Indulge in the stunning natural beauty and spectacular cultural offerings teeming from Italy’s Ligurian coast, as you enjoy a guided tour, scenic cruise and try local delicacies among two charming seaside villages. Begin the day in Portovenere, a UNESCO-listed town boasting colorful facades and the 12th-century church of St. Peter, which dangles over the jagged oceanfront of the Ligurian coast. Set sail via motorboat along Cinque Terre’s dramatic coastline and relish a spectacular view of this picturesque region’s multicolored terratetto houses, rugged seascapes and dinghy-spangled harbors. In Monterosso al Mare, the area’s oldest and most famous village, you’ll sample a selection of local pesto bruschetta and wine, the crown gastronomic jewel of this region. You’ll also enjoy plenty of time to shop and explore independently throughout the day before being whisked back to port via motor coach. LVJ9
