Make the most of your time in Sicily with a full-day shore excursion created especially for cruise passengers. Discover three of the island’s most fascinating destinations while enjoying an easy, well-organized experience and a guaranteed on-time return to the ship.
Your experience begins at the Palermo Cruise Terminal, where your English- or Spanish-speaking Tour Leader will meet you and accompany you throughout the day. Settle into a comfortable, air-conditioned coach and leave the port behind as you travel towards the beautiful hilltop town of Monreale, overlooking the Conca d’Oro valley.
Once in Monreale, you will have free time to explore at your own pace. Take the opportunity to visit the magnificent Monreale Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its spectacular golden Byzantine mosaics and impressive Norman architecture. You can also enjoy the town’s charming streets and panoramic views before continuing your journey.
The excursion then takes you along the scenic Tyrrhenian coast to Cefalù, one of Sicily’s most enchanting seaside towns. Set between a dramatic limestone cliff and the Mediterranean Sea, Cefalù combines picturesque landscapes with a fascinating medieval atmosphere. During your free time, explore the historic streets, browse local artisan stores, admire the imposing Cathedral with its distinctive towers, or stop at a seafront café to sample traditional Sicilian specialities.
After visiting Cefalù, return directly to the Palermo Cruise Terminal, conveniently located close to your ship.
With comfortable transport, free time to explore and an experienced Tour Leader accompanying you, this shore excursion offers a convenient way to discover Monreale and Cefalù in one day, without the stress of organising transport or worrying about getting back to your cruise ship on time.
