hard to decide what to see first. From St Peter's Basilica, the Trevi Fountain and the Sistine Chapel to the iconic Colosseum, every corner reveals another masterpiece.

Make sure to tick off the last of Rome’s highlights before making your way to the nearby port of Civitavecchia, where The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s luxurious vessel, Evrima, is waiting to greet you. You are scheduled to sail at 6 pm.

Popular with Italian holidaymakers yet still largely undiscovered by international visitors, Porto Santo Stefano is a coastal gem where sparkling turquoise waters meet rugged cliffs and colourful houses cascade towards the harbour below. Explore the scenic shoreline, soak up sweeping sea views and glimpse the islands that dot the horizon, heralding the beginning of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park.

Arrive at the largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, a beautiful land-and-marine park nestled between mainland Italy, Corsica and the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian seas. Overlooking a sparkling natural harbour, the island's principal town unfolds across the hillside, where pastel-hued buildings, imposing Medici fortifications and traces of Napoleon's legacy combine to create a captivating first impression. Discover the sun-drenched coastline or venture inland to explore the island's rugged beauty along its network of scenic hiking trails. Take in spectacular panoramic views after ascending more than 1,000 metres by cable car to the summit of Monte Capanne, then reward yourself with freshly caught seafood and local specialities, perfectly paired with a glass of Elban wine.

In a region peppered with enchanting Tuscan towns, Livorno serves as both a vibrant coastal destination and a gateway to some of Italy's most celebrated sights. Discover its elegant seafront, historic canals and bustling markets, or seek out the Renaissance splendours of Florence and the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Portofino is a photographer's dream, with its picturesque, pastel-coloured houses cascading towards a charming harbour where luxury yachts bob alongside traditional fishing boats. While the town’s stunning setting is reason enough to linger, there’s also much to explore - wander up to Castello Brown or the Church of St George for breathtaking harbour views, cruise along the coast to the charming Abbey of San Fruttuoso, or delve into the rich maritime heritage of Genoa. Alternatively, journey to the famed Cinque Terre, where five colourful villages hug rugged cliffs above the shimmering Ligurian Sea.

Your next stop is one of the French Riviera's most glamorous destinations, famed for its annual film festival and luxurious lifestyle. Stroll along the Promenade de la Croisette, a place to see and be seen, pausing to browse designer boutiques or dine in one of the many elegant eateries. Discover its historic quarter, where cobblestone streets part to reveal views of the city below, or journey to nearby Monte Carlo, home to the legendary Casino de Monte-Carlo, opulent Belle Époque architecture and a sophisticated yacht-filled harbour. Travel inland to visit Grasse, the world's perfume capital, for a fragrant glimpse into Provence's rich heritage.

Synonymous with Riviera sophistication, Saint-Tropez has evolved from a humble fishing village into one of the Mediterranean's most sought-after destinations, drawing everyone from Hollywood stars to royalty with its irresistible blend of coastal beauty, exclusivity and Provençal charm. You have a full day to soak up its unique ambience and embrace the effortless joie de vivre that defines this iconic corner of the French Riviera.

Your cruise comes to an end in Monaco’s best-known district, the glamorous Monte Carlo. Bid farewell to your luxurious home at sea as Evrima docks alongside some of the world's most spectacular superyachts, then check into the exclusive Hotel Metropole Monte Carlo for a three-night stay.

With an array of exceptional amenities at your fingertips, including a serene spa and the two-Michelin-starred Les Ambassadeurs by Christophe Cussac, you may find it difficult to tear yourself away from the hotel. Fortunately, the expert concierge can curate a host of extraordinary experiences to tempt you out, whether that means soaring above the Riviera by helicopter, exploring the coastline by private yacht or crossing the border into Italy for the day. Come evening, follow in the footsteps of royalty, celebrities and high-rollers alike with a visit to Monte Carlo's legendary casino.
