Italian Cruises
Cruising Around Italy
You are never far from an Italian port when on a Mediterranean cruise as the options available are many and varied.
Pick any major cruise line and there's every chance there will be cruises to Italy featured.
Fly-cruises run from any number of ports, including Venice, Savona, Genoa and Rome (Civitavecchia).
For a true cosmopolitan passenger mix and some of the best of local cuisine, then the Italian lines Costa Cruises and MSC Cruises, which both have fleets of ultra-modern resort-style ships, are the ideal choice.
Cruises to Venice also run from Barcelona with companies such as Azamara Club Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, Disney Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Holland America Line and Carnival Cruise Line's new ship Carnival Magic from summer 2011. There are also some departures from Istanbul.
Sailings from the UK are run by lines including Celebrity Cruises, Cunard, P&O Cruises, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean International, with cruises to Italy lasting anything between 14 and 18-nights in duration.
Italy cruises in the summer are best to take advantage of beach resorts such as Santa Margherita, just a short hop from the enduringly lovely Italian Riviera town of Portofino, renowned as a honey-pot for the rich and famous.
Palermo, the capital of Sicily, and the lovely Cagliari in Sardinia, are all part of the mix on cruises around Italy.
And don't think that Italy cruises are confined to the summer, as an increasing number of companies have ships sailing year-round in the Mediterranean making calls at the key ports for Rome, Florence and Pisa (Livorno), Naples, for Sorrento, Capri and the Amalfi coast; and Venice.
