Dann nimmt die Le Bougainville Kurs auf die herrliche Region Cinque Terre. Vom Meer aus entdecken Sie die zauberhafte Landschaft und die von Dörfern gesäumte schroffe Küste der Italienischen Riviera, bevor Sie in dem kleinen malerischen Fischerdorf Porto Venere an Land gehen.
Als nächstes steht Portoferraio auf dem Programm, ein kleines Paradies auf der Insel Elba, wo Napoleon zahlreiche Tage im Exil verbrachte.
Dann steuert Ihr Schiff die Amalfiküste an, das Juwel Süditaliens, wo Sie die wunderschöne Stadt Salerno entdecken, die insbesondere für ihren Duomo bekannt ist.
Anschließend fahren Sie nach Porto Santo Stefano, ein am Hang gelegenes Dorf mit einer Zitadelle aus dem 17. Jahrhundert.
An der toskanischen Küste entlang fahren Sie weiter nach Livorno, einer Hafenstadt, die für ihre Renaissance-Festungsanlagen berühmt ist. Dies ist die letzte Etappe Ihrer Kreuzfahrt in dieser geschichtsträchtigen Region.

Portofino hat es geschafft, ihre seit der Antike bekannten traditionellen maritimen Methoden zu bewahren. Das in einer kleinen, von einem Kiefernhain geschützten Bucht liegende Dorf bildet das Herz eines außergewöhnlichen Meeresnaturschutzgebietes. Die schillernden Farben seiner Fassaden und die malerischen Treppen haben viele Autoren und Künstler inspiriert.

Der Sage nach wurde die Stadt Gaeta nach der Amme des Aeneas benannt. Diese hehre Abstammung offenbart sich in der Noblesse dieser alten, am äußersten Ende einer Halbinsel errichteten Stadt. Gaeta war bereits in der Römerzeit ein berühmter Erholungsort. Nach einer Periode unter byzantinischer Herrschaft wurde die Stadt zu einem autonomen Herzogtum und einer unabhängigen Republik. Die Stadtmauer, die die ehemalige Festung umgibt, und der Glockenturm der Kathedrale, ein elegantes, zugleich romanisches und maurisches, nach Art der amalfitanischen Glockentürme mit Fayencen verziertes Bauwerk, erinnern an die reiche Geschichte der Stadt.

An der ligurischen Küste ist Livorno das Tor zur Toskana, eine Region, die für ihre archäologischen Stätten, ihre Schätze der Renaissance, ihre malerischen Hügellandschaften und ihre Lebenskunst bekannt ist. Die Ankunft der Medici im 16. Jahrhundert fällt mit dem Aufschwung der Stadt zusammen, die sich zu einem der wichtigsten Mittelmeerhäfen entwickelte. Ein kosmopolitischer und multireligiöser Ort, der kulturelle Vielfalt perfekt verkörpert. Die in dieser Epoche erbauten Festungen Fortezza Vecchia und Fortezza Nuova sind Zeitzeugen seiner Bedeutung. Am Fuße des neuen Forts erstreckt sich das zauberhafte Quartier Nuova Venezzia mit kleinen Kanälen und Gässchen, die zum Flanieren und zum Entdecken der architektonischen Stätten einladen, zum Beispiel zu einem Besuch der wunderschönen Kirche Santa Caterina im toskanischen Barockstil.
Portofino walking tour
Through the centuries, Portofino functioned primarily as a fishing village and, occasionally, as a small naval port. Today, it is a classy resort-village. Portofino's miniscule bay is neatly packed with pricey yachts, common boats and, as a vestige of its past, some fishing boats.
From the pier, you will meet your local guide and start your panoramic walking tour. If you don't bring your camera to Portofino, you will regret it. The town is striking with its brightly colored antique buildings hovering over sparkling blue water. And the surrounding luxuriant green hillsides of the Portofino Promontory are equally stunning.
Your walk heads up to the right as you face the harbour. You will enjoy a path through one of the largest concentrations of flora and fauna in the Mediterranean. For some fantastic views of the entire bay and the Tigullian Gulf, you will walk up the hill to the Church of San Giorgio. Perched high above the town, this church contains relics of St. George brought over by crusaders from the Holy Land. From here you will walk to another great lookout point at the Punto del Capo, the Portofino lighthouse.
Afterward, you will take the way back to the pier.
- This tour involves walking 2.5 miles (4 km) on flat and cobblestone ground and sloping floor. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun. Internal visits of the Church of San Giorgio and Portofino lighthouse are not included.

