Sanremo (for Monaco) Cruises, Italy

Show Gallery

Sanremo sits in the shadow of the Alps on Italy’s Riviera of Flowers. It’s been a popular holiday spot for centuries, pulling in everyone from Monet to Frank Sinatra. Even now, you’ll spot million-pound yachts in the harbour and high society types in the casino. Away from the glitz and glam, there’s also a charming historic quarter to explore.

• Try your luck at Monte Carlo Casino. Even if you don’t fancy gambling, the liberty-style building is well worth a look – it’s more than 150 years old.
• The postcard-perfect harbour is an ideal lunch spot, with cafés and fish restaurants lining the water’s edge.
• Scale the streets of the old quarter, which wind their way up a hill. At the top, you’ll find the Queen Elena gardens and the 17th-century Madonna della Costa Sanctuary.

Monaco & Monte Carlo

The Grand Prix race course, roulette tables, luxury yachts – you’ll see it all on this daytrip to the world’s second-smallest country. We’ll start with a drive to the one-square-mile colony. Its castle was seized in the 13th century by a leader nicknamed ‘the cunning’, and its current monarch is the son of Hollywood superstar, Grace Kelly. We’ll pass historical monuments of the old town, including the Prince’s Palace. Later, we’ll take a short drive to the lavish Monte Carlo district. It’s home to luxurious hotels, the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix circuit, and the world-renowned casino. You’ll get some free time to spend as you like here – go for lunch at a 5-star restaurant, or make like 007 and have a flutter on a baccarat table.
