DAY 1

EMBARKATION - NICE, FRANCE

Embarcation	Your stateroom is ready on arrival. Your itinerary, every session, reservation, and shore excursion is already booked and loaded into the app, matched to your profile. It updates as you go.
Afternoon	The ship is docked at Port Lympia. The afternoon is unscheduled. Walk the harbor promenade into Vieux Nice, through the flower market on Cours Saleya, and up the switchbacks to Castle Hill for the long view back over the bay and the red-tiled rooftops. About 90 minutes round trip.
3 PM	Back aboard, find the juice bar on Deck 4. The citrus and basil press is the one to get this far south. Then head to the pool deck to watch the light change over the Baie des Anges.
4:30 PM Performance Center	Late afternoon: an InBody 970 scan at the Performance Center, twenty minutes, setting the baseline for your sessions this week.
7:30 PM Main Restaurant	Tonight, dinner at the main restaurant: socca, a salade niçoise built the old way, anchovy and not a green bean in sight.
Evening	Welcome reception with the Captain follows. Then the listening lounge on Deck 7, and the lights of Nice sliding away as the ship turns west toward Corsica.
Late Night	Tomorrow has an early start. The cabin is dark and cool: blackout blinds, a mattress that supports without announcing itself, linens cool against the skin, filtered air, and a pillow menu that takes the question seriously. Every night on this ship is like this. Sleep well.

DAY 2

L’ÎLE-ROUSSE, CORSICA, FRANCE

6:30 AM	The cabin lights rise slowly on their own, a graduation from dark to morning that sidesteps the alarm. A gentler way to start a day.
7 AM	Breakfast aboard. Nothing heavy.
8:30 AM	Fitted bikes and a guide waiting at the marina. The route runs up into the Balagne, through Corbara, then Pigna, then the switchbacks to Sant'Antonino, a stone village so high and so old it's hard to believe anyone built it there on purpose. About three hours, mostly climbing. Electric bikes available.
12:30 PM	Back in town.
1 PM	Lunch ashore at Casa Corsa, on Place Paoli, a board of coppa, lonzu, and brocciu, nothing else on the menu and nothing else needed.
2:30 PM	Back aboard.
3 PM Recovery Center	Full Body MELT at the Recovery Center. Forty minutes of connective tissue release to loosen the fascia and mobilize the fluid that three hours of climbing will have compressed into the legs, the necessary first step before the next session can do its work.
3:45 PM Recovery Center	NormaTec compression session. Pneumatic sleeves inflate sequentially from foot to hip, flushing out what the MELT has mobilized and accelerating lymphatic drainage the rest of the way. Thirty minutes, and the heavy-legged feeling is largely gone. Drink freely from the filtered water stations throughout, both sessions pull fluid and the dehydration risk is real.
5:30 PM Sun Deck	Sun deck, an hour before dinner.
7:30 PM Pool Grill	Dinner aboard at the pool grill.
9:30 PM Games Lounge	Mahjong and backgammon night in the games lounge on Deck 5. Custom sets, weighted tiles, a games host running an open tutorial before free play. First-timers welcome.

DAY 3

OLBIA, SARDINIA, ITALY (overnight)

7:30 AM Ships Bow	Sunrise yoga on the ship's bow. Thirty minutes, open to all levels, mobility and breath work, nothing strenuous, designed to open the hips and shoulders.
8:15 AM	Breakfast aboard: a protein bowl built from your profile, already ordered, alongside fresh fruit, good bread, and something green to drink.
9 AM Performance Center	One-on-one Personal Training session at the Performance Center, built around your InBody results from Day 1. Forty-five minutes.
11 AM Recovery Center	Infrared sauna, forty minutes; wavelengths penetrate roughly 1.5 inches into muscle tissue rather than just heating the surface, loosening tension and stimulating collagen. You'll sleep well tonight.
1 PM Pool Grill	Lunch aboard at the pool grill. Protein forward. Light.
2:30 PM	Ashore on foot into Olbia: the Basilica di San Simplicio, eleventh century and built in part from stones the Romans and Nuragic people left behind, then Corso Umberto for the market and the afternoon crowd.
7:30 PM	Dinner ashore at L'Essenza Bistrot, the seafood tasting menu, carasau bread, whatever came off the boats that morning. Your reservation is already made; word has gotten out.
9:30 PM Sports Bar	Back aboard. The Sports Bar on Deck 6: the Sailing World Cup on one screen, the French Open on the other, low light and good leather. Ichnusa on tap, and a cocktail list the bartender rebuilds every few days around whatever's in season, tonight it's mirto and blood orange. The ship stays in port overnight.

