What of the World Financial Turmoil?

The Cruise business will survive the current world financial turbulence because it will drop its prices to fill all the cabins and keep the cruise business alive. It will create many opportunities to travel in leisure and at similar prices for the transport aspect of the trip to that charged for air transport.

Italy is a great place to visit by cruise liner with eight cruise major ship ports - Rome [Civitavecchia] Bari, Florence/Pisa [Livorno], Genoa, Naples [Capri], Savona, Trieste and Venice. Hundreds of cruise ships visit Italy annually.

The three icon Italian cities of Rome, Florence and Venice are visited by cruise liners from all over the world and as part of Mediterranean, Italian and eastern European cruises. Many world cruising tours find Italy a must see location.
