Glide between chic Panarea — the Aeolian Islands' most glamorous isle — and volcanic Stromboli on a full-day cruise that combines celebrity-haunt beaches, ancient ruins, and a ringside view of the volcano. The ultimate Aeolian double bill.
What to expect
The day opens with a sail to Panarea, where the boat anchors off Cala Junco — a turquoise lagoon backed by Bronze Age ruins. Snorkel the crystalline shallows before the cruise continues to Stromboli, circling the Sciara del Fuoco as the volcano performs its hourly eruptions. Fresh Sicilian lunch is served on deck between the two islands. The return leg at dusk offers silhouette views of both islands against a Mediterranean sunset.
Good to know
This full-day excursion typically runs 8–10 hours; verify it aligns with your ship's all-aboard time. Advance booking is essential in July and August. A EUR 5 per person disembarkation fee is payable at the port before boarding — have cash ready.
