Naples

When most people think of Naples, pizza is usually the first thing that springs to mind. While it's true that you can indulge in some of the most delicious pizzas during your visit, Naples has so much more to offer beyond cheese and tomato sauce. You'll feel like you've stepped back in time as you explore the magnificent piazzas, cathedrals, and historic castles in the city's old town. 

One of the best ways to spend your time on land is by embarking on a Pompeii tour. Uncover the story of how this ancient city was remarkably preserved under volcanic ash after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. Another fantastic way to enjoy your time in port is with a day trip to the breathtaking Amalfi Coast. Dinogo provides a range of shore excursions to Sorrento, allowing you to soak in the stunning beauty of this incredible region.

Be sure to visit must-see locations in Florence such as San Lorenzo Market, the Oltrarno district, Piazza del Duomo, and the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. 

Messina (Sicily)

As one of Sicily's largest cities, Messina offers a unique perspective on your Italy cruise. This harbor city is the ideal spot to unwind and people-watch while enjoying traditional treats at a café. For a touch of adventure, consider a shore excursion to an active volcano. As you head towards Mount Etna, you'll pass charming towns and be treated to breathtaking views of the Gulf of Catania.

Rome is a destination everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime. From the soothing sounds of the Trevi Fountain to the exhilarating rush of walking where gladiators once fought in the Colosseum, Rome is brimming with unforgettable sights waiting for you to explore. 

For those who prefer to roam freely, a hop on hop off bus tour is the perfect choice. You can spend as much or as little time as you wish at locations like Circus Maximus, Piazza Venezia, Vatican City, Piazza di Spagna, St. Peter's Basilica, and more.