Charms of land and sea
From the pier, you will board a private boat for a 45-minute boat tour of the three islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto.
The islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site that includes Cinque Terre and Porto Venere. Although these islands are considered as one unit, each of them has its own history and rich culture. Tino is located on a military base and is therefore off-limits to tourists on most parts of the year. In Tinetto, there are several churches and ruined churches to explore. It reflects the religious culture of the people that inhabit this island. Palmaria is the most popular of these three islands. This island is best known for its beaches and the ocean that offers the perfect conditions for swimming, snorkelling, and diving.
Then, you will disembark at La Spezia for a walking tour. La Spezia is small and pretty, overlooking the Gulf of Poets, squeezed between the sea and the mountains. Your walking tour will take you to Via del Prione. You will discover La Spezia gardens, where you will notice many elements typical of the Art Nouveau era. Then, you will walk in front of the museum Amedeo Lia and the Piazza del Mercato (outside visits only). The famous market of La Spezia has its roots in the 19th century and has never closed since.
On the way back, you will stroll in the Morin promenade which is one of the most pleasant places in the city of La Spezia: true symbol of the city, it is characterized by a double row of palm trees with a mixed panorama consisting of the Apuan Alps to the east, the hills to the west and the waterfront that dominates the scene.
Afterward, you will board your private boat and cruise back to Porto Venere.
- This tour involves 0.9-mile (1,5 km) walking on flat and cobblestone ground, sometimes a bit steep. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun. The boat tour does not include stop on the Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto islands.

Western Elba
From the pier, board your coach for a 45-minute drive to Marciana Marina. Marciana Marina, which is wedged between the coast and the imposing steep slopes of Monte Capanne, is home to picturesque districts, small granite streets and pastel-coloured houses. At the entrance of the harbour is the Torre Saracena, an 11th-century tower. Upon your arrival, some free time will be allotted to explore the area at your leisure. Your guide will first give you a short historical and cultural introduction of this gem before letting you explore the town by yourself.
Then, you will board your coach for a 2-hour drive to Marina di Campo. On the way, you’ll enjoy a panoramic drive, passing by Chiessi, Fetovaia and Cavoli, including a photo stop.
Upon your arrival, you will visit Marina di Campo.

Porto Azzurro and Napoleon's Villa
From the pier, board your coach for your half-day tour around the island of Elba. After a 30-minute drive to Porto Azzurro, you will be able to discover the town with your local guide. Porto Azzurro is one of the most picturesque and relaxing seaside resorts on Elba. Situated along a deep inlet on the eastern side of the island, Porto Azzurro is dominated by the early 17th century star-shaped Fort of San Giacomo, or “Forte Longone”.
You will then return to your coach and continue to Portoferraio, where you will enjoy a guided walking tour through the town en-route to the Villa Dei Mulini, the former winter residence of French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. Although Napoleon’s exile on Elba was brief, he left behind a considerable cultural and historical heritage. During your visit to Villa Dei Mulini, you will discover paintings and other artefacts of this period. The garden is home to a copy of Canova’s Galatea and a statue of Minerva and offers a spectacular view of the Tuscan coast.
Finally, you will return to your coach and drive back to your ship.
- This tour involves walking 1.9 mile (3 km) on flat and cobblestones streets, with many steps to reach the Villa Dei Mulini (100 steps down to the port and 10 steps at the villa). We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun. The order of sights may vary.

The Capoliveri coasts are among the most beautiful on the island, and feature overhanging cliffs, crystal-clear bays and superb views over the gulfs of Lacona and Campo. From here, you will enjoy a short guided-tour before being allowed to stroll along the narrow, picturesque streets and archways, or ‘chiassi’, browse the small boutiques, or stop for traditional cuisine and fine wine.

