Small ship cruising holidays in Italy

Discover the ports along the peninsula on a small ship cruising holiday in Italy. The country alternates between showy glamour and simple beauty. Glitzy towns abound on the Amalfi coast, but venture from Venice and you can cruise in the pure blue waters of the Adriatic. Over to the islands: Sicily and Sardinia have their fair share of glamour, too, plus volcanic islands and astonishing local produce.