DAY 4

OLBIA, SARDINIA, ITALY

7:30 AM	Breakfast aboard. Nothing more strenuous than that.
9 AM	Two options this morning. For golfers: transfer, about thirty minutes, to Pevero Golf Club, Porto Cervo. Tee off at 9:30am, eighteen holes, par 72, Robert Trent Jones Sr.: granite outcrops, wild myrtle, the sea visible from nearly every hole. The resident pro is available for a lesson or a round. Lunch on the clubhouse terrace; transfer back to the ship by 3:00pm. For non-golfers: transfer to the Arzachena Archaeological Park. The ship's naturalist leads the group through Nuraghe La Prisgiona and along a granite-grove trail to the Tomba dei Giganti di Coddu Vecchiu, a Bronze Age burial monument from roughly 2500 BC, with the stillness of a place that old. A short restorative movement session among the stones, then lunch at Ristorante La Rocca da Chiara. Transfer back to the ship by 3:00pm.
3:30 PM Recovery Center	Hydrotherapy at the Recovery Center, jets, heat, a full-body circuit that addresses the back and hips specifically. Forty-five minutes.
5:30 PM Pool Deck	Pool deck cocktails before dinner.
7:30 PM Main Restaurant	Dinner aboard at the main restaurant: culurgiones, Sardinian pasta filled with potato and pecorino, then grilled sea bass with capers and Pantelleria olives.
9:30 PM Sun Deck	A Sardinian folk trio sets up on the sun deck as the ship prepares to sail, launeddas, frame drum, guitar, building into a tarantella that doesn't really allow for spectators. Open bar, no formal program, dancing more or less mandatory by the second song. Sail-away from Olbia as it's going.

DAY 5

PORTOFERRAIO, ELBA, ITALY (overnight)

7:30 AM	The ship is alongside by 7:30am. No excursion this morning, no program until you want one.
9 AM Recovery Center	Thalassotherapy at the Recovery Center, a heated seawater circuit of pools, pressure jets, and a mineral algae wrap. About ninety minutes; skin nourishment and a reduction in joint stiffness and muscle tension that tends to last a day or two.
11 AM Recovery Center	Sound bath in the Recovery Center: forty-five minutes of crystal singing bowls tuned to frequencies that activate the parasympathetic nervous system. The stress leaves somewhere in the first twenty minutes. Bring nothing. Lie flat.
1 PM Main Restaurant	Lunch aboard, light and protein-forward.
2:30 PM Sun Deck	The library on Deck 6, or the sun deck. Elba from the water is different from Elba on foot, and there's nowhere to be.
7 PM	Ashore to Forte Falcone, the 16th-century Medici fortress at the highest point of Portoferraio's historic center, 79 meters above the harbor. The ship hosts this private cocktail party once per voyage, for the full complement of guests. The Comune di Portoferraio opens the battlement terrace exclusively for the occasion: canapés and passed plates, bruschetta with bottarga, Elban boiled pork with wild fennel, local cheeses, alongside Aleatico, vermentino, and a long open bar. The view over the harbor, the sea, and the surrounding islands at this hour is, to use the word precisely, extraordinary.
9:30 PM	Back aboard. The ship stays in port tonight.

DAY 6

PORTOFERRAIO, ELBA, ITALY

7:30 AM	Breakfast aboard. Nothing strenuous beforehand.
9 AM	Transfer, about twenty minutes, to Marciana, at the foot of Monte Capanne.
9:30 AM	Guided hike to the summit, the highest point in the Tuscan Archipelago, two and a half hours up through chestnut woods and granite, Corsica visible to the west on a clear day.
12 PM	Summit. Fifteen minutes that are worth the climb on their own.
1 PM	Cable car down to Marciana Marina.
1:30 PM	Lunch ashore at Ristorante Capo Nord, pasta with sea herbs and bottarga, scorpionfish baked with tomato, potato, and olives, a table close enough to the water to catch the spray.
3 PM	Transfer back to the ship.
5 PM Performance Center	Reformer Pilates in the Performance Center. Fifty minutes, small group. Counterintuitive after a long descent, but the controlled eccentric work resolves the quad tightness that hiking down puts in.
7:30 PM Pool Grill	Dinner aboard at the pool grill.
9:30 PM Top Deck	Top deck dance party. A guest DJ spins (Line 8, perhaps), the lights of Portoferraio's old town and the Medici fortress lit up across the water, open bar running until whenever it stops being needed.

DAY 7

AT ANCHOR/SEA DAY

Sunrise	The ship left Portoferraio in the night and is at anchor off the Tuscan coast by morning, somewhere quiet, the kind of water that makes a swim feel like a decision you made for yourself rather than one the schedule made for you.
9 AM Marina Deck	Marina deck: kayaks, paddleboards, e-foils, snorkel gear, the swim platform down. No guide, no group, no departure time.
11 AM Recovery Center	Hot/cold plunge at the Recovery Center: three minutes of heat immersion followed by sixty seconds cold, repeated in cycles. The contrast clears metabolic waste and dials down inflammation. About twenty minutes, and the effect is immediate.
1 PM Main Restaurant	Lunch aboard at the main restaurant: the kitchen's last market sourcing from Elba, whatever was good.
2 PM	Afternoon. The library, the sun deck, optional treatments at the Wellness Center. Nothing scheduled.
8 PM Main Restaurant	Dinner aboard, the last one. A bigger table tonight with new friends, the bar running.
10 PM Top Deck & Speakeasy	Stargazing on the top deck. The ship's astronomer dims the deck lights and walks the group through what's visible from this latitude, at anchor, away from the coast, the sky is as dark as it gets. About an hour. And if you haven't already found the speakeasy, tonight is your last chance. Look for the vintage olive-green telephone, turn the switch to Crew's Mess, and enjoy.

DAY 8

DISEMBARKATION – CIVITAVECCHIA/ROME, ITALY

7 AM

The ship is alongside. Breakfast aboard, then disembarkation. Rome is an hour away, Fiumicino not much further. You'll leave fitter and quieter than you boarded, with a reasonable sense of what you'd like to do differently when you get home and, fairly likely, already thinking about when you'll do this again.
