Savi and Vid have been to over 500 cities in 70 countries, following their love of offbeat and luxury travel. From hiking glaciers in Alaska to dining with Penguins in South Africa, their adventures and photographs have been featured on several TV stations and newspapers, including Discovery Channel and the Huffington Post. They are particularly in love with road trips and in the last year alone, they’ve driven over 20,000 miles in a dozen countries. They write about their experiences on www.bruisedpassports.com.
The Port of Genoa is a fascinating little place—it resembles a scenic fishing harbour at some places and a busy docking port for large cruise ships at others. It’s easy to forget that Genoa’s port is one of the busiest in Europe if you station yourself at one of the cafés overlooking the fishing harbour. Here quaint markets, busy fishermen, and rustic bakeries are the order of the day.
Yet the Port of Genoa is also an extremely popular pit-stop for Mediterranean cruises. It provides the perfect opportunity to hop on a dazzling cruise ship for a journey around Spain, Greece, Turkey, and other areas of Italy. Some cruise ships that start in Genoa also venture to North Africa—Morocco, Tunisia, and Egypt. Choose a destination of your choice and sail away.
