10 Days Mediterranean Yacht, incl. French Riviera and Balearic Islands
A 10-day luxury cruise connects key destinations across France, Italy, and Spain. The route from Barcelona weaves through Saint-Tropez, Porto Cervo, and the Balearic Islands, concluding in Palma de Mallorca. Guests spend 9 nights aboard Emerald Sakara, stopping at Monte Carlo's casino district and Calvi's white beaches.
- Day 1
Barcelona, Spain
Get to Barcelona before 1:00 PM for a smooth embarkation. If you're flying from overseas consider staying in the Gothic Quarter the night before to adjust to the time change. The port is about 30 minutes from the airport but allow extra time during rush hour.
- Day 2
Port-Vendres, France
This authentic French fishing town offers a quieter experience than nearby Collioure. Visit the fish market early around 7:00 AM to see local boats bring in their catch. The heritage trail is best explored in the morning before the narrow streets heat up. Wear good walking shoes for the cobblestones.
- Day 3
Saint-Tropez, France
Welcome to the heart of the French Riviera. Summer gets busy between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM so plan your Pampelonne Beach visit for early morning or late afternoon. The tender ride takes about 15 minutes to shore. Remember that shops typically close for lunch from 12:30-2:30 PM.
- Day 4
Monte Carlo, Monaco
Monaco is easy to explore on foot but be ready for steep streets. The Casino opens at 2:00 PM and requires your passport. No shorts or sneakers allowed. The Grand Prix circuit is best walked early before traffic picks up.
- Day 5
Calvi, Corsica
Start with the citadel climb for great views before it gets hot. Check out the morning market in Place Paoli which runs until 1:00 PM for local specialties. Bring water shoes for the pebbly beaches.
- Day 6
Porto Cervo, Italy
This upscale Sardinian port is known for its expensive marina. The harbor looks beautiful at sunset when all the mega-yachts light up. Skip the touristy Piazzetta and explore the old quarter for more authentic Italian spots.
- Day 7
At Sea
Take advantage of the yacht's amenities today. The infinity pool is usually quiet early morning. If you get seasick stick to mid-ship areas when the afternoon winds pick up and make the water choppy.
- Day 8
Mahón, Menorca, Spain
Explore one of the world's deepest natural harbors. The yellow water taxi runs every 30 minutes and gives you great views. Visit local markets before 10:00 AM to avoid the cruise ship crowds.
- Day 9
Ibiza, Spain
There's more to Ibiza than nightlife. Visit Dalt Vila (the old town) in the morning. The uphill walk pays off with amazing views. Book popular beach clubs ahead in July and August.
- Day 10
Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Schedule your departure flight after 12:00 PM to allow time for disembarkation. Summer weekends get very busy at the airport so plan extra time.
10 Days Mediterranean Yacht, incl. Balearic Islands and French Riviera
The 10-day Mediterranean odyssey spans 4 countries, from Spain's Balearic Islands to Monaco's glamorous Monte Carlo. Porto Cervo's yacht-filled marina, Saint-Tropez's Pampelonne Beach, and Calvi's historic citadel highlight the trip. Emerald Sakara hosts 100 passengers, serving 26 gourmet meals.
- Day 1
Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Plan to arrive by 2 PM for boarding procedures. Take time to see the Gothic La Seu cathedral. The rose window looks best in late afternoon light. Skip the busy marina area and spend your free time in the quieter Born district.
- Day 2
Ibiza, Spain
The sail to Ibiza takes 4 hours. Start your day in the UNESCO-listed Dalt Vila before it gets too hot. The steep cobblestone streets of the Old Town are best explored in the morning. Bring water shoes if you plan to visit the rocky beaches at Cala Salada.
- Day 3
Mahón, Menorca
You'll sail into one of the world's deepest natural harbors. The city rises up from the port in levels, showing off its British-influenced Georgian buildings. Take the Baixamar steps down to the harbor front. There are 200 steps down but a lift for the return trip. Local gin distilleries welcome visitors until 6 PM.
- Day 4
At Sea
You'll spend the day crossing to Sardinia. The water can get rough between the Balearics and Sardinia. If you get seasick easily, choose a midship cabin on a lower deck. Keep an eye out for dolphins, which often swim in these waters.
- Day 5
Porto Cervo, Italy
The emerald coast is as beautiful as its name suggests. Get to the marina early, as it fills with large yachts in summer. The Piazzetta gets busy after 7 PM when shops open late. Walk 10 minutes inland to find authentic Sardinian food at family restaurants away from tourist spots.
- Days 6-7
Calvi to Monte Carlo
You'll sail along Corsica's rocky coast before heading to Monaco. Visit Calvi's citadel in the morning before it gets hot. Remember the casino's strict dress code in Monte Carlo. Get there before 8 PM to avoid long waits.
- Day 8
Saint-Tropez, France
