Rivieras & Islands of the Mediterranean

This relaxed early‑autumn sailing is shaped around warm seas, unhurried days ashore and ports that reward a slower pace. Spend time discovering the character of coastal Portugal and Spain, where colourful waterfronts, historic towns and wide promenades set the rhythm of the journey. As your journey continues, the quieter charm of the French and Italian Rivieras comes into focus, with opportunities for scenic strolling, cultural visits and gentle coastal exploration once the summer crowds have lessened. A series of island calls adds further variety, from laid‑back Mediterranean favourites to lesser‑visited ports best suited to smaller ships, including Propriano and Milazzo, a maiden call for Balmoral. Scenic sailing brings memorable views along dramatic coastlines, before your journey draws to a close with historic harbours, sun‑warmed cities and a final taste of island life in the eastern Mediterranean.
