The cruise at a glance

The Olsen Way Highlights

Coastal scenery and fascinating history are sure to sweep you off your feet during this cruise adventure. As well as being able to explore ashore, you can enjoy the views from Bolette as you cruise along the picturesque Amalfi Coast, renowned for its lemons, limoncello liqueur and colourful cliff-edge villages. There will be chances to delve into Roman history at archaeological sites such as Cartagena’s amphitheatre and the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum (from Salerno). Elsewhere, you can tour from Sorrento to the active volcano, Mount Vesuvius or cosmopolitan Positano; dock in Propriano, only possible on smaller ships; and sail past Cape Bernat, timed to capture the Ibizan sunset.

Highlights

The old medina of Tangier, Morocco, facing the Strait of Gibraltar and the Spanish coast.

Tangier’s cosmopolitan culture

Tangier’s cosmopolitan culture developed over centuries due to its location at the point where Africa and Europe meet, and watches over the entrance to the Straits of Gibraltar, one of the world’s most important maritime trading routes. This exciting city attracted a number of traders and cultures, which led to a unique blend of traditions and languages, and has expanded and developed while still retaining its creativity. The combination of the ancient medina, historical Kasbah and modern style and art deco buildings merge together perfectly to entice visitors in to explore further; so we’d recommend you join us for one of our organised Shore Tours to discover this fascinating city.

Ancient ruins in Pompeii, Roman town near modern Naples, Mount Vesuvius

Mount Vesuvius

Probably the most famous volcano in the world, Mount Vesuvius is best known for its catastrophic eruption in 79 AD, which completely covered the ancient Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Whilst it last erupted in 1944, it’s constantly monitored for any signs of variation in its activity, and is the central focus within the Vesuvius National Park, created to preserve the various animal and plant species living there. Over 740 types of Mediterranean flora thrive here, alongside many animal species, including nocturnal and over 150 bird species.

Pompeii, Italy

Pompeii and Herculaneum

During the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum were completely decimated and buried beneath volcanic ash and pumice. This covering of the cities preserved them remarkably well, and offers us valuable insights into daily life, architecture and cultures from the Roman Empire. First excavated in 1860, many monuments were discovered such as the Forum, Temple of Jupiter and the Basilica; and there were even preserved bodies of the victims who perished in the disaster, giving us a unique understanding of the past. All of these findings are considered some of the most important archaeological findings in the world.
