From dramatic coastal villages to elegant seaside towns and cultural cities, each itinerary is carefully timed to ensure a relaxed exploration and a punctual return to your cruise.
Genoa, Portofino & Santa Margherita: How Far Apart?
Genoa is approximately 35 km (about 45–60 minutes by car) from Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure.
This proximity allows many of the same excursions to operate smoothly from each port, with adjustments based on docking time and traffic conditions.
Genoa offers direct highway access and is ideal for longer routes such as Milan or extended coastal drives.
Portofino and Santa Margherita are perfect starting points for Riviera villages and private boat experiences.
All itineraries are calibrated according to your cruise arrival and departure window.
