6-night historic gulet cruise from Nice to Valencia
Embark on an unforgettable 6-night journey aboard the Santa Maria Manuela, sailing from the elegant city of Nice on the French Riviera to Valencia, Spain's city of contrasts.
Before setting sail, explore Nice's rich maritime history, stroll along the Promenade des Anglais, wander through Vieux Nice with its charming narrow streets and vibrant markets, or visit the United Nations Ocean Conference exhibitions to learn about the beauty and fragility of our waters and what we can do to protect them.
With our heads filled with the colours of the French Riviera, we set sail southwest to Valencia. Volunteer to help the crew hoist and unfurl the sails: the sensation of steering a 68-metre sailboat and feeling its response to the helm is something to savour forever. Our crew love nothing more than sharing their sailing knowledge with guests, and will encourage you to take an active part in the sailing of the boat.
Knots lessons offer the opportunity to learn a new skill while sharing sailing stories with your fellow sailors, and weather permitting, there is the opportunity to climb the mast or relax on the bowsprit. A sunset drink on deck is the perfect way to end each day.
Our Mediterranean adventure concludes in Valencia, Spain's city of contrasts, where the charming old town coexists with futuristic buildings. This vibrant city can be explored on foot, with the temptation of paella always present. Don't miss the Plaza de la Reina, with the Cathedral and the Miguelete Tower offering beautiful views, the Lonja de la Seda, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or the modernist Mercado Central, Europe's largest fresh produce market.
When you arrive in Valencia, it's time to celebrate. Share anecdotes from your trip with your fellow passengers at our barbecue on deck before disembarking.
