This is what awaits you during your one-week full-board and open-bar cruise off the coast of Sicily. Departing from Portorosa, you will explore the secrets of these 2 million year old volcanic islands. Today, the only volcanoes still active are Stromboli and Vulcano. The latter is known for its fumaroles and the benefits of its mud baths. On land, the wild and preserved nature offers you beautiful and exotic walks. You should not forget the richness of the sea bed, easily visible under translucent waters.

Itinerary

Map
Our itinerary allows you to do a complete tour of the archipelago. On the program: cultural discoveries, visits of villages, walks, swimming, snorkeling and of course relaxation!
Day 1: Portorosa - Vulcano
Meet at 1pm in the marina of Portorosa for your boarding. You board and get to know the crew. After familiarizing yourself with the boat, the skipper will cast off and set sail for Vulcano, the island of fumaroles. This volcanic island offers some unique activities to its guests. For example, you can choose between relaxing in a hot mud bath, climbing to the top of the volcano to enjoy the breathtaking view of the archipelago or snorkeling in the most beautiful bays of the island.

Day 2: Vulcano - Filicudi
Head to Filicudi, a wild island preserved from tourism. To best appreciate its island life and walk the trails at your own pace you can anchor at Pecorini a Mare or in the port of Filicudi (fee). Following the west coast, you will discover the surprising cave of Bue Marino. Once inside, you will witness an amazing light and shadow show. If you continue sailing north, you will see the impressive rock "La Canna" rising 71 meters above sea level.

Day 3: Filicudi - Alicudi
Departure to the charming and authentic island of Alicudi. It has no road therefore, the hundred or so residents help themselves with donkeys to get around. As the sea bed is particularly deep around Alicudi, your skipper will suggest you to anchor at the south-east of the island. This will allow you to disembark and visit its unique village with pastel-colored houses. You will also be able to climb to the top of the island, on Mount Filo dell'Arpa (a volcano that has been extinct for thousands of years) and enjoy an exceptional view.

Day 4: Alicudi - Salina
On this morning, you hoist the sails and head east, for a stopover in Salina. Its highest point is 961 meters high, making it the highest island in the archipelago. It has an exceptional landscape! Grapes are grown here to make the famous "Malvasia Delle Lipari" (a sweet wine) but also capers whose fame allows attracts an international market. And if at the end of the day you want to relax and bathe, Pollara is the place to be! It is also the ideal place to watch the sun set on the horizon.

Day 5: Salina - Stromboli - Panarea
Impossible to sail in this archipelago without passing by Stromboli. The skipper will suggest you to go and observe the "Sciata di Fuoco", a natural path of sorts that the lava has created for itself over the millennia to reach the sea. Anchoring in front of the port of Ginostra, you will discover one of the many black sand beaches of the island. This will also be an opportunity to stop in a restaurant to taste the local dishes (cannoli, arancini...). Snorkeling enthusiasts should not miss a stopover on the islet Basiluzzo (located northeast of Panarea). You can anchor in front of Panarea for the night.

Day 6: Panarea - Lipari
Welcome to Panarea, the smallest island in the Aeolian Islands. Here again, the clear waters will delight lovers of the underwater world. The charming bay of Cala Junco is one of the best snorkeling spots thanks to its blue-green water. To explore the island and visit the main village with white houses, San Pietro, we suggest you anchor right in front of it. On land, you will have a nice view of Stromboli. You will then head to Lipari, the largest island in the archipelago.

Day 7: Lipari - Portorosa
Lipari has many historical, architectural and cultural treasures (citadel, cathedral, museum...) that you will discover while walking around its town. The island is also known for its ancient pumice stone quarries. You will find them by going up the east coast of the island. Take the opportunity to refresh yourself by jumping into the water and admiring the incredible panorama of the archipelago before starting the return trip to Portorosa. Your arrival at the marina is scheduled no later than 5:00 pm.

Day 8: Portorosa
You will disembark after breakfast at 9am.
