Natural beauty and ancient sightseeing spots are Italy’s forte.
Where we sail in Italy
Lively cities, sun-drenched islands and dramatic coastlines are ticked off on cruises to Italy. The west coast lines up Livorno – the gateway to the Leaning Tower of Pisa – and canal-threaded Venice. Rome’s on the cards thanks to its waterfront neighbour, Civitavecchia. And Sorrento, Salerno and Naples land you close to Mount Vesuvius. Away from the mainland, you can visit Mount Etna and Sicily, or check out the beaches of Sardinia. Weather-wise, temperatures can reach the low thirties in the south, but summer highs peak around the high twenties as you head north.
Historic highlights
Cruises around Italy set you up with a smorgasbord of ancient sights. From Naples and Sorrento you can stroll through the frozen-in-time streets of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Visit the Pantheon on a trip from Civitavecchia to Rome. La Spezia’s the jumping-off point for seeing picturesque Florence and Pisa. In Sicily, meanwhile, Baroque architecture and Medieval buildings are among Catania’s long-lasting attractions, and there’s an amphitheatre that dates back to Roman times.

Trieste
This Italian city showcases cobbled, café-lined piazzas, Baroque churches and an old town that’s packed with pastel-coloured buildings. It’s a great jumping-off point for trips to scenery-laden Slovenia, too, as the city nuzzles up against the border. At the top of San Giusto hill, you’ll find a Medieval cathedral and castle, plus terraces with standout city views.
