Italian Classics By Rail: Cruise Extension
Experience Italy on board the Frecciarossa high-speed trains, where vineyards blur into hilltop villages, Renaissance skylines rise and fall, and the world slips past your window like a painting slowly coming to life.
Our Rail & Sail extensions are designed for those who believe that how you get there is just as important as the destination itself. We pair the intimacy and elegance of ultra-luxury cruising with carefully crafted rail journeys through the most iconic destinations.

The Mediterranean climate makes Italy a year round destination. It is important to remember that the main tourism season stretches from mid-April to the end of September with July and August being peak months. The best time to visit Italy is in the quieter part of the season, from April to June and from September to October when weather is usually good, prices lower and there are "fewer" tourists. Many have also discovered the advantages of visiting during the "low season" (winter and early spring) as rates are lower and the reduced number of tourists is visible.
