MSC Armonia

Take a leisurely few hours off the ship to leave Brindisi and head for Porto Cesareo on the beautifual Apulian coastline. The coach transfer will take about 40 minutes, after which you'll board a boat to cruise the 30-km stretch of coastline that links Porto Cesareo with Punta Prosciutto, a Protected Marine Area. You'll cruise around the capes, islets and reegs within these waters and stops will be included for you to take a dip in the turquoise sea. You'll also pass an underwater archaeological site where Greco-Roman columns can be seen in the water on your way to Isola dei Conigli, the larger of the islands near Porto Cesareo. Also called Rabbit Island for reasons that are not entirely clear, the spot is perfect for relaxing, working on your tan, taking a dip, or going for a stroll. Just don't expect any rabbits. A chance to go snorkelling as well as a snack of Apulian bread, olives and tuna are also included in the itinerary. Your outing ends with your return to the ship by coach.

Leave the port with a local guide and drive along the highway to Ostuni, "the white lady" stands on three hills in Murge. It was an important Greek  Roman city in the first century AD. The picturesque medieval village with its white houses with winding streets and cobbled alleyways dominates the plains below. The brightness of its whitewashed houses sets against the pink-tinged brown of its main monuments. Bits of baroque twist out of unexpected places, including the obelisk, 21 m high, devoted to Sant'Oronzo. Its own cathedral is the most eloquent expression of the importance of this town. It has an important façade in late gothic style belonging to XV century. Visitors will be captured by Delia's story, a woman who died 25.000 years ago. She was pregnant when she died and her skeleton together with her phoetus was discovered in Ostuni in 1991. A particular mix of characteristics makes Ostuni the most typical example of Apulian town architecture. The tour includes a visit to a typical oil mill with a tasting session of olive oil.

Get your fill of the wonderful Apulian city of Brindisi, whose origins date right back to the 16th century B.C., from the comfort of a modern coach on this leisurely sightseeing tour. First up is the Gothic-Romanesque-style Church of Santa Maria del Casale, a somewhat monolithic building of late 13th-century construction with a striking façade of grey and yellow stones that is situated a short drive from the city. After some time to view the interior, complete with 14th-century frescoes, your coach returns to the city to drop you off in the old town, which you will then have a chance to explore on foot. Your starting point will be the columns of the Appian Way that head a staircase which in turn leads to Brindisi's 12th-century Romanesque cathedral - the place where both King Ruggero II and his son, Frederick II, got married. As you continue your walk down the main street of the old town, further stops will be made at the gorgeous Church of San Giovanni al Sepolcro, which was constructed in the 1100s and features a circular plan, as well as at the San Pietro degli Schiavoni Roman archaeological excavations, which continue to remind visitors of the past - all the while overlooked by the modernist architecture of the Teatro Verdi, which was inaugurated only in December 2006. After some free time to explore the modern part of the city, the tour concludes with your return to the ship.

A 40-minute coach ride to the south of Brindisi will take you to a place that is often called "the Florence of the south", the lovely old Apulian town of Lecce, which was influenced and shaped by periods of Roman, Greek, Ostrogoth and Norman rule. Celebrated both for its more than 2.000-year history and a wealth of Baroque-style buildings, Lecce is well worth exploring, which this enjoyable sightseeing tour gives you a chance to do in the best way possible: on foot. From the beautiful Piazza S. Oronzo in the heart of the city and the impressive Roman Amphitheatre, through the Church of the Holy Cross, which took a staggering 345 years to build and was finally completed in 1695, and the mid-16th-century Castle of Charles V, right up to the Baroque-style Celestines' Convent and the magnificent Piazza del Duomo in the town centre, Lecce rewards visitors with lovely views and vistas by the score. You will also learn about paperwork process as your guide will take you in the city area where all traditional laboratories are located. Do take your camera and make lasting memories to show the folks at home. After your guided tour, there will still be some time for you to stroll around or to do some shopping before beginning your pleasant return journey back to the port through the appealing Apulian countryside.

Leave the port of Brindisi for a scenic 1-hour coach ride through the Italian countryside to Alberobello, a town in the Apulia region that forms the top of the "heel" of the boot of Italy. Thanks to its distinctive mortarless round stone houses with conical roofs, known as "trulli", the town was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites in 1996. Your tour includes a guided walk through the delightful streets of this most unusual village. Many of these "trullo" houses are topped by a so-called "pinnacolo" - a sort of white cap or sphere - and all of them have curious symbols, possibly good-luck charms, painted on the roofs. The town also includes the only "trullo" church in the world, St. Antonio which can be easily recognized with its monumental entrance, two side chapels and a bell tower. You will return to the port.

