Catania Cruise Reviews

Choose to see Mt Etna and Taormina. Great excursion with different options. ...

We walked around on our own as we had already decided where and what we were going to do. It is easy to get off the ship and walk around. We do not like large group tours. ...

Went to Mt. Etna, and a beautiful jewelry workshop, tour through Celebrity. Don't be mislead, they are showing you their workshop, not you actually making the jewelry. Nice tea and biscuits/finger sandwiches-type spread on their lovely patio. The best part of the tour, though, was the end, when the tour guide took us on an extra-special route back to the ship, where we were able to view some ...
