#cruiseholiday Arriving in Ancona aboard MSC Cruises feels like stepping into a mix of maritime history and Italian coastal life. Nestled on the Adriatic Sea, Ancona greets visitors with its curved harbour, terracotta rooftops, and the grand white facade of the Cathedral of San Ciriaco perched high on the hill. From the port, it’s an easy stroll into the old town, where narrow streets wind past piazzas, artisan shops, and cosy cafés. The Piazza del Plebiscito, with its open-air charm, is a perfect spot to sip an espresso and people-watch. For history lovers, the Arch of Trajan, dating back to Roman times, offers a glimpse into the city’s ancient role as a vital port. Ancona also rewards wanderers with sweeping sea views from its hilltop promenades. If time allows, the bustling Mercato delle Erbe is worth a visit for fresh local produce and authentic street snacks. Cruise stops here are often short, so the city’s compact centre works in your favour—you can see a lot in just a few hours. Whether you’re drawn to architecture, history, or simply the laid-back Adriatic vibe, Ancona leaves you with a warm slice of Italy before you sail on to your next destination.

#mediterranean Tolentino, tucked between the Sibillini mountains and the Adriatic, is best known for its basilica of San Nicola, where pilgrims and art lovers alike can admire its 14th-century frescoes. This small town also played a role in Napoleonic history with the treaty of Tolentino signed here in 1797. Spend the day visiting the piazza della Libertà, the civic museum inside the castello della Rancia, and the delightfully offbeat museum of caricature. It’s a great stopover for those driving through the Marche region or exploring the countryside of Macerata province.
