YOUR CRUISE STOP · CATANIA

Mount Etna shore excursions from Catania

Make your Catania cruise stop a day on the volcano. Our team builds an Etna programme around your time ashore, walking preferences and the journey from the port.

Mount Etna and the landscapes of eastern Sicily
From your ship. Into Etna.

OUR REGULAR EXCURSIONS

Find your tour. Picture your day.

These are the experiences we organise regularly. Open a tour for its full programme, inclusions and prices. They are a starting point: we can also create many other experiences across Sicily around your interests.

For a cruise stop, we check the route, port transfers and ship times with you before confirming the programme and price.

A different idea for Sicily?

Tell us what you love and how long you have ashore. We can design a personalised Sicily experience for your group.

YOUR TIME ASHORE, WELL PLANNED

Start with your ship.
Build around you.

Catania port is not the starting point of our regular Etna departures. Tell us your ship’s arrival and all-aboard times so we can assess a separate port transfer and an achievable itinerary.

01

Ship & time ashore

Send the ship name, date, arrival time and all-aboard deadline. Mention whether the call uses a berth or tender, if known.

02

A route that fits your group

Tell us the number of adults and children, ages, walking ability, preferred language and the places you most want to see.

03

Your proposal, clearly defined

We confirm what is feasible and provide the programme, meeting arrangements, inclusions and price before you decide.

LET’S GET YOUR DAY STARTED

Which ship are you arriving on?

Send your cruise details and preferences. We will check the programme and availability, then send a proposal for you to review.

Request only. The experience is confirmed after the route, services, price and booking conditions have been agreed.

BEFORE YOU PLAN

Your shore excursion questions.

Can I book a regular excursion for a cruise stop?

Check with us first. Regular excursions have their own departure times and meeting points; a cruise arrival does not automatically fit them. Port transfers and any adjusted programme need to be agreed separately.

Is pickup at the cruise terminal included?

Only when stated in your confirmed proposal. Share your port and ship details so we can establish the meeting place, access arrangements and any transfer cost.

Can we visit Etna’s high-altitude areas?

Ask us to assess it against your port schedule and the group’s ability. High-altitude access depends on conditions, restrictions and guide decisions; it is not a standard inclusion in a shore programme.

How is the return to the ship planned?

We plan the programme using your all-aboard deadline and allow time for the return journey. Exact timings, the return meeting point and the conditions for any ship schedule changes are agreed before confirmation.

That trip was amazing! Our guide Massimo made this tour unforgettable, we learned from him a lot about mount Etna and its eruptions. The views were amazing, we ate good pasta and saw a lot of beautiful places. Massimo really knows a lot of things about everything we asked not only about mount Etna but also a lot of different things like living in Sicilia, the cities, the history. We were really excited about the trip and we are not disappointed at all so I highly recommend booking the tour with Max. We will definitely come back soon here, so we can reach the top of mount Etna. This trip was the best foretaste for that so it's really worth it. Thank you Max!

Organizacja i przewodnik rewelacyjny! Polecam Maxa i Jaquiline. Mimo, ze Jaquiline nie mówia po angielsku, a bya naszym kierowc, rozumiaymy sie swietnie. Max to bardzo uzdolniony przewodnik, mowi w kilku jzykach, bardzo ciekawie opowiada. Organizacja wycieczki też super, nie zabrako atrakcji, mnóstwo czasu na robienie zdj, zwiedzanie. Przewodnik czeka na każdego ze swojej grupy cierpliwie. Od razu zaznacza, że jesli ktos nie czuje sie na siach isc, aby powiedziec, bo to bardzo wazne. Czuymy si zaopiekowane. Ale powiedzmy sobie szczerze, trasa nie bya zbyt trudna ;) Za to widoki przepikne.
