TORONTO — Intrepid Travel is offering up to 40% off select sailing itineraries for bookings through May 31.

The four-day ‘Sail Italy – Amalfi to Procida’, originally US$840 per person, now starts at $548. Travellers can cast adrift along the Amalfi Coast and travel to Amalfi, Capri, and Procida. With its pastel buildings and tranquil marina, the town of Procida “provides the best of both worlds”, says Intrepid – relaxing at sea or exploring by foot. Visitors can hike along historic trails past olive groves, vineyards, lemon orchards and villages, dive into the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean and sample Italian regional cuisine including some of the freshest seafood in the world, fished from the coast every morning.

Another option, the eight-day ‘Croatia Sailing Adventure – Dubrovnik to Split’, is now priced at  $972 for eight days, down from $1,435. Travellers can wander the length of car-free Lopud in the idyllic Elafiti Islands, visit Odysseus Cave where, according to legend, the king of Ithaca once found refuge after surviving a shipwreck and cross the water from the island of Vis to Cave Bisevo’s blue grotto.
