Beyond Summer
As the summer crowds drift away and the Mediterranean exhales into stillness, a different kind of beauty emerges – serene, unhurried, intimate. Our journey begins at home, in Monaco where ULYSSIA will embark on her maiden voyage. Here, the Riviera softens; cafés linger open just for locals and the sea seems to belong to you and you alone.
Sailing westward, Barcelona awakens in a gentler rhythm. The gothic quarter glows in the autumn sun, artists reclaiming the streets as the hum of summer fades. Across the sea, Sardinia’s rugged charm deepens – granite cliffs, empty beaches and wild landscapes untouched by time.
Further along, the Balearic Islands reveal their true selves. Ibiza’s famed pulse slows to a soulful beat, Formentera’s waters turn crystalline and still and Mallorca’s mountain villages shimmer under clear winter skies. Portugal follows – windswept, poetic, with the melancholy of fado echoing through the tiled streets of Lisbon. Beyond lies Madeira, an evergreen paradise, where the Atlantic begins to take hold.
From here, ULYSSIA sets her course across the ocean. Bermuda’s coral blues await, then the misty charm of Hampshire and finally, the spirited elegance of Montreal – a city alive with style, culture and cuisine, basking in the warmth of an Indian Summer.
In this off-season voyage, the world feels somehow larger and more personal. Each port tells its story in a different light – softer, slower and more profound. This is travel as it was meant to be: not a race through the familiar, but a rediscovery of the extraordinary in every quiet moment. ULYSSIA’s path will follow the sun – not chasing it, but embracing its lingering glow.
