MSC Magnifica

Enjoy a night out in the Dominican Republic, dancing and listening to music like a local. You'll enjoy private transportation and the attention of a dedicated guide, which means you don't have to worry about navigation, directions, or safety. Jam to salsa, merengue, bachata, and reggaeton.

Ride through the Dominican countryside in an open safari truck, visit a cacao and coffee plantation, and feed friendly squirrel monkeys.

Fly over the tropical forest on a series of ziplines, an easy-to-book adventure from the La Romana pier.

Head straight from the pier to one of Tortola's beautiful beaches, such as Cane Garden Bay, for a few hours of swimming and sun.

A boat ride to The Baths on Virgin Gorda, where giant granite boulders form grottoes and tidal pools along a white-sand beach. One of the most famous sights in the Caribbean.

A private guided hike through Tortola's hillside forest to ruins of an old windmill and sweeping views over the islands.

A fast boat ride around the island to snorkel with turtles and tropical fish, then beach time and lunch on a small island off the coast. One of the most-booked tours in St. Maarten.

Drive your own off-roader over the hills and coast roads, ending at Maho Beach, where jets land just over your head. Built around cruise ship times.

A private guide shows you both the Dutch and French sides of the island: Philipsburg, Marigot, Orient Bay and the best lookouts, at your own pace.

A full day along one of the world's most famous coastlines, with time in clifftop Positano, Amalfi and Sorrento and photo stops at the best viewpoints on the coast road.

Walk the streets, villas and forum of the Roman city buried by Vesuvius with an expert guide who brings everyday life in 79 AD to life. A great half-day option.

Learn to make real Neapolitan pizza, and gelato for dessert, in the city where pizza was born, then sit down to eat what you made. Two hours, so it fits any port day.

Leave from the cruise terminal for the pastel harbor of Portofino, including a boat ride along the Ligurian Riviera and free time in the village.

Taste your way through Genoa's old town with a local foodie: fresh focaccia, pesto from its birthplace, farinata and more, adding up to a full meal.

A relaxed two-hour ride through the narrow lanes and grand palazzi of Genoa's historic center, one of the largest medieval old towns in Europe.

Take the wheel of a soft-top 4x4 and follow the coastal Route des Crêtes to the fishing village of Cassis and the limestone cliffs of the Calanques, stopping wherever the views call for it.

Paddle with a guide along the white limestone cliffs of the Calanques, slipping into hidden coves and stopping to swim in clear Mediterranean water.

See Marseille's Old Port and Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica, then head inland to stroll the fountains, markets and café-lined boulevards of Aix-en-Provence before returning to the ship.
