7 Nights - Sample Itinerary
Day 1 - Monaco (Monte Carlo)
Embark in Monaco (Monte Carlo), second to the Vatican as the smallest independent state in Europe. Monaco-Ville is set on a rocky promontory dominating the coast. The Palace is the home of the Grimaldi family, the oldest ruling house in Europe. Monaco's nightlife ranks among the best in the world and its restaurants are a gastronomic experience. Rest and relax, then dine on board. Go ashore for some nightlife. Cruise to Portofino overnight.
Day 2 - Portofino
Portofino is known worldwide, and its calm green waters attract many yachts. People sit and chat at little café tables set about in the small decorative square surrounded by typical frescoed houses. A visit to the Hotel Splendido is a must. Spend the day and evening in Portofino. Cruise to St. Tropez overnight.
