Genoa is the capital of Liguria and the sixth largest city in Italy. Genoa is one of Europe's largest cities on the Mediterranean Sea and the largest seaport in Italy. Nicknamed the Superb One due to its glorious past and impressive landmarks. Part of the old town of Genoa was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The city's rich art, music, gastronomy, architecture, and history allowed it to become the 2004 European Capital of Culture.

La Spezia (Florence)

La Spezia sits at the head of the Gulf of La Spezia, in the Liguria region of northern Italy. It is the capital city of the province of La Spezia. For shopping, there are craft and antique shops in the lanes of the Cinque Terre villages, but the best thing to buy here is wine or local produce (such as the salted anchovies of Monterosso). The main attractions of La Spezia are: Public Gardens, Churches, Museums, Castle of San Giorgio, and Art Nouveau style villas. It’s a picturesque place to enjoy as part of your cruise holiday and we’re sure you won’t be disappointed. Heading out of La Spezia will take you to other parts of Italy for the day, including Pisa and Cinque Terre - the iconic coast of five colourful villages that tops most “must see'' travel lists.

Lisbon

The city of Lisbon is rich in architecture; Romanesque, Gothic, Manueline, Baroque, Modern and Postmodern constructions can be found all over Lisbon. The city is also crossed by historical boulevards and monuments along the main thoroughfares, particularly in the upper districts. There are several substantial museums one can visit in the city. In addition, the mosaic Portuguese Pavement was born in Lisbon, in the mid-1800s. The art has since spread to the rest of the Portuguese Speaking world. The city remains one of the most expansive examples of the technique, nearly all walkways and even many streets being created and maintained in this style.

Mandatory Insurance

Having suitable insurance cover is a mandatory requirement for your cruise.Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is also pleased to work in association with specialist cruise insurance provider Holiday Extras.They can provide full Coronavirus cover. This can include cover for guests who contract Covid-19 prior to their cruise and therefore have to cancel their holiday, as well as cover for up to £15m if a guest contracts Covid-19 while travelling. This covers medical assistance, repatriation and accommodation costs for a guest and their travelling companion.

*Top Tip: Be properly insured for you and your Fred. Olsen cruise holiday. If you haven’t declared all your pre-existing medical conditions to your insurer or have not taken out an insurance policy that covers a holiday at sea, the financial consequences could be significant to you. Don’t risk a large financial bill. Tip Two: Avoid potential loopholes. It is tempting to save money and opt for the cheapest holiday insurance. However, many of these policies have loopholes that will not provide cover for the exact circumstance in the claim. Be sure to thoroughly investigate what’s covered in the policy. Tip Three: Consider annual cover. For travellers lucky enough to be embarking on several trips a year, annual policies may work out to be the best value. For multiple holidays, an annual insurance policy provides cover for the year ahead. What is the difference between cruise insurance and general travel insurance? General travel insurance is mostly designed for those planning to relax on a land-based holiday, by the pool, on the beach, or with a little sightseeing, for example. A cruise holiday has very different elements, requiring a more specialist cover. It’s unlikely that a standard holiday insurance policy would provide cover in the unfortunate event of having to be medically evacuated by helicopter or launch whilst at sea. This, for instance, is the type of scenario that specialist cruise insurance would take into account, giving you reassurance that you’re suitably covered throughout your trip should the unexpected occur.
