Reasons to visit Italy on a cruise holiday
Beautiful Ports
There is a huge range of places to see on a cruise to Italy. Naples is one of Italy’s largest ports, although many people do tend to head for the islands of Pompeii or the Amalfi Coast instead of settling down in the city.
Relax and Explore
Palermo and Messina are both used to access Sicily. If you want to access the Western side, head for the Palermo stop – there are plenty of churches, palazzos and stunning sights to see before you head further afield. For the eastern side of Sicily, make sure Messina is on your itinerary.
Italian Food
You can’t talk about Italy without talking about the food. Each region has its own speciality, with twists on pasta, bread and meat at every turn, but a focus on fresh and seasonal flavour wherever you go.
