FRANCE & ITALY EPICUREAN YACHT CRUISE
May 15 – June 1, 2027
Sail. Savor. Explore.
A women-only culinary and wine journey at sea
wrapped in luxury
Indulge in the ultimate women-only luxury sailing experience on our France & Italy Epicurean Yacht Cruise 2027, an intimate journey designed for travelers who crave exceptional cuisine, iconic destinations, and effortless elegance. Aboard a small, ultra-luxury yacht, you’ll explore the Mediterranean in a way large cruise ships simply cannot: slipping into charming harbors, glamorous seaside towns, and lesser-visited ports that feel exclusive, authentic, and refreshingly uncrowded. From the moment we gather in Malta to our final farewell in Italy, every detail of this journey is curated for comfort, connection, and indulgence.
This epicurean-focused voyage blends the very best of Italy and France, pairing world-renowned culinary regions with unforgettable coastal scenery. Sail to legendary destinations like Capri, Portofino, Saint-Tropez, and the Amalfi Coast, while also discovering hidden gems such as Ponza, Porto Venere, Sanary-sur-Mer, and Bonifacio.
Life aboard the yacht is pure luxury. All meals, beverages, gratuities, WiFi, and onboard experiences are included, allowing you to fully relax and immerse yourself in the journey. Guest chefs, live cooking demonstrations, and curated wine tastings, elevate this experience into something far beyond a traditional cruise. Combined with a generous onboard credit, pre- and post-cruise hotel stays, and seamless transfers, this is luxury travel made effortless.
Most importantly, this is a Sisterhood Travels experience: an opportunity to connect deeply with fellow women who share your love of culture, cuisine, and meaningful travel. From sunset cocktails on deck to laughter-filled dinners and unforgettable shore experiences, this 2027 epicurean yacht cruise offers not just extraordinary destinations, but the joy of traveling in true sisterhood.

Activity Level:
leisurely
This France & Italy Epicurean Yacht Cruise is thoughtfully designed for women who enjoy cultural exploration paired with the ease and elegance of small ship sailing. Life aboard the World Traveller sets a relaxed rhythm, with scenic cruising days balanced by opportunities to explore iconic coastal towns, islands, and historic ports across Italy and southern France. In true Sisterhood style, the journey allows space for connection, laughter, and reflection.
Walking & Standing
Shore excursions are optional and vary by destination, but many include guided walking tours through historic old towns, seaside villages, and cultural landmarks. Expect uneven cobblestone streets, stone staircases, narrow lanes, and occasional moderate inclines in destinations such as Taormina near Mt. Etna, Capri, Portofino, the Cinque Terre region, and hilltop ports like Bonifacio. Some excursions may involve standing for extended periods during guided tours or sightseeing stops. Walking distances are generally manageable and paced comfortably, with breaks built in.
Terrain, Transport & Accommodations
Terrain throughout the itinerary ranges from flat harbor promenades to hilly coastal paths and historic town centers with steps and uneven surfaces. The World Traveller serves as a luxurious and intimate floating hotel, offering well-appointed staterooms, attentive service, and excellent onboard dining, allowing you to return to comfort and relaxation after each day’s exploration.
Pace & Overall Experience
This itinerary offers a steady but unhurried pace, with daily port visits balanced by the restorative nature of yacht travel. Because excursions are optional, you can easily tailor each day to your personal energy level, choosing between guided sightseeing, independent exploration, or staying onboard to enjoy the ship’s amenities and coastal views. While some days involve more walking, especially in historic towns, the overall experience emphasizes balance rather than intensity.
