Cruise Overview

Italy's vibrant capital lives in the present, but no other city on earth evokes its past so powerfully.

For over 2,500 years, emperors, popes, artists, and common citizens have left their mark here.

Archaeological remains from ancient Rome, art-stuffed churches, and the treasures of Vatican City vie for your attention, but Rome is also a wonderful place to practice the Italian-perfected il dolce far niente, the sweet art of idleness.

Your most memorable experiences may include sitting at a caffè in the Campo de' Fiori or strolling in a beguiling piazza.
Sorrento may have become a jumping-off point for visitors to Pompeii, Capri, and Amalfi, but you can find countless reasons to love it for itself.

The Sorrentine people are fair-minded and hardworking, bubbling with life and warmth.

The tuff cliff on which the town rests is spread over the bay, absorbing sunlight, while orange and lemon trees waft their perfume in spring.

Winding along a cliff above a small beach and two harbors, the town is split in two by a narrow ravine formed by a former mountain stream.

To the east, dozens of hotels line busy Via Correale along the cliff—many have "grand" included in their names, and some indeed still are.

To the west, however, is the historic sector, which still enchants.

It's a relatively flat area, with winding, stone-paved lanes bordered by balconied buildings, some joined by medieval stone arches.

The central piazza is named after the poet Torquato Tasso, born here in 1544.

This part of town is a delightful place to walk through.

Craftspeople are often at work in their stalls and shops and are happy to let you watch; in fact, that's the point.

Music spots and bars cluster in the side streets near Piazza Tasso.
Home to the Museo Regionale of Messina, known for featuring two of Caravaggio's paintings, the city is also famous for having been the capital of the ancient kingdom of Sicily.
