Itinéraire
La visite commence à La Spezia, Molo Garibaldi.
Si vous choisissez l'excursion du lundi au samedi, le premier arrêt sera Porto Venere. En une vingtaine de minutes de navigation dans le golfe des Poètes, on atteint Porto Venere, le village balnéaire fortifié qui a fasciné des myriades de visiteurs. Vous pouvez flâner le long de la célèbre « palazzata » en bord de mer jusqu'à atteindre le complexe médiéval de l'église San Pietro, l'un des édifices religieux les plus romantiques de toute l'Italie. Nous retournons ensuite au point d'embarquement par la ruelle habituelle.
Si vous choisissez l'excursion du mardi au dimanche, le premier arrêt sera Riomaggiore. Navigation de Riomaggiore à Monterosso : durant la traversée, vous aurez l'occasion d'admirer depuis la mer les autres villages spectaculaires de Manarola, Corniglia et Vernazza. Monterosso est le plus grand village des Cinque Terre et le seul à posséder des plages aménagées. Depuis le quai, une courte marche mène au centre historique médiéval, où vous pourrez admirer l'église paroissiale dédiée à San Giovanni Battista. Datant de 1308, c'est le plus ancien bâtiment des Cinque Terre et il présente une belle façade à bandes alternées, sur laquelle se distingue une précieuse rosace en marbre blanc de Carrare. Nous longerons ensuite le front de mer pour rejoindre la Torre Aurora qui offre une vue magnifique sur la plage de Fegina. Temps libre avant l'embarquement pour le dernier arrêt : Vernazza.
Continuez à naviguer à travers les côtes des Cinque Terre en admirant les villages de Riomaggiore, Manarola et Corniglia par la mer (environ 50 min). On arrive alors à la dernière étape : Vernazza, le village qui se présente aux visiteurs arrivant de la mer comme la proue d'un navire : la majeure partie de la ville est en effet bâtie sur un petit promontoire qui se termine à la mer avec un imposant système de fortification .construit par les Génois. À terre, nous visiterons la baie encadrée de hautes maisons colorées dominées par Santa Margherita d'Antiochia, l'un des monuments les plus célèbres des Cinque Terre. Continuez le long de la rue principale étroite et animée qui traverse des maisons colorées reliées par des ponts et des passages. Le reste du pays est perché dans la partie orientale de l'éperon. Surtout, les ruines de la forteresse connue sous le nom de Castello Doria qui font de Vernazza l'un des villages les plus photographiés d'Italie.
Départ de La Spezia et navigation à l'intérieur du Golfe des Poètes en vue des beaux villages balnéaires de Cadimare, Fezzano et Le Grazie. Une fois sorti du golfe, traversez les embouchures qui séparent Porto Venere de l'île de Palmaria et naviguez le long de la magnifique côte des Cinque Terre en direction de Riomaggiore. Une fois dans ce village enchanteur, en remontant du débarcadère, vous atteignez la place San Giacomo où vous pourrez profiter d'une vue à couper le souffle. De ce point commence la visite du village avec sa belle Marina, immortalisée dans les œuvres de nombreux peintres. On continue ensuite dans le dédale de ruelles et d'escaliers assez raides pour poursuivre la balade jusqu'à l'imposante église de San Giovanni Battista en la visitant. En descendant vers la Marina vous aurez du temps libre, pour ensuite embarquer pour Monterosso.

Great experience departing at 9:00 a.m. from Levanto. Stop at every village until Portovenere. 1h50 duration, very pleasant to discover all the villages from the sea. A must-do, it is very beautiful
Visiting the Cinque Terre in summer is now a challenge, even by train. We therefore chose the boat to combine a change of scenery and comfortable transport for a reasonable price of 69 euros per person. For the first time on this type of excursion, I felt like I was being taken care of by a crew of professional sailors, attentive to safety, kind to the passengers, and concerned about their comfort. Each of us had a comfortable seat (especially inside) with a life jacket underneath, without the usual overcrowding massed on the railings. All sitting calmly, we were more attentive to the commentary in 3 languages, Italian then English, by a first speaker who mastered her subject, supported her anecdotes, and described with precision. A second speaker took over in French, sometimes with a more abbreviated or less precise speech. A drink service is offered at the bar. We chose the route passing through Portovenere which really charmed us (1h10 stopover) then Monterosso, less attractive unless you wander off the beaten path (from 12:00 PM to about 3:00 PM) then Vernazza (1h until 4:50 PM) which we ultimately did not visit: the call of the sea became too pressing due to the heatwave. We enjoyed this impromptu swim more. In retrospect, I regret not having been able to stroll through this last village, especially since the setting sun cast very beautiful light on the facades. Ultimately, the 2 villages of Portovenere and Vernazza would have been enough to enjoy it better. The ideal would have even been a stop at sea dedicated to swimming from the boat, as is sometimes done. We could have stayed an hour longer in Portovenere in the morning, which was not very crowded this Tuesday, July 29, and lingered to have lunch and swim in Vernazza. The stop in Monterosso is less pleasant: the village is quite far away, the beach is very crowded, and the reception corresponds primarily to mass tourism. With two stops from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., we could sail quietly close to the coast to see the other villages, including Riomaggiore, in more detail. That would be an idea to explore, even if we enjoyed the cruise itself. It could be improved.
This reservation was a disappointment. We scheduled it on a Friday because it was the day the tour stopped in Portovenere and they changed the route at the last minute without any warning, leaving to pass through that place. I don't recommend it. The boarding site is the one that is farthest away from everyone, being the other companies all together with the Marina.
Good morning. No one changed the tour itinerary. The route for your departure date had been published well in advance, which is why no other guest raised this issue. It is possible that you simply did not notice the itinerary that was scheduled for your specific travel date. In any case, we do not believe your review is particularly helpful to future guests, as it is based on not having checked the itinerary for the day you booked rather than on the quality of the service we actually provided. As for the boarding point, you are comparing our departure location with that of a different public ferry company whose service you did not even use. Our departure point is clearly indicated before booking, and every guest is free to choose the operator that best suits their preferences. We always operate the tour exactly as advertised, nothing less.
Wonderful ferry service that went to three places in Cinque Terre with about 2 hours per location. They were on time and communicated in 3 languages on our tour (Italian, English, French).
Great tour with extra frendly staff.
It was an incredible experience; we visited Riomaggiore, Monterosso, and Vernazza. The crew is the best, especially thanks to Rosa.
We traveled from La Spezia with the Cinque Terre Maritime Consortium. A Hop on Hop off system in which we were able to visit the 5 villages of Cinque Terre. The walk was beautiful and it was very practical to be able to get off and then take the next ferry.
I enjoyed the tour very much but the narration was completely lost because of the engine noise and the girls’ high voice. I would have liked to know about the places we were seeing on the way and some history of the villages we stopped at. The staff was very helpful when I got on and off the boat. It was a relaxing day in spite of the terrific heat and many people swam in the ocean to cool off.
A well-organized trip that allowed us to discover these beautiful places.
At the start of the day, I mistakenly got the appointment day wrong, so it started off very poorly lol 😂 but the organization said no worries, you can come, and the surprise in France is that we would have been turned away, so a big thank you 🙏 very helpful staff and we had time to swim and stroll through the streets, I recommend it one hundred percent
