Most cruise itinerary planners tell you which ports you are visiting. PortTrip tells you exactly what to do in each one, how to get there, how much it costs, and precisely when to leave to make your ship.

Most 7-night Mediterranean cruises visit 4–6 ports. Common itineraries combine Rome (Civitavecchia) with Naples, Santorini, Athens, Dubrovnik, and either Barcelona or Florence (Livorno). 14-night itineraries add Split, Kotor, Mykonos, and Lisbon.
Typically 6–10 hours. All-aboard times range from 15:00 to 20:00 depending on the port and the next day's schedule. Check your cruise line's app or the daily newsletter for your specific times.
Yes — for the vast majority of ports. All major ports have direct public transport to city centres and attractions. PortTrip gives you the exact route, cost, and return timing for each port.
PortTrip is free for 3 ports. PortTrip Pro unlocks every port on every cruise you take for a year. Ship excursions for the same ports would typically cost €500–€900.
The best itinerary depends on your interests. For history: Rome + Athens + Ephesus (Kusadasi). For scenery: Santorini + Mykonos + Kotor + Dubrovnik. For ease: Split + Kotor + Dubrovnik + Venice. PortTrip builds a plan for every port in every itinerary.
