Day Cruise

Florence & Pisa on Mediterranean Cruise is more than a guide.

This guide gives the best possible route to visit Florence and Pisa from Livorno or La Spezia. Guide is loaded with tips on how to reach these two cities, where to walk, and what to see.

Using all possible resources with our logo “We Were There for You” this book is full of information that no other guides will give and no other buys are needed.

To take Mediterranean cruise is very popular. Most of the cruise companies will promote such cruise as the best possible way to see and explore gems of Europe for the best possible price.

I have to admit one thing. There is no way that for the price of the cruise you can actually visit so many cities and tourist attractions in such short time as 7 to 12 days, use trains or flights, car-rentals or public transport and stay in hotels. Consider a cruise as a great thing to choose your favorite destinations, and a great decision maker for your future travel.

One thing cruise companies forget to tell. Neither Pisa, Florence, Athens or Rome are actually at sea. In all of these ports you have to take organized shore excursion with the company, or you have to organize trip on your own to visit, for example Pisa or Florence.

Your ship will stop most probably from 7,00am to 7,00pm in Livorno or in adverse weather, La Spezia. From both ports of call Pisa and Florence are easy to reach, but in both ports of call you have to reach train station - first.
In general there are 2 options, either to take a train or to rent-a-car. To take a train is cheaper, and to rent-a-car in Livorno is much easier. If you would like to visit Florence and Pisa in the same day, it is better to rent-a-car, however my recommendation is to choose one city and explore that city depending on your interests. If you would like to see both of them then to rent-a-car is faster and easier option.
