Overlooking the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea and set against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Etna, Taormina is Sicily’s sparkling crown jewel. Visit this historical hilltop town on an MSC Cruises excursion and enjoy a day of extraordinary architecture and breathtaking views.

  • Stop by the classical Greek-Roman theatre, the Medieval Corvaia Palace, and the ancient Odeon Roman theatre. Then, wander the beautiful streets of the town and indulge in a spot of shopping.Explore the lunar landscapes of Mount Etna on a once-in-a-lifetime tour. Book an MSC Cruises excursion to Sicily’s active volcano, a legendary site in Greek Mythology. Ascend 1,900 metres to the cable-car terminal of Rifugio Sapienza before walking the volcanic landscapes around the inactive Silvestri Craters. Next, board an off-road ‘super truck’ for a drive up to the 2,920-metre high Torre del Filosofo (the amazing Philosopher’s Tower).One of the main cities of Sicily is most certainly Messina, a destination that can be visited with an MSC Cruises Excursion. Messina is a city located in the north-eastern part of Sicily, right next to the strait that separates Sicily from Calabria. Take a glimpse at its main touristic sites such as the Fountain of Neptune, the Court House and University.
