Itinerary
1
Parco Regionale delle Alpi Apuane
Your English-speaking driver will pick you up from your location or directly from the Cruise Terminal. As we drive along the highway, enjoy the stunning views of the Apuan Alps, where Renaissance masters such as Michelangelo once sourced their famous marble. Passing the beautiful Gulf of Poets and the city of La Spezia, we’ll reach the Cinque Terre National Park.
2
Porto Venere
Our first stop is the enchanting village of Portovenere, perfectly positioned at the gateway to the Gulf of La Spezia. Stroll through its colorful harbor and medieval alleyways, discover the striking Church of San Pietro dramatically perched on the cliffs, and admire the historic Doria Castle overlooking Palmaria Island. Don’t miss Byron’s Cave, where stunning sea views have inspired poets and travelers for centuries.
45 minutes
3
Manarola
Our next stop is the breathtaking village of Manarola, dramatically perched on a cliff 70 meters above the sea. Renowned for its vibrant houses tumbling down to the harbor, Manarola is one of the oldest Cinque Terre villages, dating back to the 14th century. Wander through its charming lanes, soak in the spectacular sea views, and capture the postcard-perfect scenery that makes this village a photographer’s dream. From here, you can choose to continue exploring the other Cinque Terre villages either by boat or by train. Given the spectacular beauty of the coastline, we highly recommend taking the boat if the sea is calm — it’s an unforgettable way to admire the villages from the water. Your driver will be happy to show you where to purchase the tickets.

4
Vernazza
Next is Vernazza, the fourth village heading north, known for its car-free streets, elegant houses, and natural harbor. A true fishing village, its name originates from the Latin "verna", meaning "native."Here, we suggest stopping for lunch and tasting some of the local specialties — fresh seafood, the famous pesto, or the delicious schiacciata with cheese. Don’t miss the chance to pair your meal with a glass of the excellent Cinque Terre white wine, a true local delight.
1 hour
5
Monterosso al Mare
The final stop is Monterosso, the largest of the Cinque Terre villages, divided between the charming old town and the newer Fegina area. Surrounded by lemon groves and vineyards, Monterosso enchants visitors with its golden beaches, dramatic cliffs, and medieval ruins — including ancient watchtowers once used to spot approaching pirates.
At the end of your visit, you’ll meet your driver at the parking area in Fegina, so you won’t need to walk back — allowing you to make the most of every minute of your tour.
We recommend this excursion if you have plenty of time in port or if your ship stays overnight, so you can fully enjoy the magic and beauty of the Cinque Terre without rushing.
