amurray88 Posted June 19, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 19, 2022 We arrive into Genoa at 7am and I was hoping to do a day trip to Milan. 4pm is the all aboard time before ship departs at 5pm. Is it doable? We've done Florence from Livorno which was a fair distance too but not sure if this is worth it. Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted June 19, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) You should have no problem making the 7:50 regionale veloce train from Piazza Principe station (550 meters/one third of a mile on foot from the cruise port). This train arrives to Milano Centrale at 9:35. If you want slightly more comfort and an assigned seat there is an IC train at 8:19 that arrives at 10:00. For the return you'd want to be on the 14:05 (2:04 PM) IC departing Milano Centrale, arriving to Piazza Principe at 15:44. An hour prior to departure sounds a tad excessive, it's usually 30 minutes, but this would get you there by 4 PM. So after almost three and a half hours on trains you'll have had about four and a half hours in Milan. It's up to you if it's worth it. With a car service you'd get there in about the same amount of time, or more if traffic is heavy. This is an unfortunately short port stop so it does complicate your decision.

framboesa Posted June 20, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) It take us 1:20h by private shuttle from Genoa to Milan on a Sunday. It was not one excursion, it was the end of our cruise and we wanted to spend 3 days i Milan before returning home and we booked one shuttle for it. We could also go by train, but sometimes there are strikes in italy and we chose the shuttle instead because we were 9 adults This was last November and our ship was far from Genoa port, we had to go by shuttle from the ship to the cruise port; we were there again (in Genoa)one week ago and our ship was near the port this time.

wcook Posted June 22, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I’m curious what interests you in Milan? This is just me, but I find Genoa at least as interesting, if not more so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
