Day 1-8 On this escorted cruise on MS Borealis, experience the irresistible allure and vibrant colours of stunning towns like Portofino and the colourful Cinque Terre, perched on the edges of dramatic cliffs. Immerse yourself in 'la dolce vita' (the sweet life) as you embark on scenic coastal walks, relaxed boat rides, and indulge in the cherished tradition of the 'passeggiata' – an evening stroll in Savona. Savor authentic local flavours, like zesty lemon-infused limoncello in Monterosso, where we arrive in time for the annual Lemon Festival! You can also explore the region’s maritime legacy at iconic landmarks like the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Renaissance gems of Florence.
