Activities
Love Italian food? What could be better than a cooking lesson in Tuscany! While docked at La Spezia, learn the secrets of Italian cuisine from a master chef. For something a little more high-tech, take a tour of Rome—on an advanced Segway Personal Transporter. There is so much more to do in the Mediterranean than touring museums and historic landmarks!
