History
Livorno is the gateway to Tuscany, making it a highly attractive port for major cruise lines. It offers excursions to art cities like Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Siena, and charming medieval villages along the Tuscan coast, such as Bolgheri in the Tuscan wine road. Situated in central Italy, with proximity to Pisa International Airport, Livorno serves as a successful home port for partial passenger turn-around. The port welcomes smaller luxury ships and sees an increase in overnight calls. The “Medici Port” is located near the impressive 16th-century Fortezza Vecchia, hosting cultural and artistic activities. Cruise calls occur year-round, with the high season spanning from May to October, accommodating both transit and partial turn-around passengers.
