The wooden hull rocks gently as the harbour lights of Corfu Town slip astern and the sun folds into the Ionian Sea. Salt on your skin, a cool breeze that dares you to slow down, and the silhouette of the Old Fortress cutting the sky — that first stretch sets the tone. Guests cluster along the rail for photographs while the crew circulates with a signature cocktail and a platter of local cheese and cold cuts.
