Cagliari

There are many cruises embarking from the port of Cagliari in the West Mediterranean. From this city you can easily reach the Balearic Islands and the southern coasts of France and Spain. Cruises from Cagliari offer favourable prices and the city is an ideal starting point for visiting Sardinia. Straddling a long bay between enchanting blue waters and sun-drenched fields, Cagliari is a true emerald green waiting to be discovered. The city rises on and around the hill of the historic district of Castello, and spreads over the surrounding 9 limestone hills.

Cagliari is the regional capital of Sardinia and is called Casteddu in the local dialect. Its territory is one of the most interesting places to visit on the island, full of pure Mediterranean essence expressed in every corner, in every bite of its delicious cuisine and in its history of colonisation. The international port of Cagliari is very busy due to both the traffic and the passengers, especially in the summer months when the crowd of tourists remarkably increases. The best time to visit this city is spring, when the weather is not yet too hot and the average temperatures is 20°C. Discover cruises that depart from Cagliari on Taoticket and let our travel agents recommend you to find the best departure for you.

If your ship calls at Cagliari do not miss the Poetto beach, the most famous city beach where you can enjoy fresh drinks accompanied by traditional fish dishes. Local cuisine is very varied thanks to various influences received from other places like those from Liguria and even from distant Catalonia.

Civitavecchia

Civitavecchia is a town in the heart of Lazio. It is a small, sleepy town that overlooks the sea from behind the busy and chaotic commercial port.
