Just three hours’ flight from the UK, off the northeast tip of Sicily, lies one of the most fascinating cruising grounds in the world, the Aeolian islands. Their story tells of a remarkable triumph of man over the destructive power of nature. In a land that’s been shaped by relentless volcanic activity you will find a people perfectly at ease with the tormented landscape, who have subdued it and made it their own. Life goes on simply and unremarkably, living off the land and harvesting the abundant riches of sea. But make no mistake, this is no mere existence. From the pristine vernacular houses to the lush blossom in the gardens and from the delicious dishes on the table to the pleasant disposition of the locals, you sense with a tinge of envy that this is life as you would like it!

Our cruise is designed not merely to sail from island to island, but also to walk through the villages rubbing shoulders with the locals, climb the lush green slopes of Salina admiring the stunning views, feel the heartbeat of the mighty giant that is Vulcano, as it puffs and hisses in his sleep beneath your feet. The guided tour of the Aeolian museum is a culturally enriching experience and equally so is the mouth-watering variety of gorgeous food as you dine al-fresco in some of the best restaurants around. To ensure the success of the cruise we have recruited the expertise of Sunchaser Yachting, a UK based charter company, with a proven record of staging such events in the past. By all accounts, the 2007 Sicilian Cruise is one event not to be missed. Use the links above for further information and booking.
