Docking at Livorno? Tell us your dock and all-aboard times — we build a private Florence day timed so you are always back at the ship with room to spare.
Livorno is Florence's cruise port — and at roughly 90 km (about 90 minutes by car), the transfer alone shapes your whole day. A typical 10-hour port call leaves around 6–7 hours of sightseeing once the round-trip to the city is accounted for. That is enough for the Duomo, the Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, and the David, with a driver-guide keeping one eye on the clock the entire time. Pisa can be added, but the extra 75 minutes each way from Florence means shallower stops in both cities — we model the tradeoff honestly against your all-aboard before suggesting it.
Back at ship by 18:29 — before your 18:00 all-aboard
Usable window: 09:40 – 15:50(6h 10m usable)
09:40 land-ready → back 18:29 → 18:00 all-aboard
The red-tiled dome that defines the Florentine skyline. Brunelleschi's engineering marvel remains the world's largest masonry dome; the climb rewards with sweeping rooftop views over the terracotta sea of the old city.
The iconic stop here — and the timing still gets you back with room to spare.
Florence's medieval bridge has been lined with goldsmiths and jewellers since the 16th century. Best strolled in the morning light, when the Arno below glows amber and the crowds are still thin.

The panoramic terrace on the south bank: a bronze David replica presides over a 360° skyline of domes, towers, and cypress hills — the classic postcard view of Florence in a single frame.

The medieval campanile that never corrected its tilt, set in the Piazza dei Miracoli alongside the Duomo and Baptistery. NOTE: Pisa is ~75 min transfer each way from Florence — adding it is only viable on longer port days and compresses time in both cities. PROVISIONAL.

Tell us your arrival and all-aboard times and we will build a personalised itinerary — timed so you are always back at ship with time to spare.
Enter both times to continue.
About 90 km — roughly 90 minutes by car in normal traffic, making it one of the longer port-to-city transfers in the Mediterranean. We build in 100 minutes on arrival (port exit plus drive) and 130 minutes for the return (PROVISIONAL) so the transfer never catches you short.
Possibly — but the maths are tight. Pisa is roughly 75 minutes from Florence by car, so adding it means about 2.5 hours of extra driving on top of the port transfers. On a 10-hour port call that leaves shallow time in each city rather than a proper Florence morning. We lay out the numbers honestly once we know your all-aboard time.
