Cagliari

Port Cagliari stands apart as a gateway to Sardinia's soul, where a single call lets you step from the ship into a city that marries medieval silhouettes with a modern marina. The advantage isn't just setting; it's the signature experiences and proximity: waking to the aroma of the Mercato di San Benedetto's fish stalls, strolling the Bastione di Saint Remy for sweeping views over red-tiled roofs and the glittering gulf, and tracing the hillside lanes of Casteddu to the Museo Archeologico. Shore days unfold with ease—from half-day explorations of Nora's archaeological ruins to coastal swims along the Poetto Beach, with optional boat trips along the southern coast to secluded coves. The port rhythm also suits families and curious travelers: the fleet offers a broad range of itineraries—short Mediterranean cruises or longer voyages—bridging culture, nature, and gourmet Sardinia. Ships calling at Cagliari bring contemporary fleet features: efficient on-board spaces, multiple dining venues ranging from casual trattoria to refined dining, and wellness centers that invite relaxation after a day ashore. Onboard services are abundant: expansive spa and pool decks, enrichment programs, kids' clubs, and dedicated shore-excursion desks that help tailor excursions to discovery, cuisine, and local lifeways, ensuring guests depart with a sense of Sardinia's warmth alongside the ship's comfort.
