VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 1: Barcelona
The old meets the new in this sunny Catalan metropolis, where narrow alleyways contrast with grand boulevards, trendy cuisine meets homemade tapas, and everywhere you’re greeted by the warm, welcoming smiles of the fashionable locals. Don’t miss UNESCO sites like the mind-boggling architecture of Antoni Gaudí or La Sagrada Familia Cathedral, with its eight decorative spires soaring hundreds of feet into the sky.
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 2: Palma de Mallorca
Mallorca is steep, green, and fringed with enticing coves and more than 200 lush beaches. But all that natural beauty is just the beginning. Stroll along the tree-shaded Paseo de Born in search of tapas. Shop for a Siurell; a traditional red, green, and white clay whistle dating back to the time of the Moors. Watch the street performers on the piazza around the church, or cross the island to beautiful Sóller. Not to be missed is the cultural landscape of the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 3: Mahon
What an entrance you will make as you cruise into one of the deepest natural harbors in the world. Picturesque Mahon is home to lovely white-sand beaches and delightful architecture, a gin distillery, and a dairy plant where delicious white cheese is made.
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 5: Calvi
The popular tourist spot of Calvi with its crescent-shaped bay and gorgeous beaches, is distinguished by a large medieval citadel that overlooks the marina.  Built between the 13th to the 16th centuries, it is basically an entire small town enclosed by fortified walls but offering panoramic views of the harbor and the Corsican coast. Another must-see is the “Big Pink Church,” Orthodox-style L’Eglise Santa Maria and  make time to take a walk along the Quai Landry esplanade, lined with interesting restaurants.
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 6: Bastia
As the principal port of Corsica, Bastia has vibrant historical neighborhoods with narrow streets and alleys between ancient shuttered buildings of the 18th century. One of the main squares is the Place du Marche, home of a morning market and the impressive 16th century Saint-Jean-Baptiste church. On the other side of the harbor sits the substantial citadel, the beautiful gardens of Jardin Romieu and the once very-elegant houses of the Terra Nova district.
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 7: Portoferraio
Pine-scented forests and miles of sandy beach await your arrival on the tranquil island of Elba. Enjoy a glass of local Moscato with the fresh catch of the day before pondering your next move. Perhaps you’ll visit the nearby countryside with its small fishing villages and dramatic mountain passes. Or see the calming beauty of Tuscan Archipelago National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.  Or maybe you’ll decide to walk to the nearest beach and dip your toes into the warm Mediterranean.
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 8: Rome
In this enchanting city the past and present intersect in perfect harmony. Casually intermingled among ancient ruins and majestic cathedrals are the trappings of a modern metropolis: Skyscrapers,cafes, boutiques selling designer footwear. But of course what you seek first in the heart of Rome is its breathtaking history.  A good place to begin is the Vatican, with its Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica. Works by Bernini, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, and Raphael are just a few of those on display, any one of which is worth hours of contemplation. Then the ancient ruins—Colosseum, Forum, Circus Maximus. And of course the Trevi Fountain for the obligatory coins promising your return to the Eternal City.

“Every call is just a bit different, with its own unique flavor.”
Our Storyteller: Kelly Hubbard
Director, Product Development
Kelly Hubbard has spent her career in the travel industry and, when pressed, honestly cannot think of anything else she’d rather do. For nearly 10 years she has crisscrossed the globe in search of new tours and engaging shore experiences for Windstar guests, and also plays an integral role in planning the itineraries. Kelly’s travels have taken her to the Mediterranean “more times than I can count,” including all around Spain, France, and Italy. Her favorite souvenirs: “Wine, olive oil, and beautiful scarves.” Must-order meal: “Tapas Jamon and olives in Spain; pasta is a given in Italy. In France, I keep it basic: local meats and cheeses, and amazing fresh breads.” Travel must-have: “My little point-and-shoot camera … I see so much so fast, the photos are like a journal at the end of my trips.”
  • Shop for foodstuffs in Bastia — “I love to browse the beautifully displayed stalls at the central market, and always bring a few bottles of the local wine home to share with friends”
  • Explore Calvi’s 13th century Citadel and rampart walls, then get a different perspective from the café-lined promenade along Landry Quay
  • Head out into the scenic countryside of Portoferraio for a wine and cheese tasting at La Chiusa Estate, which overlooks the harbor — “It’s the perfect spot for a selfie with Wind Star in the background”
  • Contemplate the Colosseum and other timeless treasures of eternal Rome — although Kelly’s favorite thing to do is “sit at an outdoor café in one of the squares, sip a glass of nice local wine, and just people watch”
