The Best Way to Explore the Italian Coast
ROMAN HISTORY & CULTURE
Vestiges of ancient times are everywhere on an Italy cruise. Pass through the same entrance gladiators used in battle prep on a Colosseum tour. Marvel at paintings and frescoes created by the world’s most influential artists on a Vatican Museum Tour. Experience the grandeur as you visit centuries-old cathedrals, palaces and opera houses.
FEAST FOR THE EYES
Come for the history and cuisine, stay for the natural surrounds. Pass Europe’s most mesmerizing landscapes on Amalfi coast cruises. Colorful harbors, looming volcanoes, and charming fishing towns await along with once-in-a-lifetime outdoor excursions. Ferry to lush isles, and soak in natural springs that overlook the ocean.
Featured Italy Cruise Ports
Civitavecchia (Rome)
Rome is Italy's beating heart, full of Rennaissance cathedrals and piazzas begging for you to sit and sip espresso.
Venice
Known as the city the floats on water, and the highlight of any cruise to Italy, Venice needs no further introduction.
Livorno (Florence)
Florence is a dream Italian cruise destination for Renaissance-era sightseeing. But it’s a foodie haven too with family-run tripe wagons, wine bars and trattorias.
Ravenna (San Marino), Italy
A walker’s paradise and shopper’s mecca, Ravenna is home to the Basilica of Sant' Apollinare Nuovo, with its intricate mosaics; Dante’s tomb (author of The Divine Comedy); posh boutiques, and cafés.
Portoferraio (Elba), Italy
On your Italian cruise, visit Villa San Martino, the summer residence of Emperor Napoleon, and wander Portoferraio's centuries-old labyrinth of alleys.
Catania, Sicily, Italy
Sicily's second-largest city is intimately connected to the active volcano that towers above it. The smoking, gurgling peak of Mt. Etna, one of the island's most iconic landmarks, shaped Catania significantly.
Palermo
Palermo is a jumble of old and new. Explore ancient attractions, such as the mosaics of the Palatine Chapel (en Italiana: “Cappella Palatina”). Or, take a day trip to the seaside Cefalù.
Taormina
Perched on a hilltop, Taormina has an ancient theater and dramatic views of the scalloped coastline. An active volcano looms over this stunning city.
