Small Ship Italy Cruises





Experience Italy in Private Yacht Style
Visit smaller ports off the beaten path and off the big ship radar.
Our port-rich itineraries take you to a number of diverse and interesting towns, and overnights give you time to explore and learn what makes each port special.
Our cruise tours combine highlights along the coast with a few days of exploring destinations further inland so you get the best of both ship and shore.
Mount Edna blesses Taormina with fertile soil to nourish grapes that provide the finest wine in the area. Try a glass as you peruse the irresistible beaches, medieval buildings, and ancient Greek theater.
Accessible only by path or boat is the breathtaking landscape and rocky formation of Punta Chippa.
