16 Nights on Star Legend
Sail between Corsican coastlines, Sicilian splendors, and time-honored Sardinian dishes during this 16-night cruise along Italy's western and southern coastlines. Watch glowing lava reflect off volcanic steam during a scenic evening cruise around smoldering Stomboli. Snorkel above colorful fish off the coast of Lipari, the largest of the remote Aeolian Islands. Learn the techniques and key ingredients essential for preparing authentic Sicilian cuisine from a skilled chef near Trapani. Wander quiet, narrow cobbled lanes winding throughout the heights of Bonifacio, a towering walled Medieval town with sweeping seaside views of the Corsican coastline. Venture beyond the ancient outskirts of Alghero and meet a local shepherd who teaches you traditional techniques for transforming sheep's milk into tart and tasty Sardinian pecorino cheese--a revered 5,000-year-old culinary tradition.

Palermo, the vibrant capital of Sicily, is a city where history, culture, and flavor come alive. Known for its stunning mix of Arab-Norman architecture, bustling markets, and rich culinary traditions, it offers a unique blend of Mediterranean charm and timeless heritage. From ornate cathedrals and grand theaters to lively piazzas and street food stalls, Palermo is a feast for the senses and a true gateway to Sicily’s soul.

At once ancient and contemporary, Trapani is a city of contrasts. From the salt marshes that produce much of the Mediterranean's signature colored salts, to the intricate mosaics of Mozia and the famous wines of Marsala, to the best view in all of Sicily from the medieval hill town of Erice where the colorful gardens are rivaled only by the cannolis for pure sensory delight. The line of 17th century windmills, still hard at work in ancient Phoenician salt marshes beckons you to return to Trapani again and again.
