This exclusive Pontine and Phlegraean Islands cruise gives you the chance to discover the diverse cultures and enchanting beauty of two archipelagoes off Italy’s mainland, with visits to the Pontine and Phlegraean Islands.

The Pontine Islands are an exclusive archipelago nestled in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the west coast of Italy that are known for their rugged coastline vistas, cultural sites and sparkling sea waters, which are perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Ponza and Ventotene are the main islands, where you can find superb seafood restaurants and boutique stores as a part of this Italy island hopping cruise. There are also several smaller islands to enjoy, which boast tranquil beaches and sea caves, including Palmarola, Zannone, Gavi and Santo Stefano. As a part of this Italy cruise there will be plenty of time to discover the rich beauty of this unique part of the Mediterranean, including the idyllic Punta Fieno on Palmarola and breath-takingly beautiful sights, such as Piscine Naturali, Cala Gaetano, Cala Inferno and Cala del Cuore.

After discovering the tranquility of the Pontine Islands, this Italy sea cruise continues to the glorious Phlegraean Islands, which is an archipelago in the Gulf of Naples in Campania. The most famous of the Phlegraean Islands is Ischia, which is one of Campania’s most beautiful and treasured islands, where you can sunbathe on sun-soaked beaches, such as Sant’Angelo, or learn more about the island’s past with visits to one or two of the many cultural sites, such as Aragonese Castle, which dates back to 474 BC. There are also several vibrant Mediterreanean gardens to explore on Ischia, which feature manicured flower beds, glistening fountains and wonderful tropical and Mediterranean plants that fill the air with their fresh scent. As well as Ischia, this cruise also allows you to discover the more secluded islands of Procida, Vivara and Nisida, where you can immerse yourself in the untamed beauty of their coast for a completely relaxing cruise experience.

With glorious island scenes to enjoy and warm sea waters to swim in, this is the perfect Pontine and Phlegraean Islands cruise on which you can completely relax and rejuvenate. We love it as a romantic couples’ holiday or honeymoon, but with several cultural and archaeological sites to visit it is also an excellent choice for a unique family holiday to Italy.
