Departing from La Spezia, we will cruise past all five villages, hugging the coastline as not to miss the highlights of the rugged landscape, hidden coves and historic relics visible only by sea and under the guidence of our expert crew.
Along the way, there will be time to stop and swim in the crystal clear blue sea, or simply relax on the boat, as the setting sun dances off the water.
As we await the sunset, we will explore the magical bay of Portovenere, including Byron’s Grotto, before sharing a toast in front of the beautiful backdrop of Portovenere.
We will then return to La Spezia in the beautiful twilight.

Often overlooked but arguably the most beautiful of the coastal villages of the area, Portovenere is also the most ancient, with such historic wonders as the Church of St. Peter that perches almost camouflaged atop the sheer rock face at the westernmost point of the town, and the dominating Doria Castle that overlooks the village. UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the Cinque Terre

The northern most village of the Cinque Terre is Monterosso, which is separated into two sides: the historic center and the “new” side called Fegina, with a pedestrian tunnel connecting the two. Monterosso is more sprawling than the other villages and is the only one that offers beach services, therefore making it the most visited of the Cinque Terre.

Vernazza which is the smallest of the Cinque Terre, and commonly known as the most charming with a beautiful little harbor and the Church of St. Margaret of Antioch that sits right on the water.

As we continue to cruise up along the coast, the last one of the Cinque Terre villages that we will come across is Riomaggiore.
