Imagine stepping off your ship into the pastel-hued charm of Portofino, where yachts bob in a sunlit harbor and cobbled streets lead to cliffside views of the Ligurian Sea. Then wander through the Renaissance heart of Florence or marvel at Pisa’s iconic leaning tower, all from the gateway of La Spezia. And just when you think it can’t get better, Provence welcomes you with lavender fields, sun-drenched cafés, and the artistic soul of Marseille. This cruise isn’t just a journey, it’s a tapestry of romance, history, and Mediterranean magic.
Portofino is a coastal gem where colorful buildings hug a tranquil harbor and pine-covered hills rise behind. It’s perfect for slow strolls, fresh seafood, and quiet luxury. The views from Castello Brown or the Church of San Giorgio are breathtaking. Whether you're chasing beauty or peace, Portofino delivers both in elegant measure.
Florence and Pisa, accessible from La Spezia, offer a rich dive into Tuscany’s artistic soul. In Florence, Renaissance masterpieces and architectural icons like the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio invite you to wander through centuries of creativity. Pisa adds its own charm with the iconic Leaning Tower and the stunning Piazza dei Miracoli. Together, they create a day of culture, beauty, and timeless Italian elegance, framed by the scenic journey through Tuscany’s countryside.
Provence (Marseille), France offers a vibrant mix of coastal beauty, cultural depth, and Mediterranean charm. From the colorful markets and historic Old Port to the dramatic cliffs of Calanques National Park, it’s a place where nature and heritage meet. With its laid-back rhythm, rich cuisine, and sun-soaked streets, Marseille invites you to slow down and savor the soul of southern France