Tiberio Villa and Sperlonga
Sperlonga's main cultural attraction is the museum erected on the grounds of the former villa of Tiberius, showing the groups of sculpture celebrating the deeds of Odysseus, found in a grotto. According to Tacitus and Suetonius, the roof of the grotto collapsed while Tiberius was dining, and Sejanus rushed to save Tiberius, for which Tiberius in gratitude promoted him, launching his rise to power. Tiberius moved to Capri after 26 AD.
The villa included a grotto where some famous sculptures, now housed in the museum, have been found: these portrayed the assault of Scylla to Odysseus' ship, the blinding of Polyphemus, the theft of the Palladium and Odysseus lifting Achilles's corpse. The works have been attributed to Rhodian sculptors which are thought to be the same authors of the group of "Laocoön and His Sons". Yet whether the very same artists are responsible is questionable.
After your visit to the National Archaeological Museum and the adjacent grounds of the former house of Tiberius, rejoin your coach for Sperlonga city centre.
Sperlonga is a small sea village characterised by white houses placed on a promontory above the sea, and was rightly awarded as one of the most beautiful towns in Italy. On arrival, follow your guide for a walking tour through the cobblestoned streets of the town. You will visit the historical centre, the Church of St. Mary of Speloncae and you will admire the Truglia Tower.
Before returning to your ship you will enjoy some free time followed by a small snack.
- This excursion involves about two hours of walking on uneven ground with about ten stairs to climb. We recommend you to bring comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun. Appropriate dress is recommended for visiting religious sites (shoulders and knees must be covered). The interior visit of religious monuments may be canceled in the event of preparation for a particular event or religious service. The snack is included in your excursion.

Split Mountain of Gaeta and historical centre
From the pier, embark your coach and drive through the hearth of Gaeta to discover the famous so called “Split Mountain”, which still receives continuous pilgrimages. Visit the Sanctuary of the Split Mountain. The complex is composed of the church of the Santissima Trinità, the Benedictine monastery dating from 1071 and the "Grotta del turco", an open corridor. After going down 35 stair steps, you will join the deep and suggestive central split: according to the tradition, the mountain split at the death of Christ.
The geological phenomenon and the constant religious tradition made the Split Mountain internationally famous: it has been visited by Saints, Popes and Kings for centuries.
Next, discover the historical centre of Gaeta. You will visit the Gothic church of the Santissima Annunziata, which was renewed with baroque decorations in 1621.
Walking up toward the promontory, you will discover the medieval area of the town, a little centre of art that represented the political and religious heart of the Ducal period (9th to 12th century). The alleys, buildings, narrow streets, towers, steps, portals and little bell towers from the 12th to the 13th and following centuries, make a very interesting ensemble. Going up the Via Pius IX you will arrive at the castle that dominates the whole medieval centre.
Continuing through the Via Angioina, you will arrive to the neo-gothic church of San Francesco, built during the reign of Ferdinando II in the memory of Pius IX who was then exiled in Gaeta. The church was transformed into barracks and a military hospital during the French domination.
After your guided tour, follow your guide for the 15-minute walk back to the pier.
- This excursion involves 3-hour of walking on uneven terrains and steep slopes with 60 steps to negotiate. We recommend you wear comfortable shoes and protect yourself from the sun. Appropriate dress must be worn when visiting religious buildings (shoulders and knees should be covered). The inside visit of the religious sites cannot be guaranteed in case of preparation for special event or church services.

Paestum
From the pier, embark your coach for a one-hour drive to Paestum, the city dedicated to Poseidon the god of the sea, and founded by the Greeks around 600 BC. Previously called Poseidonia, it was later occupied by the Lucanians, an italic population, from 400 BC until 273 BC, when it became a Roman colony under the name of Paestum.
Its three temples are the only example of Greek architecture and arts already present in Italy, and are better preserved than the Parthenon in Athens. The city was discovered under the marsh and the brushwood thanks to the King of Naples Carlo di Borbone III during the 17th century.
The Romans made of the ancient Poseidonia their colony, and subsequently it was embellished by magnificent buildings including the baths, the portico of the forum and the amphitheatre.
Walking through this ancient moment of history and looking at these imposing and gorgeous structures will leave an impression in people's mind of the best example of what the Greek culture was in the past.
Finally, you will board your coach and start your return drive to the ship.
- This tour involves one hour and a half of walking over uneven ground, we recommend you to wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun.

