Recipes & Railways: Southern Italian Cruise Extension
Experience southern Italy on board the Frecciarossa high-speed train, where sun-soaked coastlines give way to ancient hilltop towns, and the glittering arc of the Gulf of Naples appears and vanishes at the window.
Our Rail & Sail extensions are designed for those who believe that how you get there is just as important as the destination itself. We pair the intimacy and elegance of ultra-luxury cruising with carefully crafted rail journeys through the most iconic destinations.

Southern Italy's climate makes the area a year round destination. It is important to remember that the main tourism season stretches from mid-April to the end of September with July and August being peak months. The best time to visit is in the quieter part of the season, from April to June and from September to October when weather is usually good, prices lower and there are "fewer" tourists. Many have also discovered the advantages of visiting during the "low season" (winter and early spring) as rates are lower and the reduced number of tourists is visible.
We design each itinerary around you, so this suggested itineraryis a starting point that we can tweak or transform into something completely bespoke to you. Call us on 020 8682 5020 to start planning your holiday.