This tour is especially created for those who like independent exploration. Leave the port of Bari for an hour coach drive through the Italian countryside to Alberobello. Once in town, you will have plenty of time to discover this UNESCO World Heritage sites. Explore the famous "trulli" houses, topped by a so-called "pinnacolo", a sort of white cap or sphere, or take a walk in the streets of the town, looking for a souvenir. Make sure to be in time at the place to pick up your coach to return to the port and your ship.

Leave Brindisi and head for Porto Cesareo on the beautifual Apulian coastline. The coach transfer will take about 40 minutes, after which you'll board a boat to cruise the 30-km stretch of coastline that links Porto Cesareo with Punta Prosciutto, a Protected Marine Area. You'll cruise around the capes, islets and reefs within these waters and stops will be included for you to take a dip in the turquoise sea. You'll also pass an underwater archaeological site where Greco-Roman columns can be seen in the water on your way to Isola dei Conigli, the larger of the islands near Porto Cesareo. Also called Rabbit Island for reasons that are not entirely clear, the spot is perfect for relaxing, working on your tan, taking a dip or going for a stroll. Just don't expect any rabbits. A chance to go snorkelling as well as a snack of Apulian bread, olives and tuna are also included in the itinerary. Your outing ends with your return to the ship by coach.

Just a short coach drive from Corfu port in the town of Agios Ioannis lies the largest waterpark in the whole of Greece: Aqualand. This is an ideal destination for the whole family with any number of water-based attractions to keep you entertained. Have a go on the Giant Slides, the Multislide, the Black Hole, the Four Twisters, the Kamikazees, the Crazy River or the Hydritube for bags of watery fun. For younger guests, the park also provides special children's areas such as a shallow pool and waterslides as well as the Slippery Octopus, Screaming Frog and Shower Mushroom. You will have plenty of time to enjoy the park's numerous attractions and services, which also include bars, restaurants, cabins, sunbeds, and parasols. Your tour ends with your return to the port and your ship.

Team up with a few friends and prepare for a wild, self-driven ride through Corfu's appealing interior on this jeep-based exploration. The scenic route, replete with gorgeous views, will take you through quaint mountain villages along winding roads en route to the village of Doukades, located in northwest Corfu, for a first photo stop. Then it's on to Allimatades, another pretty village where you'll have some time to explore on your own and take photos of both sides of the island, which can be seen from here. Next up, you'll drive back down the mountain to reach the southern tip of Corfu and the 10-km/6-mile stretch of sand known as Agios Georgios Beach, one of the island's loveliest. After some time to relax, enjoy the sun and go for a swim, you'll make your way back to the port and your ship.

In the days of ancient Greece, Corfu marked the final stage of the legendary trip made by the mythological Greek god, Odysseus, on his journey home to Ithaca. While hardly of epic proportions, this tour will certainly give you a chance to enjoy Corfu's lush landscape as you travel around the island. The excursion includes a visit to Achilleion's Palace, a beautiful white mansion and the former residence of Queen Elizabeth of Austria  who was affectionately known as Sissi. The richly decorated palace is set in pretty gardens overlooking the sea and is dedicated to another hero from Greek mythology, Achilles. Before you return to the port and your ship, a brief photo stop to admire the Kanoni Peninsula is on the list. You will also have a chance to pay Corfu town a brief visit and spend a little free time strolling around.

Your Greek island excursion begins with a scenic coach ride of about 30 minutes through the lush olive groves, pine trees and cypresses of the Corfu landscape to reach the Kum Quat Factory, your first stop. The informative visit will give you a chance to learn all about how kumquats are harvested and then turned into delicious liqueurs and other fruity treats. Then it is on to the beautiful bay of Palaiokastritsa for some free time to explore the area surrounded by woods and olive trees. The tour then continues up to the mountainside location of Lakones, with more breathtaking views of Palaiokastritsa to enjoy. After a short stop to soak up the atmosphere and perhaps take some photos, it is on to the traditional village of Makrades and the charming "Colombos" taverna where traditional Greek appetizers  so-called meze  will be served along with some local wine or ouzo, the famous Greek aniseed-flavoured aperitif. The taverna's interior is decorated with traditional 18th- and 19th-century agricultural tools and an intriguing old olive press, which offer a glimpse into a bygone age. This scenic island tour ends with your return to the port and your ship.