Pompeii
From the pier, embark your coach for a forty-five-minute drive to Pompeii.
Pompeii is considered the world's finest example of an ancient Roman town. The eruption of Vesuvius on August 24, 79 AD not only preserved structures, but also evidence of the ancient way of life, such as a fully equipped tavern with the last customer's money still on the counter.
Ancient Pompeii was a prosperous provincial centre with an estimated population of 20,000. Much of the town had been destroyed by an earthquake in 63 AD, and the rebuilding was still in process when the volcano erupted 16 years later. The whole town was buried beneath more than 20 feet (6 m) of ash and pumice stone. Residents were killed by lethal sulphur fumes or struck down by lava and pumice stone that rained down upon the city, although some of the people escaped. Abandoned until the 18th century, Pompeii was frozen in time until excavations revealed this amazing archaeological site. Plaster was poured into empty spaces in the lava to make body casts of some of the victims, such as a young man stretched out to protect his mother and young daughter, and the famous twisted body of a dog still tied to its chain.
The walking tour of Pompeii will be led by a guide who will help you relive the historical events and experience a typical day in antiquity. Admire the luxurious mansions and fabulous art of wealthy patricians who came to Pompeii to escape the turmoil in Rome. Their houses were designed around an inner garden with few windows on the exteriors, so residents could forget the outside world and get sunlight from their own courtyards. Visit some of the more modest homes and explore ancient baths, temples, theatres, markets and huge forum.
Finally, you will board your coach and start your return drive to the ship.
- This tour involves 2 hours of walking over uneven ground, we recommend you to wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun.

Wine tasting and Orbetello
From the pier, you will board your coach and take the 30-minute drive to La Parrina Estate.
Tenuta la Parrina is one of the oldest historic farms that lies between the low hills of the Tuscan Maremma in a spectacular landscape with olive trees, vineyards and fields of golden grain. The estate is spread on an area of about 200 hectares, 60 of which are destined to vineyards, 40 to fruit production, 20 to the horticultural, 22 to the olive plants, and the remaining are divided between arable land and growing nurseries.
Upon arrival, you will enjoy a guided visit of the estate, followed by wine tasting accompanied by local products. You will have the opportunity to see how to make a wine, starting with the grape harvest, through the vinification and aging and ending with bottling. La Parrina DOC wines are produced in the basement of the estate since 1971. The cellar is certainly a tribute to the land, because it is the instrument with which they produce quality wines, but it is also the physical location in which they give the opportunity to their guests to come into direct contact with the production philosophy.
Afterwards you will continue to Orbetello. This town is situated in the middle of a beautiful coastal lagoon. The small island where it stands is surrounded by the Levante and Ponente Lagoon, known respectively as the Tombolo della Feniglia and the Tombolo della Giannella, and offer visitors many kilometers of wonderful beaches. Here, you will explore with your local guide the charming streets. Orbetello is a lively and busy town whose principal resource has always been fishing, in fact, local seafood recipes are widely considered to be the best in the Maremma.
- The tour involves walking on flat and gravel ground during the visit of the estate. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun. Walking distance is at guest’s discretion.

Hiking the Spanish Fortresses
From the pier, you will board your coach and start your 15-minute drive to Porto Ercole, where three fortresses were built during the Spanish domination and still characterise the unique landscape of the Argentario promontory.
Your hike will begin with the visit of Forte Filippo, a pleasant uphill walk towards the top of the cliff. Once at the top, you will be able to cover the entire perimeter of the walkway built for the soldiers who controlled the territory. A large stretch of coast is visible from the Orbetello lagoon to the southern coast of Tuscany.
Then a short coach journey of few minutes takes you to Forte Stella. This star-shaped fortress overlooks the blue Tyrrhenian Sea. To create this imposing structure, the Spanish turned to Cosimo I de Medici, who entrusted the management of the work to the architects Bernardo Buontalenti and Giovanni Camerini. The project started in the 15th century and took a long time to be finished: Forte Stella was in fact completed only in the middle of the 16th century. Forte Stella was used mostly as a watchtower from which you can enjoy a panoramic view of the coast, running from the southern bank of the Argentario to the Capo Linaro promontory near Civitavecchia.
Finally, another short ride by coach will lead you to the Rocca Aldobrandesca with the imposing emblem of the State of the Presidios that dominates the entrance portal.
After your visit, you will board your coach for the 15-minute drive back to your ship.
- This excursion involves a walking distance of 2,8 miles (4,5 km) on easy paths. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun.

