Moxiefurball Posted July 17, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) We have been to Florence, so when our Princess ship stops at Livorno, I’m thinking of a tour to Cinque Terre. has anyone taken a ships excursion ( Princess does have one to Cinque Terre) or was there a private tour company you’d recommend .

Rare steamboats Posted July 18, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 18, 2022 You can either take the train or the boat to Cinque Terre without any kind of tour (ship or private). steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleTraveller Posted July 18, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) I took a Princess shore excursion from Livorno to Cinque Terre in 2014. It was a long but wonderful day. We drove from the ship to Manarola where we walked through the town and had some free time before getting a ferry to Vernazza. There we had free time to have lunch. We then got a ferry to Monterosso where we had more free time. From there we got a train to Levanto where we were picked up by the bus and returned to the ship. The towns are beautiful but it was very crowded with hoards of tourists. The ferry was great with wonderful views of the coast.

euro cruiser Posted July 18, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Unless you have an unusually long port day, it's difficult to DIY from Livorno to Cinque Terre unless you rent a car and drive, or use a car service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare carlmm Posted July 18, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Normally I recommend public transportation for Europe but Livorno is not that close and involes a couple of steps already from ship to train station. Thus a ship's excursion might be better. Yet, make sure it really visits the real five villages and not eg Portovenere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted July 19, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Ups, sorry, I didn´t realize you´re in Livorno. I was automatically thinking of La Spezia. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare trinitygirl Posted July 19, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I am planning a small group ship tour from Livorno for next year. It’s ten hours and goes to three of the five villages in a mini bus. There is another tour that includes a 30 minute boat trip. It all looks wonderful. After the cruise I have a week based in Genoa and it seems like I can go back for a day trip by train if I wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a Princess Tour, so I don’t know which operator it is. If you go to the Princess website, the excursion is LI1160A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