Take some time off the ship to join an enjoyable tour that will take you past some of the hidden gems gracing Corfu's shoreline. After a coach ride to Palaiokastritsa, you'll board the boat and set sail. A first photo stop will be made at the beautiful Nausicaa Cave before you move on to Stelari Beach. About 1 hour will be yours at the beach to enjoy the location, relax in the sun or go for a refreshing swim. Back on the boat again, you'll pass a rock formation that some say looks like a lion, some a monkey but that is called the Lion's Head, after which a stop is scheduled at the Blue Eye - another cave with a patch of astoundingly blue water - and the Nikolas Caves as a final treat. Once the boat has returned you to Palaiokastritsa, you'll have some free time to spend on your own before you get back to the ship.

The beautiful little nearshore island of Lokrum is your destination on this appealing half-day kayaking tour, which begins when you meet your tour guide and set off from the small port of Pile. You'll then find yourself paddling along the shore-facing side of the isle - also called the Island of Love - to reach the secluded Betina beach, home also to a popular cave. This is where you'll be able to enjoy a snorkelling break and explore the location from an underwater perspective. The beach is accessible only by sea and affords stunning views of the old city walls, towards which you'll paddle after the snorkelling break. Feast your eyes on views of beaches, palm trees, boats, waterside villas, and hotels as you make your way past the so-called Pearl of the Adriatic, a journey that promises to showcase Dubrovnik from a unique perspective. Your kayak activity ends at Pile Bay, after which you'll return to the ship.

Leave the port and reach the hill overlooking Dubrovnik's old town where a first short stop is scheduled for picture-taking. Next, board your coach and enjoy a 1-hour drive to Ljuta where you will pick up your bike and start your exploration of the Croatian countryside through the Konavle region with its cypress trees, vineyards, olive groves and traditional villages. Throughout centuries, Konavle has managed to maintain a traditional country-type of living along with many chapels, cloisters, and summer houses that once hosted the Dubrovnik's high-class lairds. Cadmos Village, located on a knoll surrounded by cypress and vineyards, will be the perfect location for a wine session including cheese, Dalmatian dry-cured ham, and local wine. Suitably fortified, you will return to Dubrovnik by coach and to your cruise ship.

Spend a day off the ship at one of Dubrovnik's most popular beaches. Your excursion will begin with a sailing trip along the old town of Dubrovnik followed by a 45-minute walk alongside the city walls. You can admire the prettiest corners of this Croatian town before boarding the boat for St. Jacob beach with free time to relax in the sun or to swim. Sun umbrella, beach chairs, welcome drink and one additional beverage is included.

Rising up behind the beautiful walled city of Dubrovnik, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, is Sr?j Mountain, your first stop on this tour of extraordinary views and mediaeval fortifications. A cable car ride - an experience in itself - will take you to the top, where you can then look forward to a stunning panorama of Dubrovnik, the archipelago, the town of Cavtat and, on clear days, even Italy in the distance. To add to your enjoyment of these breathtaking vistas, a drink will be served in a mountainside bar. Leaving Sr?j behind and taking the cable car back down, you will move on to Dubrovniks world-famous city walls. Totalling nearly 2 km in length, an unbroken chain of fortresses, towers and bastions securely girdles the city, preventing the ingress of enemies in times gone by. Starting at the main street of the old town, you will first go on an orientation walk before some time will be yours to spend as you please in this special place. A shuttle bus ride back to your ship then ends your tour.

Undoubtedly one of the jewels in Croatia's crown, Dubrovnik's beautiful old town is so atmospheric that the makers of the hugely successful Game of Thrones TV franchise made it as the setting of the capital of the fictional continent of Westeros. A coach will first transfer you to Dubrovnik's old town - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - from where your expert guide will then take you to see various places where memorable scenes were shot, including Fort Lovrijenac - the site of the Battle of Blackwater. Do remember to take your camera along to direct your own "documentary" as you make your way around this "live set". Your guide provides you with information on the fictional Game of Thrones world and support the facts with A4-sized photos of the respective scenes. After that, you'll still have some time to explore on your own before you re-join your coach for the unguided return transfer to the ship.

Solin, formerly the ancient city of Salona, seems to stand still in time. Situated on a small island connected to the mainland by a bridge, Solin reached the pinnacle of prosperity in the 3rd- and 4th-centuries, and was the birthplace of the Roman Emperor Diocletian  who later built his imposing Palace in the neighbouring city of Split. The excursion includes a 30-minute visit to the city's archaeological excavations before driving along the Split Riviera to Trogir, also under UNESCO's protection, which was founded in the 3rd-century B.C. Take in the stunning monuments of Trogir, which include the Cathedral of St. Lawrence. This building dates back to the 8th-century and is probably the finest example of sacral architecture in Croatia. Enjoy an hour leisure time in Trogir before returning to the ship.

