Region

Western Mediterranean

Spain, France, and Italy's western coast — Barcelona and Rome (Civitavecchia) are the most common embarkation/turnaround ports.

Best season
May-Oct peak; Apr/Oct shoulder season
Typical length
7 nights typical

Civitavecchia is the port for Rome — about 1.5 hrs from the city center, not walkable/close.

Livorno is the port for Florence and Pisa — again about 1.5 hrs away, and easily confused with Livorno being a destination itself (it isn't, for most guests).

The Amalfi Coast (Positano, Amalfi, Capri) is not a cruise port — ships dock at Naples, Salerno, or Sorrento (tender) and guests transfer in by car/boat.