Panoramic Argentario and Porto Ercole
From the pier, you will meet your local guide and board your coach for the 40-minute panoramic drive to Porto Ercole. Here, you will start your walking tour of Porto Ercole, a lovely seaside resort located on the Argentario promontory.
The first inhabitants of Porto Ercole were fishermen and still today, walking along the small port, one encounters old sea wolves intent on repairing fishing nets. You will cross the Pisan door and take a walk in the heart of the village among alleys, squares overlooking the sea and stairways that will lead you to the church and then to the Rocca. You will walk along the promenade, where bars and restaurants with terraces overlooking the sea alternate with shops created from what once were fishermen's warehouses. You can still observe the construction sites dedicated to the repair work on the boats, and the landing of fish from the returning fishing boats.
In addition to the natural beauty, you will have the opportunity to admire the charm of the imposing Spanish fortresses that were built in the 16th century: Forte Filippo, the Rocca and Forte Stella.
On the way back to the port of Porto Santo Stefano, you will take a short detour to the convent of the Passionist Fathers, at the summit of Monte Argentario. At an altitude of 273 meters you will enjoy the splendid panorama that can be admired from the square. The convent, surrounded by generous vegetation, was built in the late 1700s at the behest of St. Paul of the Cross. The Passionist Fathers promote the memory of Christ's Passion, live in community and lead a life of study, prayer and missionary activity.
- This tour involves walking approximately 2.5 km, sometimes uphill and downhill, with some steps. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun. The inside visit of the convent is not included. Order of sights may vary.

Portofino walking tour
Through the centuries, Portofino functioned primarily as a fishing village and, occasionally, as a small naval port. Today, it is a classy resort-village. Portofino's miniscule bay is neatly packed with pricey yachts, common boats and, as a vestige of its past, some fishing boats.
From the pier, you will meet your local guide and start your panoramic walking tour. If you don't bring your camera to Portofino, you will regret it. The town is striking with its brightly colored antique buildings hovering over sparkling blue water. And the surrounding luxuriant green hillsides of the Portofino Promontory are equally stunning.
Your walk heads up to the right as you face the harbour. You will enjoy a path through one of the largest concentrations of flora and fauna in the Mediterranean. For some fantastic views of the entire bay and the Tigullian Gulf, you will walk up the hill to the Church of San Giorgio. Perched high above the town, this church contains relics of St. George brought over by crusaders from the Holy Land. From here you will walk to another great lookout point at the Punto del Capo, the Portofino lighthouse.
Afterward, you will take the way back to the pier.
- This tour involves walking 2.5 miles (4 km) on flat and cobblestone ground and sloping floor. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun. Internal visits of the Church of San Giorgio and Portofino lighthouse are not included.

Charms of land and sea
From the pier, you will board a private boat for a 45-minute boat tour of the three islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto.
The islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site that includes Cinque Terre and Porto Venere. Although these islands are considered as one unit, each of them has its own history and rich culture. Tino is located on a military base and is therefore off-limits to tourists on most parts of the year. In Tinetto, there are several churches and ruined churches to explore. It reflects the religious culture of the people that inhabit this island. Palmaria is the most popular of these three islands. This island is best known for its beaches and the ocean that offers the perfect conditions for swimming, snorkelling, and diving.
Then, you will disembark at La Spezia for a walking tour. La Spezia is small and pretty, overlooking the Gulf of Poets, squeezed between the sea and the mountains. Your walking tour will take you to Via del Prione. You will discover La Spezia gardens, where you will notice many elements typical of the Art Nouveau era. Then, you will walk in front of the museum Amedeo Lia and the Piazza del Mercato (outside visits only). The famous market of La Spezia has its roots in the 19th century and has never closed since.
On the way back, you will stroll in the Morin promenade which is one of the most pleasant places in the city of La Spezia: true symbol of the city, it is characterized by a double row of palm trees with a mixed panorama consisting of the Apuan Alps to the east, the hills to the west and the waterfront that dominates the scene.
Afterward, you will board your private boat and cruise back to Porto Venere.
- This tour involves 0.9-mile (1,5 km) walking on flat and cobblestone ground, sometimes a bit steep. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun. The boat tour does not include stop on the Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto islands.

