Shall We Start from Sardinia?
Tall and elegant buildings in narrow streets of ancient charm, climbed on soft hills that surround the gulf area. Green parks, old Roman villas and large panoramic terraces, where you can admire groups of pink flamingos traveling towards the horizon at sunset. The beauty of Cagliari has fascinated visitors for millennia, and after Punic, Roman, Pisan, Aragonese and Spanish, D. H. Lawrence, in 1921, arriving by ship towards its port, described it as a city of stone, a Jerusalem on the Mediterranean Sea.
It is the sea from which Cagliari has always originated its life and its appeal. Located in the center of the western Mediterranean Sea, on the Italian island of Sardinia, it has always been coveted as a connection point between different destinations and cultures, becoming an exceptional melting pot. Its port still characterizes its soul and adorns the streets of its waterfront, decorating them with boats of all kinds from all over the world.
And here it is, a few steps from its heart, Cagliari Cruise Port, with its modernly built terminal and its large docks always ready to host cruise ships. Both a transit and turnaround port, Cagliari Cruise Port provides full terminal, marine and auxiliary services, continuously updating to always be competitive within the market. The latest improvement is the new wired data network system for ship-to-check-in connection that guarantees excellent connection standards and a faster embarkation.
The city waterfront has also been newly updated: the Port Network Authority of the Sardinia Sea has recently completed several redevelopment works of the port area, such as the “Good Wave”, a shading structure which, similar to a wave of wood, embellishes the pedestrian path connecting the port to the city centre, as well as the new cycle-pedestrian path that ends in the freshly inaugurated “Parco del Nervi” (Nervi Park), an equipped green area on the seafront, a unique example of industrial archeology in the port area of Cagliari and a starting point for excursions to discover the naturalistic oasis of Molentargius.
In this context, the international airport of Cagliari-Elmas, located only seven kilometers away from the cruise terminal and the ever wide range of accommodation facilities in the metropolitan area, the valid infrastructure and local transport system, give Cagliari Cruise Port the potential to easily manage intense turnaround operations also with Fly & Cruise or other packages that include pre or post cruise stays. Why not discover the Mediterranean Sea starting from the island with its oldest civilization?
