Whether you’re cruising to Rome as a port of call, point of embarkation, or departure port for you, book Mediterranean shore excursions that show off the marvelous sights and glorious treasures of The Eternal City: the Colosseum, Circus Maximus, St. Peter’s Basilica, and the Sistine Chapel to name a few. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, ensuring that you’ll return to Rome in the future. The scenic route to Florence from the Italy cruise port of Livorno takes you past steep hills and deep valleys to arrive in the dazzling city of the Renaissance for the tour of a lifetime: Visit the Galleria dell’ Accademia to see Michelangelo’s “David”, shop jewelry and leather stores as you stroll across the Ponte Vecchio, and so much more.
Book an exclusive Discovery private adventure to the picturesque Amalfi Coast, starting in Naples with a view of Mt. Vesuvius. Enjoy a respite in Positano, then continue on to Sorrento to visit the vestiges of the lost city of Pompeii.
Schedule Mediterranean shore excursions to explore the sun-drenched coast of France; hop on a motor-assisted bike to see, among other wonders, the lush lavender fields and olive groves of Provence; kayak along canals in Sete, the French Mediterranean’s largest fishing port.

Mediterranean cruise excursions can have you sailing off the south coast of Mykonos; basking on an un-touristy beach in Corfu; walking the ancient ruins of Athens; or cooking typical Greek specialties alongside a local family.
