Bari, Italy

Cruises from Bari depart from spring through fall.

Situated in southeastern Italy along the Adriatic Sea, the capital of Puglia is believed to have been inhabited since 1500 B.C. Visit the old town district to see the stately 12th-century Romanesque cathedral and the Basilica of San Nicola, founded in 1087 to house the relics of Bari's patron saint, St. Nicholas (often referred to as Santa Claus). To explore local cuisine, shore excursions include pasta-making classes or food tours seeking figs, burrata cheese, warm focaccia and, of course, scoops of gelato. Along with a castle dating to the 1130s, this Italian university town offers a seaside promenade, an impressive archeological museum and Via Sparano, a famed shopping street for luxury brands.
