My Itinerary:
Starting Point: Rome (Civitavecchia) Before the cruise departs, many travelers explore Rome, known for its ancient landmarks like the Colosseum, Vatican City, and St. Peter's Basilica. This is a great way to immerse yourself in rich history, art, and architecture. Departure Port: Civitavecchia, about an hour from Rome, is the main cruise hub. The port is bustling with activity, offering scenic views of the Mediterranean as ships depart.
Ports of Call: * Portovenere Portovenere is a picturesque seaside town on Italy's Ligurian coast, known for its colorful harbor, medieval architecture, and stunning natural beauty. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it offers iconic landmarks such as the Church of San Pietro, perched dramatically on a cliff, and the Doria Castle, overlooking the town. Visitors can explore Byron's Grotto, named after the poet Lord Byron, or take a boat to nearby Palmaria Island for hiking and relaxation. With its charming streets, breathtaking views, and historic charm, Portovenere is a hidden gem of the Italian Riviera.
* Bastia Bastia is a vibrant port city on the northeastern coast of Corsica, known for its rich history and lively atmosphere. As the island's main commercial hub, Bastia boasts a charming old town with narrow streets, colorful buildings, and the picturesque Vieux Port (Old Port), where fishing boats and yachts dock against a backdrop of cafés and restaurants. Key landmarks include the Baroque Saint-Jean-Baptiste Cathedral, the Citadel offering panoramic views of the city and sea, and the Place Saint-Nicolas, a lively square lined with palm trees. Bastia is the perfect blend of Corsican culture, history, and Mediterranean beauty.
