WILMINGTON, N.C. (Oct. 8, 2010) – PerryGolf has expanded its golf cruising options to include a nine-day/eight-night Mediterranean tour that combines great golf played against the backdrop of some of the world’s most spectacular scenery and historically significant sightseeing. The PerryGolf cruise on the 64-guest luxury sailing yacht Le Ponant, May 29 – June 7, 2011, is offered in partnership with Compagnie du Ponant Yacht Cruises.
The tour begins in Nice before setting sail for Portoferraio on Elba Island in the Tuscan Archipelago. Then it’s on to the seaside resort city of Viareggio in Tuscany, which serves as a quaint stopover en route to the architectural and cultural attractions of Pisa, Lucca, Florence and Rome.
Guests also will enjoy stops at Porto Rotondo on the beautiful Costa Smeralda in Sardinia; Bonifacio and Calvi in Corsica. The tour concludes after a stop in Cannes, the capital city of cinema on the French Rivera and gathering place of the world’s glitterati. Once a simple fishing village, Cannes now boasts a stunning collection of shops and restaurants.
Sprinkled throughout the tour is an enticing collection of picturesque golf courses that feature the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean crashing at the base of rugged cliffs. Mougins Golf Country Club in Cannes, the Robert Trent Jones Pevero Golf Club in Sardinia and Sperone in Corsica are among the beguiling courses offered. All golf arrangements, including bag handling and transfers to and from the course, are provided by PerryGolf’s onboard concierge.
