Rome
Avgår 5:00 PM
With 28 centuries of celebrated history, Rome holds the edge when it comes to unrivaled adventures. The city that sparked the world’s largest empire is very much alive today with a jumble of ancient ruins, world-renowned art and vivacious street culture. Here you can live la dolce vita, recalling the glory days of Ancient Rome and twirling forks full of pasta in a trattoria. Ride past centuries-old basilicas in a three-wheeled Ape Calessino, or stand in awe of paintings by Italian masters at Villa Borghese. Whether it’s Vatican City’s spiritual allure, Trastevere’s backstreet charms, or the Colosseum’s embattled legacy— The Eternal City endures with endless adventures.

Then meander around the Roman Forum’s timeworn ruins, past crumbling temples and basilicas.

Cruises to Santa Margherita, Italy, take you to a world of laid-back perfection. The former fishing village is now a coastal resort and a celebrated symbol of the famous Liguria region. While nearby Portofino brings the glamour, "Santa," as locals call it, brings an authentic charm that is uniquely local. Italians and resourceful travelers have been visiting this sun-splashed town for years, enjoying first-class eateries such as Trattoria de Pezzi, manicured Italian gardens at Villa Durazzo, and Instagrammable beaches such as Gio e Rino with its crystalline waters. You get all the perks of being on the Italian Riviera — the romantic piazzas, the lively seaside promenade and the elegant Liberty facades — without the crowds. Visit Santa Margherita, Italy, and immerse yourself in true Italian beauty and culture.

Legends of Italian Tradition

The Church of San Giacomo di Corte, with impressive central naves, is rooted in legend. One of its most cherished symbols, a Marian statue of the Virgin Mary, is believed to have been found by fishermen in 1783 after it fell into the ocean during an earthquake. Locals now hold patronal celebrations every year and carry the statue in procession around town.
