Board a motorboat and head across the bay to Santa Margherita — a picturesque seaside village in the Italian Riviera. Walk through the small harbor area and admire from afar Villa Durazzo, located on the hillside. Stroll through the charming village streets to the Central Square.
Head for the city of Rapallo to walk along its seaside promenade lined with palm trees. Here, the small Castle on the Sea guards the harbor entrance, and you'll follow narrow alleys lined with colorful shops to Piazza Cavour. View the Town Hall and Chiesa di San Stefano. Take a break from sightseeing and enjoy some free time to wander about on your own.
Next, board a motorboat to Portofino, whose colorful houses overlook the harbor, huddling together in a tight semi-circle. Your walking tour here leads you to Saint George's Church, honoring Portofino's patron saint, whose relics were interred here by the Crusaders. The church was built in Romanesque style in 1154 and, after a brush with a bomb during World War II, was completely rebuilt in the 1950s.
Time permitting, guests wishing to stay in town to shop or explore independently are welcome to do so but must make their own way back to the ship.
Notes:
Bring local currency or credit cards, as most vendors do not accept US dollars. Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses, wear biodegradable sunscreen. Bring bottled water. Use of an audio headset (included) will enhance your tour experience. In the event of adverse sea conditions, the tour will be cancelled for safety reasons. You must bring photo ID with you on tour.
