Itinerary
Arrival and departure
On a Barcelona cruise, you’ll see why the Catalan capital is Spain’s most-visited city. Set between the Mediterranean Sea and the mountains, Barcelona offers experiences and sights for all, from classical and modern art to daring architecture, from innovative design to ancient history, plus world-class gastronomy (covering local cuisine and fine dining) and an enviable coastline.
Ibiza is the third largest Balearic island after Palma de Mallorca and Menorca, located off the eastern coast of Spain’s mainland. Although considered one of the world’s top-rated party destinations, Ibiza is also renowned for its UNESCO-listed medieval old town, gorgeous beaches and beautiful nature. The island is also called “Eivissa”, which is the Catalan version of “Ibiza”.
Enjoy a day at sea. Get to experience on board activity such as Live bands, shopping , Casinos, Games, swimming and many more
Explore the historical center
The historical center of Cagliari is divided into 4 quarters: Castello, Stampace, Villanova and Marina.
Castello is a hilltop citadel where you will see domes, palaces, towers – this is where the aristocracy of the city used to live in medieval times, a maze of narrow alleys, old buildings that look like they are falling apart but which hide many a treasure.
Visit the archeological sites
There is no doubt that one of the things to do in Cagliari is visiting the Roman Amphitheater. Accessible from Viale Sant’Ignazio, it dates back to the 2nd century AD when it was entirely carved in the rock. It could hold up to 10000 people!
Take in all the views
There are many places in town perfect for stunning views, but I will never tire of going to the terrace of Via Santa Croce. The views are stunning at any time of day, but go for sunset and you will be in for quite a show.
You may even want to get a drink at Libarium, a local bar where they serve excellent cocktails – nothing better for a good sunset experience.
You can consider to visit the below attractions
Civitavecchia Cruise Port
The port of Civitavecchia is the world’s 13th busiest cruise port and it’s massive – Officially named “Roma Cruise Terminal (aka RCT)”, it consists of 8 cruise terminals and 15 berths that can accommodate the world’s largest cruise liners. Civitavecchia port is also a homeport, meaning that cruises start and end in Civitavecchia.
Civitavecchia Port Link is the shuttle bus that normally runs between the cruise terminals and the train station, from where you can take a train to Rome at a cost.
Vatican Museums
Vatican Museums are located next to St Peter’s Basilica and you need at least half-day to visit the major artworks and galleries. Because Vatican Museums contain one of the largest collections of artworks in the world, I suggest you make a selection of the main points of interest based on what you want to see. Some of the main places of interest are:
- Sistine Chapel – Goethe said: “Without having seen the Sistine Chapel one can form no appreciable idea of what one man is capable of achieving”. Michelangelo Buonarroti’s masterpiece depicting biblical scenes is a number one must-see in Vatican Museums!
- The Pinacoteca, with 18 rooms housing paintings dating from the Middle Ages to the 19th century, including the works of Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Perugino and Caravaggio.
- The Pio Clementino Museum – The largest complex inside the Museums that houses the most important Greek and Roman sculpture masterpieces.
- Gregorian Egyptian Museum – This part consists of 9 rooms displaying exhibitions, monuments
Colosseum
The majestic Colosseum is one of the seven wonders of the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Named after its colossal dimensions, the Colosseum is the largest ancient amphitheater in the world dating from 70-80 AD, built under the Roman Emperors Vespasian, and his heir, Titus. The massive amphitheater used to host gladiatorial contests, public spectacles, executions, animal hunts and theatre plays, and could hold on average 70.000 spectators. The Colosseum has been the symbol of Rome for centuries, and nowadays is a must-see attraction!
Cruise lines offer numerous shore excursions to the Colosseum, but you can also visit it on your own. To get to the Colosseum, get off at Roma Termini station and then take the metro line B to the “Colosseo” stop. You will probably face long lines, so it’s recommended to purchase the skip-the-line ticket.
Gateway to the Italian Riviera, the Port of Genoa is one of the most important (and one of the largest) in Italy, a strategic harbour since ancient times.
Cruises to Genoa offer the chance to explore its many sights, including Genoa Aquarium, designed by architect Renzo Piano, and the city’s picturesque Boccadasse district, a lakeside fishing village. Genoa excursions also offer the opportunity to taste signature dishes made from fresh ingredients, such as pesto Genovese and focaccia.
On a Genoa cruise, guests can also admire one of Italy’s most beautiful stretches of coastline or an excursion to the UNESCO-listed Cinque Terre. Its five fishing villages, perched on steep cliffs, offer superb sea views, small seafood restaurants, and a tableau of townhouses.
