Highlights
- Monterosso al Mare - The following itinerary starts from Monterosso, but it’s also possible to begin the tour from La Spezia, with the same attractions included.
- Parco Nazionale Cinque Terre - The cruise will take you through the “Gulf of Poets” and all along the Cinque Terre National Park. During the tour, enjoy an aperitivo with typical local products, fresh fruit, and alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
- Monterosso al Mare - Going out of the port, you will admire from the sea Monterosso al Mare: the largest and most visited of the villages; admire its large beach, lined with colourful umbrellas and spiral up through the village.
- Corniglia - Further along, you will see Corniglia: the smallest village of the Cinque Terre, built far above the ocean on the cliffs.
- Vernazza - From Corniglia, you will depart for Vernazza, the beauty queen of the Cinque Terre: the most popular and the most photogenic one. Vernazza’s shoreline stands out because of the iconic colourful buildings along the cliffs and the beautiful church tower that looks out onto the bay.
- Manarola - The tour continues to Manarola: the village is perched atop jagged ocean cliffs and surrounded by lush-green vineyards. It has an incredible spit of land where the most famous Cinque Terre Instagram photos are taken.
- Riomaggiore - The last village of Cinque Terre is Riomaggiore, a picturesque coast-side village with post-card perfect panoramas at every bend.
- Portovenere - Before the end of the tour, admire Portovenere from the sea, the lesser-known gem in the Gulf of Poets, just a stone’s throw away from the famous Cinque Terre, but still one of the most picturesque town in Italy.
- Monterosso al Mare - The tour will end in Monterosso.

Sunset cruise a must in this area! - We had a great experience on our sunset cruise! Our host Max was amazing, along with his little companion giga a tiny dog. It was great fun and Max was very knowledgeable of the area. Took photos for us and plenty of drinks and food available. Great way to see the 5 towns from a water view

Beautiful ride, lackluster host - The cruise started too early to really be a sunset cruise, and it ended an hour earlier than advertised as well. It took 30 minutes to ferry everyone out in a tiny boat (which ran out of gas partway through). I don't recommend wearing a dress. The host put out some drinks and snacks, and told us to serve ourselves (they did keep the wine flowing, though). They paid no attention to us for the rest of the trip, and ignored anyone trying to ask questions about the coastline. It was still a lovely boat ride, but I was expecting a little more from the experience.

I got ripped off! - I paid for and enbarked on a sunset cruise that was not really a sunset cruise since we did not see one. The reason for not seeing the sunset cruise is that the boat captain left the sea early. He gave us some bull reason that the waters get dark and unsafe. If that is the case then they should not be selling a sunset cruise since some darkness is part of the sun setting. Furthermore, I tried to get a refund from Viator and I was denied without a reason. Therefore I would not recomend purchasing any events from from Viator.
