6 Days 5 Nights

Calvi to Bonifacio

Itinerary Overview

Corsica’s western coastline stretches from Calvi through the Scandola region, the Gulf of Ajaccio, and the Gulf of Valinco before reaching the limestone cliffs of Bonifacio. This six-day route connects remote natural landscapes, historic towns, quiet anchorages, and clear-water island cruising. From the red cliffs surrounding Girolata and Scandola to Ajaccio’s waterfront, and from Propriano’s sheltered gulf to the Lavezzi Islands, each stop reveals a different side of Corsica. The route is ideal for guests looking for nature-led cruising, swimming, snorkelling, hiking, local cuisine, and quieter evenings onboard.