Porto Azzurro and Napoleon's Villa
From the pier, board your coach for your half-day tour around the island of Elba. After a 30-minute drive to Porto Azzurro, you will be able to discover the town with your local guide. Porto Azzurro is one of the most picturesque and relaxing seaside resorts on Elba. Situated along a deep inlet on the eastern side of the island, Porto Azzurro is dominated by the early 17th century star-shaped Fort of San Giacomo, or “Forte Longone”.
You will then return to your coach and continue to Portoferraio, where you will enjoy a guided walking tour through the town en-route to the Villa Dei Mulini, the former winter residence of French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. Although Napoleon’s exile on Elba was brief, he left behind a considerable cultural and historical heritage. During your visit to Villa Dei Mulini, you will discover paintings and other artefacts of this period. The garden is home to a copy of Canova’s Galatea and a statue of Minerva and offers a spectacular view of the Tuscan coast.
Finally, you will return to your coach and drive back to your ship.
- This tour involves walking 1.9 mile (3 km) on flat and cobblestones streets, with many steps to reach the Villa Dei Mulini (100 steps down to the port and 10 steps at the villa). We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun. The order of sights may vary.

Tiberio Villa and Sperlonga
Sperlonga's main cultural attraction is the museum erected on the grounds of the former villa of Tiberius, showing the groups of sculpture celebrating the deeds of Odysseus, found in a grotto. According to Tacitus and Suetonius, the roof of the grotto collapsed while Tiberius was dining, and Sejanus rushed to save Tiberius, for which Tiberius in gratitude promoted him, launching his rise to power. Tiberius moved to Capri after 26 AD.
The villa included a grotto where some famous sculptures, now housed in the museum, have been found: these portrayed the assault of Scylla to Odysseus' ship, the blinding of Polyphemus, the theft of the Palladium and Odysseus lifting Achilles's corpse. The works have been attributed to Rhodian sculptors which are thought to be the same authors of the group of "Laocoön and His Sons". Yet whether the very same artists are responsible is questionable.
After your visit to the National Archaeological Museum and the adjacent grounds of the former house of Tiberius, rejoin your coach for Sperlonga city centre.
Sperlonga is a small sea village characterised by white houses placed on a promontory above the sea, and was rightly awarded as one of the most beautiful towns in Italy. On arrival, follow your guide for a walking tour through the cobblestoned streets of the town. You will visit the historical centre, the Church of St. Mary of Speloncae and you will admire the Truglia Tower.
Before returning to your ship you will enjoy some free time followed by a small snack.
- This excursion involves about two hours of walking on uneven ground with about ten stairs to climb. We recommend you to bring comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun. Appropriate dress is recommended for visiting religious sites (shoulders and knees must be covered). The interior visit of religious monuments may be canceled in the event of preparation for a particular event or religious service. The snack is included in your excursion.

Split Mountain of Gaeta and historical centre
From the pier, embark your coach and drive through the hearth of Gaeta to discover the famous so called “Split Mountain”, which still receives continuous pilgrimages. Visit the Sanctuary of the Split Mountain. The complex is composed of the church of the Santissima Trinità, the Benedictine monastery dating from 1071 and the "Grotta del turco", an open corridor. After going down 35 stair steps, you will join the deep and suggestive central split: according to the tradition, the mountain split at the death of Christ.
The geological phenomenon and the constant religious tradition made the Split Mountain internationally famous: it has been visited by Saints, Popes and Kings for centuries.
Next, discover the historical centre of Gaeta. You will visit the Gothic church of the Santissima Annunziata, which was renewed with baroque decorations in 1621.
Walking up toward the promontory, you will discover the medieval area of the town, a little centre of art that represented the political and religious heart of the Ducal period (9th to 12th century). The alleys, buildings, narrow streets, towers, steps, portals and little bell towers from the 12th to the 13th and following centuries, make a very interesting ensemble. Going up the Via Pius IX you will arrive at the castle that dominates the whole medieval centre.
Continuing through the Via Angioina, you will arrive to the neo-gothic church of San Francesco, built during the reign of Ferdinando II in the memory of Pius IX who was then exiled in Gaeta. The church was transformed into barracks and a military hospital during the French domination.
After your guided tour, follow your guide for the 15-minute walk back to the pier.
- This excursion involves 3-hour of walking on uneven terrains and steep slopes with 60 steps to negotiate. We recommend you wear comfortable shoes and protect yourself from the sun. Appropriate dress must be worn when visiting religious buildings (shoulders and knees should be covered).

