Spain, Italy & Greece Featuring Istanbul

Enjoy the scenic beauty and laid-back culture of the Cote d'Azur in idyllic Villefranche-sur-Mer.

Once an insignificant fishing village, this jet set haven became popular as an artists' colony in the late 19th century. But it was Roger Vadim's movie, And God Created Woman, filmed here with Brigitte Bardot, that brought about the international cult of Tropezian sun, sex and celebrities. Located at the end of its own peninsula, St. Tropez suddenly became the talk of the jet set, which propelled the tiny port into world fame. A hundred years ago not even a proper road led to St. Tropez; access was mainly by boat. Novelist Guy de Maupassant sailed his yacht into the port in 1880. The neo-Impressionist painter Paul Signac followed, as did a number of other famous artists and writers. By the time of World War I, St. Tropez was well established as a hangout for Bohemians. The old part surrounding the harbour is the focal point. Here, narrow streets are packed between Quai Jean Jaurès, Place des Lices and what is left of the 16th-century citadel. The harbour is filled with sleek, gleaming yachts that have replaced the simple fishing boats. Pastel-coloured houses ring the waterfront, presenting the classic St. Tropez impression of sidewalk cafés and small boutiques with the latest fashions.

Corsica's northern capital, Bastia, is the center of commerce and industry and a thriving freight and passenger port. Commerce, more than tourism, is its main focus, providing employment for many Corsicans. Bastia's industrial sprawl is offset by its aged charm. The presence of an overwhelming Italian character adds to the city's attraction.

Alghero, a picturesque coastal town on the northwest coast of Sardinia, Italy, enchants visitors with its Mediterranean charm and rich history.

Mahón, the charming capital of Menorca, is a hidden Mediterranean gem known for its serene harbour, historic architecture and rich tapestry of cultures.

Nothing if not strategic, Alcúdia is the ideal base for exploring Mallorca's north coast, with the 13-km-long (8-mile-long) beach from Port d'Alcúdia to C'an Picafort and the adjacent Playa de Muro, the bird-watchers' paradise in the S'Albufera wetlands, and the spectacular drive along the corniche to Cap de Formentor. The charming little walled town itself is a capsule version of Mallorcan history: the first city here was a Roman settlement, in 123 BC.

The infinite variety of street life, the nooks and crannies of the medieval Barri Gòtic, the ceramic tile and stained glass of Art Nouveau facades, the art and music, the throb of street life, the food (ah, the food!)—one way or another, Barcelona will find a way to get your full attention. The capital of Catalonia is a banquet for the senses, with its beguiling mix of ancient and modern architecture, tempting cafés and markets, and sun-drenched Mediterranean beaches. A stroll along La Rambla and through waterfront Barceloneta, as well as a tour of Gaudí's majestic Sagrada Famíliaand his other unique creations, are part of a visit to Spain's second-largest city. Modern art museums and chic shops call for attention, too. Barcelona's vibe stays lively well into the night, when you can linger over regional wine and cuisine at buzzing tapas bars.

Palamós, nestled along the scenic Costa Brava in northeastern Spain, is a charming coastal town that beckons with its authentic Mediterranean allure.

Sète, often hailed as the Venice of Languedoc, is a charming port town in southern France, crisscrossed by a network of canals and bridges.

A day at sea aboard Silver Shadow is an invitation to slow down, savour the moment and enjoy life at your own pace. The morning might begin with breakfast delivered to your suite by your butler, perhaps enjoyed on your private veranda with sweeping ocean views or savoured from the comfort of your bed as the sun slowly rises over the water. Freshly baked pastries, tropical fruits and a steaming pot of coffee taste all the better when accompanied by uninterrupted ocean views. For guests who prefer a more active start, the Fitness Centre offers state-of-the-art equipment and inspiring sea views, while yoga or Pilates classes provide the perfect balance of movement and mindfulness. As the day unfolds, you may find yourself seeking quieter pleasures. The Observation Library is a serene sanctuary where wide windows frame endless stretches of sea, and books line the shelves, inviting you to lose yourself in a story. Others may prefer a more social morning, joining fellow guests for a friendly game of bridge in the Card Room, or browsing the Boutique for elegant fashions, jewellery and fragrances. Lunchtime brings the chance to indulge in Silver Shadow’s varied dining experiences. Perhaps you choose The Restaurant for refined international cuisine with regional flair, or La Terrazza for pasta made fresh on board and classic Italian dishes bursting with flavour. If you prefer something lighter, The Grill by the pool offers a casual setting where fresh salads and grilled favourites can be enjoyed under the open sky. Afternoons are made for leisure. You might head to the Pool Deck, where attentive staff are always on hand with chilled drinks as you relax on a sun lounger or take a dip in the refreshing pool. For a more indulgent escape, the Zagara Beauty Spa beckons with restorative massages, revitalising facials and treatments designed to refresh both body and mind. The Beauty Salon ensures you feel your best, whether you’re preparing for a glamorous evening ahead or simply treating yourself to a little pampering. As evening approaches, Silver Shadow takes on a new energy. Begin with a cocktail in the Atrium or Panorama Lounge, where soft music and lively conversation set the mood. Dinner might mean French haute cuisine at La Dame, Italian specialities at La Terrazza, or the interactive Hot Rocks experience at The Grill. From here, the night is yours to shape. Settle into the Show Lounge for an incredible performance or try your luck in the Casino. For a slower pace, the Connoisseur’s Corner offers a refined retreat where fine cognacs and premium cigars can be enjoyed in deep leather chairs.
