The Amalfi, Sicily and Malta: The Godfather

Winners 2022 Best Expedition Cruise Line

Welcome to AE Expeditions’ The Godfather For Italy aficionados, no trip to their favourite country is complete without visiting its southern shores, spending time on the cherished island of Sicily and dropping into the Mediterranean gem of Malta. Contested for centuries by Europe’s legendary empires, the Amalfi Coast, Sicily and Malta are a modern-day traveller’s dream. The coastline is dotted with a colourful array of sun-drenched resorts, picturesque clifftop villages, and impressive ancient cities. Combined with the quintessential Mediterranean lifestyle, delicious food and wine, and the region’s intriguing political history, this segment of Europe overflows with tales of family feuds, hidden secrets and dangerous liaisons, making its shores a fascinating find. This journey inspires stories spanning from indulgent emperors to slave uprisings and from buried cities to resort towns brimming with wanton excess. Their stories tell epic tales on this voyage of 'Godfather proportions’.
