Meet Tamar ↗GOOD TO KNOW
A few questions
before you go.
Not cruising? Your dream Italian holiday still starts here.
Explore all our travel services ↗Can you help if my cruise is already booked?
Yes. Share your sailing details and we can discuss the land stay around it. You do not need to have booked your cruise through us.
Are these fixed packages?
No. These are sample stays to spark ideas. Your itinerary will depend on your dates, interests, budget, exact port, and availability. Hotels, experiences, and transfers are confirmed during planning.
Can I add a stay both before and after my cruise?
Absolutely. Choose “Before & after” in the inquiry form and tell us how many extra nights you have at each end. The two stays can have completely different personalities.
How do transfers and luggage fit in?
We consider your airport, hotel, cruise terminal, luggage, and preferred pace when planning connections. Tell us about any access needs. Booking assistance depends on the service you select; specific arrangements and costs are agreed before booking.
What does planning cost?
Cruise extensions use our existing planning services: travel coaching, custom planning, or White Glove support. We’ll discuss which fits your trip and confirm the fee before work begins. Planning fees are separate from hotels, transport, experiences, and other travel costs.
Is this a shore excursion or a cruise booking service?
This collection focuses on stays on land before or after your cruise. It is not a same-day port excursion or an offer to book your sailing. We plan the extra days around your confirmed cruise itinerary.
