Corfu

Venetian influences, shaded lanes and the sea-framed Old Fortress give Corfu Town its distinctive character.

Where you arrive

Cruise arrivals use Corfu’s port outside the historic centre. Old Town sightseeing and more distant beaches call for different transport plans.

Find your pace

Three ways to spend your day

01

Old Town at your pace

Explore the lanes, squares and café terraces.

02

A little history

Include the Old Fortress if its walking and steps suit your group.

03

An island escape

Choose one beach or countryside excursion rather than racing between several.

Before you head ashore

Check the day’s shuttle or taxi options and your terminal exit. Old Town has uneven paving; beach trips need a return plan with room for traffic.

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.
