Culture & Coastline of Italy

Fri 2nd - Tue 20th April: Culture & Coastline of Italy

    Friday 2nd April 2027 - Tuesday 20th April 2027

    19 Days

    From £2,499

    Early spring brings longer, warmer days and fewer crowds to Italy, allowing you to enjoy its charm and culture in comfort before the peak season heat and bustle. No visit would be complete without savouring the country's world-famous cuisine – from sipping espresso at an al fresco café and cooling off with creamy gelato to tasting fresh focaccia in Liguria and a glass of light Vermentino in a Sardinian piazza. Two days in La Spezia offer time to discover Cinque Terre's pastel-coloured cliffside villages at a relaxed pace, while Civitavecchia is your gateway to Rome's icons, including the Colosseum. Elsewhere, enjoy a call into Menorca, where only smaller ships can dock, and watch the scenery slip by as you sail away through the island's narrow harbour.
