Taly Guided Tour Linked With Med Cruise Offers Best Of Two Worlds
Italy cruise tours blend a pre-cruise escorted Italy tourand/or a post-cruise Italy escorted tour with a cruise from an Italian port. This way travellers may travel to popular Italian destinations like the Amalfi Coast, the Italian Lakes, the Italian Riviera, Rome, Florence, Venice and Milan and then embark a cruise from Rome or cruise from Venice. These tours combine the very best of both worlds because travelers may be able to tour Italy by land and then cruise to the colorful Mediterranean ports all in one trip. And with today’s airfare to Europe from the U. S. so expensive and with Europe offering a lot to the traveller these type of vacations are becoming very popular. Another lovely benefit to this kind of holiday is it is long enough to allow the traveller enough holiday time to slow down and unwind from the strains of life so the holiday is completely enjoyed and the destinations tasted like a fine wine , slowly.
Europe and Italy especially have a lot to offer in addition to the Mediterranean ports, that many tourists need to further explore the country’s many engaging destinations on a Italy land tour before or after their Italy cruise. Travelers wish to make the best of their time in Italy, so that the cruise and tour Italy holiday package makes it easy for travellers to immerse themselves in some of the most superb places in Italy with an Italy tour mixed with a cruise from Italy.
When cruising from Rome a popular agenda is the classic North to South Italian towns check-list. This tour starts with a flight into Venice and then includes visiting Venice, Florence, and Rome on an escorted Italy tour. After the Italy land tour travellers cruise from Rome’s Civitavecchia cruise port to either the Eastern Mediterranean like the Greek Isles and Turkey or the Western Mediterranean like Spain, France, Sicily, and North Africa. Cruises from Civitavecchia typically are 7- to 12-nights and the land tour adds another 7-nights, so that this Italy holiday is two- to three-weeks long.
When cruising from Venice a popular itinerary is to tour Italy’s north from West to East. Holidaymakers fly into Milan, then tour for a few days the Italian Lakes region such as Lake Como, Switzerland, and Lake Maggiore. Then, on the way to Venice the tours pass thru Parma or Bologna in the Emilia Romagna region and Verona, Vicenza, and Padua in the Veneto area. Then travellers go to Venice to embark their cruise from Venice. Cruises from Venice focus on the Adriatic such as along the Dalmatian Coast, or the Eastern Mediterranean such as the Greek Isles and Turkey, and a seriously popular check-list is the cruise around Italy from Venice to Rome or Barcelona. This sort of itinerary is also anywhere from two- to thee-weeks.
For the traveller who can take 2 – 3 weeks away from home and work, and who would like to a fully explore the southern European culture to see where the history of Western civilization flourished, then travelling by land around Italy and exploring the ports around the Mediterranean Sea is the ideal trip made simple and cost-effective by the Italy cruise tour.
