Touring in Ravenna
Ravenna is one of the most historically significant cities in Italy and a hidden gem among Adriatic cruise ports. Once the capital of the Western Roman Empire, the seat of the Ostrogothic Kingdom, and a major center of Byzantine power, Ravenna holds eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites — all early Christian monuments renowned for their extraordinary mosaics. These are not museum reproductions: they are the original 5th- and 6th-century works, still glittering on the walls and ceilings of the baptisteries, mausoleums, and basilicas where they were placed more than 1,500 years ago. A private Ravenna shore excursion lets you explore these treasures at your own pace with a knowledgeable local guide, without competing for space on a crowded group bus. We also offer private transfers between the Ravenna cruise port and Venice or Bologna for passengers beginning or ending their cruise here.
