From Portovenere to Vernazza by Ferry
After visiting Portovenere, board a public ferry for a scenic cruise along the coastline toward Vernazza.
Sailing along the Cinque Terre coast offers one of the most spectacular perspectives of the region. From the sea, admire dramatic cliffs rising straight from the water, colorful villages clinging to the rock, hidden coves, sea caves, and the iconic terraced vineyards shaped by centuries of human effort. This ferry ride is often one of the highlights of the day.
Free Time for Lunch in Vernazza
Upon arrival in Vernazza, enjoy free time for lunch and independent exploration.
Wander through the small harbor area, explore the village streets, or relax at a local restaurant overlooking the sea before continuing the excursion.
Afternoon: Corniglia & Panoramic Drive
In the afternoon, meet your private driver and continue toward Corniglia, the smallest and most secluded of the Cinque Terre villages.
Perched on a rocky promontory high above the sea, Corniglia offers a quieter atmosphere and beautiful views over the coastline. Take time to explore the village, stroll through its narrow lanes, and perhaps enjoy a homemade gelato.
Scenic Return to La Spezia
The return journey follows the panoramic Cinque Terre road, offering sweeping views over the coastline, vineyards, and the Ligurian Sea—a perfect way to conclude your shore excursion.
Your driver will then take you back to the cruise terminal in La Spezia, carefully timed to your ship’s schedule.
