Overnight on board in port.

Approx' 30 minutes from the port lies the ancient city of Pisa with its famous leaning tower. Then it’s on to Florence – a renaissance treasure founded in the 16th century. Visit the main cathedral Il Duomo Di Firenze started in 1296 and completed in 1436, the Uffizi Gallery and Ponte Vecchio lines with gold and silver merchants.

The port lies 70 miles away from the centre of Rome and so we would recommend booking an excursion through the cruise line to get the most out of your time here. The Coliseum, The Roman Form and the Trevi Fountain will give you an immediate introduction to the layers of history to be found in Rome and are all within walking distance of each other. The Pantheon is absolutely awe inspiring dating back to 27 BC and is the only complete structure from the Roma Empire still standing.

Most people head for the ancient Roman ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum or scoot across the bay to the island of Capri.

Messina on Sicily - Is situated just three miles from the mainland under the shadow of Mount Etna. Perhaps visit picturesque Taormina with its hilltop Saracen Castle and the Ancient Greek Ampitheatre.

Steeped in history and famous for snorkelling and scuba diving. The home of the Maltese Cross and the last bastion of the Crusades.

Cagliari is Sardinia’s largest city - housing over 150,000 people and has been the islands capital for centuries. Cagliari is a on south coast of the island and offers the perfect mix of recreation and exploration options. The five-mile-long Poetto Beach is among the best city beaches on the Mediterranean, while those in search of culture will love Cagliari’s old district where 13th-century towers still guard the medieval city walls.

Perfect for a beach stop, a wander around Palma the capital, a visit to the mountains and the monastery of Valldemossa – one time home of Chopin.
