Our cruise embarked and disembarked at Civitavecchia but due to a problem with the ship engine it meant that we arrived in to Civitavecchia a day earlier than we were meant to as a port of call to Livorno was cancelled as we wouldn’t make it back to Civitavecchia in time for disembarkation. The port…

Port Guide: Athens
On our cruise of Greece and Italy we docked at Piraeus which is where you dock to go to Athens. To get from the port of Piraeus to Athens we decided we would get on the hop-on hop-off tour bus which took you from the port to the Acropolis where you then have to change…
Port Guide: Messina
A port of call to Messina in Sicily fell on a Sunday which meant that there was not much open. This was a late arrival to the port as we arrived at midday, at this port of call we decided that the best option would be to do the tour bus which cost €10 to…

When docking at Naples there are plenty of places to visit from the port as you are able to visit Capri, Pompeii and Sorrento. When docked in Naples you will be able to see Mt Vesuvius which is the second most dangerous volcano and is still active and has destroyed a nearby town called Pompeii….
Port Guide: Valetta
On the latest cruise I did I went to a country that had never really been on my list of places to visit as we docked in Valetta in Malta. Valetta is a port that I would recommend rising early for so that you are able to see the sail in as it’s worth seeing….

Port Guide: Saint Petersburg
Russia is a country that I have never previously thought of visiting but my cruise took me to Saint Petersburg which included an overnight stay in port. Saint Petersburg is a city that I thought was beautiful, my visit to Saint Petersburg fell at the same time of the 2018 Football World Cup. Visiting Saint…
Port Guide: Copenhagen
Copenhagen is a city that I’ve always wanted to visit for a city break so this port of call was perfect to give me a taste of the city. Once getting off the ship we decided to get on the hip on hop off tour bus so that we would be able to see a…
Port Guide: Skagen
On my Baltic cruise Skagen was the last port of call. A port where I didn’t know what to expect as it was not a part of Denmark I’d heard of. Most people will recognise the name Skagen from the brand of watches. Skagen is Denmark’s main fishing port which you are able to see…