Paestum
From the pier, embark your coach for a one-hour drive to Paestum, the city dedicated to Poseidon the god of the sea, and founded by the Greeks around 600 BC. Previously called Poseidonia, it was later occupied by the Lucanians, an italic population, from 400 BC until 273 BC, when it became a Roman colony under the name of Paestum.
Its three temples are the only example of Greek architecture and arts already present in Italy, and are better preserved than the Parthenon in Athens. The city was discovered under the marsh and the brushwood thanks to the King of Naples Carlo di Borbone III during the 17th century.
The Romans made of the ancient Poseidonia their colony, and subsequently it was embellished by magnificent buildings including the baths, the portico of the forum and the amphitheatre.
Walking through this ancient moment of history and looking at these imposing and gorgeous structures will leave an impression in people's mind of the best example of what the Greek culture was in the past.
Finally, you will board your coach and start your return drive to the ship.
- This tour involves one hour and a half of walking over uneven ground, we recommend you to wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun.

Pompeii
From the pier, embark your coach for a forty-five-minute drive to Pompeii.
Pompeii is considered the world's finest example of an ancient Roman town. The eruption of Vesuvius on August 24, 79 AD not only preserved structures, but also evidence of the ancient way of life, such as a fully equipped tavern with the last customer's money still on the counter.
Ancient Pompeii was a prosperous provincial centre with an estimated population of 20,000. Much of the town had been destroyed by an earthquake in 63 AD, and the rebuilding was still in process when the volcano erupted 16 years later. The whole town was buried beneath more than 20 feet (6 m) of ash and pumice stone. Residents were killed by lethal sulphur fumes or struck down by lava and pumice stone that rained down upon the city, although some of the people escaped. Abandoned until the 18th century, Pompeii was frozen in time until excavations revealed this amazing archaeological site. Plaster was poured into empty spaces in the lava to make body casts of some of the victims, such as a young man stretched out to protect his mother and young daughter, and the famous twisted body of a dog still tied to its chain.
The walking tour of Pompeii will be led by a guide who will help you relive the historical events and experience a typical day in antiquity. Admire the luxurious mansions and fabulous art of wealthy patricians who came to Pompeii to escape the turmoil in Rome. Their houses were designed around an inner garden with few windows on the exteriors, so residents could forget the outside world and get sunlight from their own courtyards. Visit some of the more modest homes and explore ancient baths, temples, theatres, markets and huge forum.
Finally, you will board your coach and start your return drive to the ship.
- This tour involves 2 hours of walking over uneven ground, we recommend you to wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun.

Wine tasting and Orbetello
From the pier, you will board your coach and take the 30-minute drive to La Parrina Estate.
Tenuta la Parrina is one of the oldest historic farms that lies between the low hills of the Tuscan Maremma in a spectacular landscape with olive trees, vineyards and fields of golden grain. The estate is spread on an area of about 200 hectares, 60 of which are destined to vineyards, 40 to fruit production, 20 to the horticultural, 22 to the olive plants, and the remaining are divided between arable land and growing nurseries.
Upon arrival, you will enjoy a guided visit of the estate, followed by wine tasting accompanied by local products. You will have the opportunity to see how to make a wine, starting with the grape harvest, through the vinification and aging and ending with bottling. La Parrina DOC wines are produced in the basement of the estate since 1971. The cellar is certainly a tribute to the land, because it is the instrument with which they produce quality wines, but it is also the physical location in which they give the opportunity to their guests to come into direct contact with the production philosophy.
Afterwards you will continue to Orbetello. This town is situated in the middle of a beautiful coastal lagoon. The small island where it stands is surrounded by the Levante and Ponente Lagoon, known respectively as the Tombolo della Feniglia and the Tombolo della Giannella, and offer visitors many kilometers of wonderful beaches. Here, you will explore with your local guide the charming streets. Orbetello is a lively and busy town whose principal resource has always been fishing, in fact, local seafood recipes are widely considered to be the best in the Maremma.
- The tour involves walking on flat and gravel ground during the visit of the estate. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun. Walking distance is at guest’s discretion.
