Top Rome Canal Cruises

Escape the crowds and heat of Rome for a day on the stunning island of Ponza. A quick one hour transfer in an air-conditioned vehicle will take you from central Rome to the coast. From there, board a fast ferry for the 1.5-hour crossing to Ponza (ferry ticket €60 per person, payable at check-in). Once in Ponza, set off on a 5-hour boat tour around Ponza’s spectacular coastline. Cruise past dramatic cliffs, sea caves, and hidden coves as your tour leader shares insights about the island’s history and geology. Along the way, enjoy several stops to swim and snorkel in crystal-clear Mediterranean waters. Bring your own snorkel gear or rent it in advance by selecting the option when booking. Relax onboard with a freshly prepared pasta lunch served picnic-style, accompanied by water, local wine, and an Italian espresso. After the boat tour, enjoy an hour of free time to explore Ponza’s charming harbor, browse local shops, or grab a gelato. Arrive back in Rome at approximately 9:00 PM.
