Brand g Vacations is proud to offer an LGBT+, inclusive, guaranteed full ship charter, Western Mediterranean cruise, an experience unlike any you’ll find on another cruise ship.

Please note, this trip has been rescheduled from 2020 due to the pandemic. Previously booked guests were given the opportunity to rebook their cabins, thus affecting the inventory available to new bookings. If your preferred accommodations are not available at the moment, we encourage you to waitlist as these cabins often open up at a later date.

We have chartered the Royal Clipper, the largest and only five-masted, full-rigged sailing ship. With a complement of 42 sails, the Royal Clipper is a splendid sight to behold. Experience the informal elegance, culinary delights, and gracious service in the intimacy of 227 gay and lesbian friends.

This cruise departs from Cannes, a perfect vacation destination due to its ideal weather conditions and glamorous harbor. Some of the most notable highlights include: beautiful Lerici, the ancient Etruscan remains at Portoferraio, the beaches of Corsica and the super-yachts of glamorous Monaco.

Itinerary

Day 1

Cannes, France

September 15, 2022

Arrive at Nice airport and transfer to the Gray d’Albion Hotel in Cannes. The balance of the day is free time to start exploring this beautiful coastal city. This evening we will gather at the hotel for a welcome reception. (Welcome Reception)

Day 2

Cannes, France

September 16, 2022

This morning’s included sightseeing reveals why Cannes is considered one of France’s most attractive cities. This afternoon you are free to explore Cannes on your own. Overnight at the Gray d’Albion Hotel. (B)

Day 3

Cannes, France

September 17, 2022

Glittering Cannes is the archetypal Mediterranean resort city, discovered by wealthy English nobles who came to the sunny south of France to escape their drafty old castles during the dreary British winters. Cannes’ high-flying lifestyle has attracted notables and the notorious ever since. Every year, the stars flock to celebrate the Cannes Film Festival at the colossal Palais des Festivals.

Enjoy breakfast and free time before we gather this afternoon to transfer to the pier and embark the Royal Clipper. After settling in to your cabin, enjoy a welcome aboard celebration, followed by dinner and Brand g signature entertainment and fun. Late tonight we set sail for Lerici. (B/D)

Day 4

Lerici, Italy

September 18, 2022

It was in the Villa Magni near Lerici that Percy Bysshe Shelley spent his last happy days before sailing his small boat on its stormy fatal voyage on July 8, 1822. Lord Byron, another Lerici literary resident, once swam across the Bay of Portovenere to visit Shelley, who was residing in San Terenzo. The small fishing villages of San Terenzo, Tellaro and Fiascherino and Montemarcello are similar to the more famous Cinque Terre. (B/L/D)

Day 5

Portoferraio (Elba), Italy

September 19, 2022

From his villa in Portoferraio, Napoleon, the exiled Emperor of France, looked out over the waiting ships in the harbour and dreamed of returning to glory. Enjoy a local vineyard tour, and near Portoferraio, discover the remains of an ancient Etruscan civilization. (B/L/D)

Day 6

Santa Manza Bay / Bonifacio, Corsica, France

November 25, 2021

Santa Manza Bay is the most famous beach in Corsica, and has justifiably been voted one of the Top 10 best beaches in Europe. Backed by mountains and pines, this is a beautiful stretch of powdery golden sand and shallow crystal clear blue water which deepens gradually. Various water sports facilities are on offer including windsurfing, jet-ski, kayaks and pedal boats, and there are plenty of snack bars nearby.

Bonifacio’s almost land-locked harbor is one of the most dramatic, totally-protected harbors. It is a bustling port, with excellent seafood restaurants and a modern marina. The ancient citadel town is perched high atop a seemingly impenetrable cliff. (B/L/D)

Day 7

Alghero, Sardinia, Italy

September 21, 2022

Alghero is the main resort in the northwest of Sardinia, and is one of Sardinia’s most beautiful medieval cities. Its bustling historic centre is packed with excellent bars and restaurants, making it a great place to hang out. It is also ideally placed for exploring the beaches of nearby Riviera del Corallo. Interestingly, a form of medieval Catalan is still spoken, even though the Iberians left three centuries ago. (B/L/D)

Day 8

Porticcio Beach / Ajaccio, Corsica, France

September 22, 2022

The resort of Porticcio is clean and modern, and there are several beaches in the town. There is a long sandy stretch called the Plage de la Viva that is quite lively, with enough activities going on that most people are happy to stay put. However, if you do feel like venturing away, then head south towards Filitosa. This prehistoric site is in a lovely countryside setting, and is one of the rare places in the world where prehistoric engraved stones can be seen.

Ajaccio has a justified reputation as a very stylish city. Napoléon Bonaparte was born here in 1769, and as you would expect, the city has many sites relating to him, from his childhood home to seafront statues, museums and street names. Its immediate surroundings are a paradise for hikers, mountain bikers, trekkers and climbers. It provides a whole range of outdoor activities which you can enjoy by yourself or with professionals. (B/L/D)

Day 9

Monte Carlo, Monaco

September 23, 2022

Monaco is the fabled domain of princes and movie stars. The magnificent Palais du Prince and opulent Casino remind you of an elegant, pre-war era. With more wealth concentrated in one small area than almost any place on earth, this tiny principality retains its gilt-edged allure. (B/L/D)

Day 10

Cannes, France

September 24, 2022

The Royal Clipper is set to arrive to Cannes at 6:00 AM this morning. If you’re flying home today we recommend you schedule your departure flight from Nice (NCE) at 10:30 AM or later. All guests should plan to disembark by around 10:00 AM. Special exceptions may be made for guests with late departing flights. (B)
