Itineraries
Western Mediterranean 7-day loops (Barcelona, Rome, Naples); repositioning sailings. Livorno is a call port — Florence is the excursion.
Compare departure dates — the same cabin can swing hundreds between peak and shoulder season.
Shore excursions
- Florence: Uffizi/Duomo (shuttle ~1h30 each way — the long excursion day)
- Pisa & the Leaning Tower (30 min)
- Lucca's walls (40 min)
- Livorno itself: the Venezia Nuova canals, Mercato Centrale
Getting to the port
Ship excursions run coaches to Florence (~1h15–1h30); independent travellers take the train via Pisa. Pre-cruise: stay in Florence or Pisa.
What to pack & when to book
Book Florence-excursion ships early — the Uffizi/Accademia timed entries sell out. Pack walking shoes: it's a long day.
Pre-cruise hotel: stay near the port the night before — book via Booking.com and compare.
