More about our ocean cruises to Italy

You could travel on a luxury yacht, with an exclusive guest list of just 40 guests, mooring in smaller ports close to the action. This opulent form of travel also includes swim stops in secluded bays and the opportunity to enjoy local cuisine in onshore restaurants as we stay in port each evening. Perhaps a chance to experience the golden age of nautical travel will entice you. During sailing, you could lounge in the sailing nets (or on a lounger) or climb the crow's nest to live out your sailor fantasies, but in our opinion, nothing compares to the moment the captain unfurls the sails.

Our itineraries include some of mainland Italy's most famous cities. You could roam the lively streets of the Eternal City; Rome is one of the world's most compelling cities, with 2,500 years of uninterrupted history to uncover. Or explore the 'floating city' of Venice, its network of canals and many highlights, including Mark's Square, home to the Campanile Tower and the Basilica, the Doge's Palace and more. See the vast archaeological site of Pompeii - the story may be well known, but you really must see it to understand the scale of the city and the catastrophe that burned and buried it.  

You'll visit some of Italy's most beautiful islands, like the glamorous Capri and Elba, a Mediterranean island off the coast of Tuscany. Visit the medieval jewel Alghero, located on the northwestern coast of the beautiful island of Sardinia. And in Sicily, Italy's largest island, you could stop in the charming medieval town of Taormina or visit Syracuse. Here, you can wander its tangle of golden-hued streets, visit the old town on Ortygia Island or explore the ruins of its Neapolis Archaeological Park and Museum.
