Bari
Bari Vecchia’s narrow lanes, seaside promenades and Puglian food offer a warm introduction to southern Italy.
Where you arrive
Bari is both a cruise stop and an embarkation port. The old town is the local destination; farther-away places such as Alberobello require a separate transfer.
Find your pace
Three ways to spend your day
Local flavour
Look for orecchiette and focaccia barese, with time for a café stop.
A bigger day
Choose an organised visit into Puglia if you want to go beyond the city.
Before you head ashore
Check your terminal and the pedestrian route before walking out of the port. If embarking here, leave sightseeing until your luggage and check-in arrangements are settled.
Your berth, tender arrangements and available excursions can vary by sailing. Check the onboard programme, keep the ship’s emergency contact with you and plan to return before the published all-aboard time.
