Sit back and watch skilled deckhands as they scale the masts that reach 180 feet high and set the sails on what is the finest hand-sailed square-rigger of our age. if the winds are favorable, we should be sailing by the Aeolian island of Stromboli where we can see the regular, and mild, eruption of the island’s famous volcano

Located in a natural amphitheater on the Northeastern region of Mount Etna, il picciolo meanders through ancient lava flows, and offers spectacular views of snow-covered mount etna. Hazelnut trees, oak woods, pine trees, eucalyptus, and vineyards surround the holes. This parkland layout, which opened in 1989, makes full use of the natural topography, creating a unique and unforgettable playing experience, and presenting a fine test of golf for our first round on the island. 

Tour: Mount Etna

Our tour of Mount Etna leads us up the lava flows and snow-covered slopes to explore one of europe’s natural wonders. After our memorable visit there, we have plenty of time to explore the romantic winding streets of taormina, a town often compared to positano and eze, france.

One of the results is the delicious chocolate specialties for which Modica is known.

Golf: Verdura Golf Resort (East Course)

Verdura is the culmination of Sir Rocco Forte’s dream of creating europe’s finest golf destination.

Phillips decided to incorporate the best holes and terrain across both courses giving them both tremendous seaside closing runs. Our first round is on the east course where natural undulations make this a memorable layout. Number 17 leads you to the foot of a hillside, before your dramatic finish along the craggy coastline.

Tour: Mandranova

We visit this stylish, country farmhouse just before the start of the olive harvest season when the farm’s 10,000 olive trees are bursting with fruit and delicious aromas. We’ll start our morning with our hosts, Sylvia and Giuseppe di Vincenzo gathering fresh produce and ingredients to help us prepare some authentic Sicilian cuisine that we can easily reproduce at home. Giuseppe’s enthusiasm is infectious as he introduces us to the estate’s award winning olive oils, which enhance our appreciation for this staple of Italian cooking.

Golfers will not be disappointed as they return to Verdura for a second round of golf—but this time on the West course. The West garnered the highest rating among Italy’s golf courses in the newly published “Rolex World’s Top 1,000 Golf Courses.” the highlight of the day is certain to be the final four holes, a stirring collection of seaside holes culminating with the spectacular 18 played from a tee built on a promontory next to the sea.

September 22: Valletta, Malta – Home

We bid farewell to Sea Cloud II and her crew as we disembark and transfer to the Valletta Airport for return flights home.

Sea Cloud II

Sea Cloud II

 The SEA CLOUD II can be recognised as the true sister ship of the legendary SEA CLOUD, but has its own, very unique character. It combines the high standards expected of a modern cruise ship with the unique atmosphere of a romantic tall ship.

A windjammer gives you that feeling of boundless freedom – a feeling that reaches its pinnacle as you sail the seas under open skies. But this is a feeling that pervades the SEA CLOUD II at all times, manifested in the on-board lifestyle and forged by the expansive space of the four decks, the relaxed social atmosphere and the space for private contemplation.
