Luxury Riviera Experiences from Genoa

Ultimate Riviera — private transfers, harbour tables and zero coach convoys.

Luxury Riviera from Genoa means private Mercedes or minivan from the terminal, reserved harbour lunch tables, flexible Portofino pacing and optional boat charter — timed to your ship, not a 50-seat coach schedule.

Private tours sequence Portofino viewpoints, Santa Margherita promenade and Camogli according to your priorities — lunch reservations arranged weeks ahead, guide waiting at the terminal exit.

Premium experiences suit passengers who have seen Portofino on a group tour before or want an indulgent second visit with boat transfer and waterfront dining.

Luxury pricing reflects exclusivity and flexibility — strongest return-to-ship confidence when coastal road traffic is unpredictable.

  • Reserved Portofino or Santa Margherita lunch
  • Flexible viewpoint and photo stops

Tips for cruise passengers
