What people are saying about Sicily

The cruise is pleasant and allows you to visit each of the islands. We were lucky enough to see Stromboli erupt even though it was less intense than earlier in the week. The boat stayed long enough in front of the volcano for us to enjoy the show. And what about the sunset over the sea. We didn't know where to look, I recommend this activity

Great boat tour, Panarea is a very pretty village and an ideal bathing stop. Stromboli also very pretty and ample time to eat a great Italian stone oven pizza. The Stromboli was very active during our tour and from the ship you could watch the eruptions and the lava flow. An unforgettable natural spectacle!

Lipari really a surprise, panarea nice but to get to the beach is an impossible mission in August, stromboli unfortunately we were not able to get off due to the flood a few days earlier. I recommend taking the extra ride for a fee.

Great value for money. Stromboli erupted quite a few times - but travelling on a Sunday meant few restaurants were open.

Had fun, the swims and views were great and the fruit was a nice touch.
