Coda Cavallo Beach – Just south of Olbia, soak up the Mediterranean sun on your visit to the charming village of Coda Cavallo, where breathtaking blue waters, white-sand beaches and rocky shorelines meet. At this seaside paradise, you’ll enjoy a reserved area to spend the day, complete with a beach umbrella, lounge chairs and nearby refreshments.

Costa Smeralda – Follow the Emerald Coast to the famous seaside vacation destinations of Baia Sardinia and Porto Cervo. Spend your free time in these popular, upscale beach towns exploring, shopping and enjoying the spectacular views of the crystal-clear Mediterranean and harbors brimming with yachts. In Porto Cervo, you’ll also have the chance to take a relaxing tour of the village by “wheeled” train. For those of you traveling without children, an adult-only departure is also offered for this tour.

Up next, I’ll give you suggestions for what to do in Naples and Salerno, Italy. Remember, when the ship’s in port, venture ashore!
