Ponte Standard da Cannigione: Eight hours of private‑feeling cruising through La Maddalena.

Outing Highlights
Ponte Standard: panoramic comfort
The Ponte Standard occupies the first and second decks of the Virginia and is arranged to offer single armchairs, a 360° sea view, shaded external spaces and an internal lounge—comfort designed to let guests relax without crowding.
Exclusive stops away from the crowds
The itinerary favors quieter anchorages in the archipelago, including a reserved bay at Cala dell’Amore and extended time in the Natural Pools, so guests experience iconic scenery without crowded beaches.
Environmentally mindful and well equipped
The Virginia does not land directly to protect shorelines; stops are made at buoys a few meters from shore and the vessel supplies lifejackets and floating boards, while onboard services include two bars and a pizzeria with vegan and gluten‑free options.

What the day feels like
Over eight hours the Virginia moves deliberately through the La Maddalena Archipelago: short cruises between secluded anchorages, a swim and snorkel stop in a private bay, a long visit to the famed Natural Pools (with an optional 30‑minute dinghy add‑on) and a final choice of time ashore in La Maddalena’s historic center or a mini tour to Caprera.
