The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Skip the Portofino crowds and reach the 10th-century abbey of San Fruttuoso by private boat, mooring in a cove reachable no other way.
Ride the funicular up to the hilltop sanctuary for sweeping Ligurian coastline views most passengers never see, paired with a quiet visit to the church.
A local guide walks you through Portofino's harbor, Castello Brown, and the hillside church before the day-trippers arrive, revealing why it became a legend.
Wander the harbor town's morning market and backstreets with someone who actually lives there, tasting focaccia and local wine along the way.
A private skippered sail past Rapallo's castle, Zoagli's silk-weaving cliffs, and the Portofino promontory as the light turns gold.
A short but rich walk through Rapallo itself: the 16th-century castle in the sea, the Basilica, and the lace-making history still alive in a few workshops.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