The small and formerly quiet town of Medjugorje, which is situated in the Herzegovina region near the Croatian border, suddenly acquired global popularity as a religious pilgrimage site in 1981 after news broke that the Virgin Mary had appeared to six local Catholics. A 2.5-hour drive along the lovely Adriatic coastline will take you to view Medjugorje's key attractions such as Apparition Hill, St. James' Church and the statue of St. Leopold. You will have a chance to stick with your guide, pray at this important religious site or explore the location at your leisure. The path up to Apparition Hill is adorned with a set of impressive bronze plaques that illustrate the various Mysteries of the Rosary as a recollection of the life of Christ. If you prefer, you can alternatively stay near the church and visit the outside altar, the statue of our Blessed Lady and the confessionals. The tour concludes with your return to port and your ship.

Croatia certainly has more than its fair share of natural beauty and one such example, the sizeable Krka National Park, forms your scenic destination on this enjoyable half-day tour. Stunning views of ibenik-Knin county will keep you entertained during the 1.5-hour coach transfer to the park. Once you have arrived, you'll first head for one of the park's most popular attractions, the beautiful natural pool and waterfall called Skradinski buk. The River Krka runs through the area and feeds the Skradinski waterfall, one of three cascades in the park. Do keep your camera at hand as you set off on a guided walk through the greenery, revealing not only views of the river and gushing cascades, but also including a visit to an old mill with an ethnographic exhibition. There will also be time for you to explore the natural setting at your leisure before the coach ride back to the port, with more lovely vistas to savour on the way, wraps up the tour.

A short drive will take you south-east of Split and along the scenic Adriatic coast to Omiš, a pretty little town situated at the point where the River Cetina flows into the Adriatic Sea. Continuing your journey down the lovely canyon of the River Cetina, you will soon arrive at the Radmanove Mlinice restaurant and picnic site. Idyllically located close to the river in verdant surroundings, this popular excursion destination is not just the perfect place to enjoy a local snack of smoked ham and cheese with a glass of local wine, but also to take some photos. Your tour then heads back to Split, where you can explore the town's attractions on foot during an hour guided tour. As you stroll through the open-air market or sit on sun-warmed stones, the relaxed atmosphere makes it easy to forget the bustling, modern port that exists only a stone's throw away. This juxtaposition of the old and the new is all part of Split's unmistakeable charm. After some free time in town, you will return to your ship.

No visit to the romantic city of Venice could ever be considered complete if it failed to include a trip on a typical Venetian gondola, rowed by a traditional gondolier. To acquire a licence to practise this old and venerable profession, a would-be gondolier must prove to have expert navigational skills, know the waterways inside out and be familiar with the city's history and landmarks. As you make your way from canal to canal, you can admire the beautiful bridges, the magnificent royal palaces, and the typical narrow Venetian streets, called calli, from a unique perspective. The excursion includes free time in St. Mark's Square, home also of St. Mark's Cathedral that you will admire from outside before a local guide takes you on an informative and comprehensive walk around the calli. The tour draws to a close with the return to the port by boat.

Your Venetian day begins with a 2-hour coach drive from Monfalcone through the regions of Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto during which you can enjoy the landscape. Next, a boat is waiting for you for a pleasant cruise in Venice lagoon to reach Murano. In 1291, when furnaces were banned from Venice as a fire precaution, the manufacture of exquisite glassware was transferred to this island. Witness the masters of this delicate craft at work during your visit to a leading factory followed by an opportunity to acquire some of this timeless art. Next, board the boat again and reach one of Venice's most famous site: St Mark's Square. Once there, start your guided walking around this world-famous square with the iconic Doge's Palace, the bridge of Sighs, San Marco Basilica. Your guide will provide you plenty of information outside these monuments before boarding the boat again to return to your awaiting coach for the drive back to Monfalcone.

Experience the best of Venice's outstanding cultural heritage on this memorable tour. A boat will take you to St. Mark's Square, and you will then have a few hours to visit the Doge's Palace on your own. This unique monument was built between 1309 and 1424 and then damaged during a fire in 1574. The sympathetic restoration work respects the original Gothic style. Since the 16th-century, the Palace has been linked to the city's prison by the famous Bridge of Sighs. Before returning to the port, you will also have a little free time to spend in St. Mark's Square.

If you disembark in Venice and want to taste a little of the city before taking your flight home, enjoy a gondola ride to explore this romantic city. As you travel from canal to canal, a breathtaking vista of bridges, palaces, and narrow streets, known as calli, unfolds before your eyes. The tour includes a little free time in St. Mark's Square, before which a local guide will take you on an informative walk around the calli. Thanks to a pre-reserved access time, you will have the opportunity to independently visit one of the symbols of Venice: the magnificent Doge's Palace. On returning to the port and collecting your luggage, your tour will be brought to a close with your transfer to Venice Marco Polo airport.
