Azamara Onward: 9-Night Cruise from Civitavecchia (Rome) - August 6, 2027

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Amalfi, Italy, from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing.

As a smaller vessel, the Azamara Onward means a quicker disembarkation in Syracuse, Sicily - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster.

Arriving in Argostoli, Kephalonia at 1:00 pm with only 7 hours hours before your 8:00 pm departure is a tight window.
