Itinerary

Every sailing trip follows the conditions of nature. The itinerary shown is a non-binding orientation and can change depending on wind and weather.

Independent arrival in Syracuse. The historic port city, with its picturesque old-town island of Ortygia, is one of the most beautiful cities in Sicily and the perfect starting point for your voyage.

In the evening the crew of CHRONOS welcomes you on board. With a welcome drink and the first dinner together, your journey begins – between volcanic islands, open-water passages and the coasts of southern Italy.

After breakfast CHRONOS sets sail along Sicily’s east coast. Time and again the view opens up to mighty Mount Etna, which shapes the landscape of this region.

In the afternoon you reach the bay of Taormina. Perched high above the sea, the town captivates with its Mediterranean flair, elegant lanes and spectacular views of the coast and volcanic landscape.

Today’s route leads through the famous Strait of Messina. For centuries this waterway has fascinated seafarers and travellers alike.

You then reach the Aeolian Islands, where CHRONOS drops anchor off Vulcano. The island impresses with its volcanic landscape, dark beaches and the unmistakable character of a still-active volcanic region.

Today you discover the fascinating world of the Aeolian Islands. Lipari charms with its old town and lively harbour promenade, while Panarea enchants with white houses, turquoise water and laid-back island life.

In the evening Stromboli appears on the horizon. The active volcano rises majestically from the sea and after dark often puts on a spectacular show of light. Watching the glowing eruptions from the water is one of the unforgettable highlights of this voyage.

After the volcanic islands, CHRONOS sets her course northwards. Today, the sailing itself takes centre stage.

Far from the larger harbours, you enjoy the vastness of the sea, long tacks under sail and the special peace on board. With a little luck, dolphins accompany the ship for part of the way, while the coasts of Sicily slowly disappear beyond the horizon.

The spectacular coastline of the Cilento National Park is the next highlight of your voyage. Off Palinuro, CHRONOS anchors in one of the most beautiful bays in southern Italy.

Crystal-clear water, striking rock formations and hidden grottoes make this region a paradise for swimmers and nature lovers. A relaxed day of sea, sun and the Italian way of life.

On the final leg, the voyage follows the Campanian coast into the Gulf of Salerno. As CHRONOS sails towards her destination, there is time to reflect on the impressions of the past days.

In the evening the traditional Captain’s Dinner takes place – the atmospheric finale of a voyage between Sicily, the volcanic Aeolian Islands and the coasts of southern Italy.

After a final breakfast on deck, you disembark in Salerno. Independent onward travel, or an optional extension on the Amalfi Coast.

Important information

You can travel from major airports and with the usual airlines. If you want to travel in a more climate-friendly way, you can check the options by train or ferry.

The cruise price includes: costs for the nautical crew and service, accommodation on board in the booked category, sea transport, full board on board / one evening per week to discover the local cuisine at your own expense, water, tea, filter coffee. The price does not include: arrival and departure, transfers, soft drinks, Nespresso and alcoholic beverages, water sports from on board, shore excursions and gratuities.

In summer it is (almost) always nice and warm – although it usually remains pleasant on board above the water – in spring and autumn it is cooler, you sometimes need a sweater, and the weather is more changeable than in summer. The winds of the Mediterranean are as diverse as the countries and can be very different depending on the region.

Life on board the Sailing-Classics yachts is very safe and well organised. The vessels meet the highest safety standards and are inspected annually. The captain and helmsman are graduates of a professional maritime college and undergo continuous professional development. The rest of the crew also receive intensive training in how to deal with emergencies. A compulsory safety briefing takes place at the start of every voyage. Furthermore, despite their speed, the yachts sail with remarkable stability – even in heavy weather, hardly any water comes on deck.

Both German and English are spoken on board the Sailing-Classics yachts. The language used amongst the international crew is English, whilst they communicate with guests in both German and English. On the KAIRÓS, we cannot always guarantee communication in German.

Meals on board Sailing-Classics are organised on a full-board basis and are included in the tour price. The day begins with a generous breakfast buffet, followed by a light two-course lunch and coffee and cake in the afternoon. In the evening, the on-board chef prepares a three-course dinner. On the final evening, the festive Captain’s Dinner is the culinary highlight. Once a week, a dinner is held ashore to sample the regional cuisine – this is not included in the tour price. Special dietary requirements and allergies can be catered for if notified in advance.

Sailing-Classics organises shore excursions using the crew’s motorised dinghies. On request, the crew will take you ashore and collect you again free of charge – simply let the team know in good time. In addition, in many sailing areas, the crew organises guided shore excursions with a local guide or accompanied by a crew member. The price per participant is communicated in advance and charged to your on-board account. Of course, you are also welcome to explore the surrounding area on your own.

The cabins on board the Sailing-Classics yachts are comfortable and practically furnished. Each cabin has its own en-suite bathroom with a toilet and shower cubicle, individually controlled air conditioning, a wardrobe, a hairdryer, and hand and bath towels. 230-volt sockets are available for charging electronic devices. A reusable water bottle is provided in every cabin and can be refilled at the water dispenser in the saloon.

At Sailing-Classics, you’re warmly invited to get actively involved in sailing – no prior experience or sailing licence required. You can help set and trim the sails, take the helm yourself, or lend a hand with other tasks on deck. The crew will be happy to explain the basics of sailing to you, show you how radar navigation works on the bridge, or give you a tour of the engine room. Those who prefer to relax can simply enjoy the passing scenery – the motto is: ‘Everything is possible, nothing is compulsory.’

To cancel your sailing holiday with Sailing-Classics, please send your cancellation request by email to info@sailing-classics.com. Written notification is required so that the cancellation can be processed officially. Depending on when the cancellation is made, Sailing-Classics’ tiered cancellation terms and conditions will apply. We strongly recommend that you take out travel cancellation insurance to protect yourself financially.
