About Genoa
Genoa's old port is the natural starting point for anyone new to the city by water — a working harbour where ferries, fishing boats and tour vessels share the same waterfront. First-timers can stay close to shore with the Genoa: Aquarium, Galata Museum & Submarine Entry Tickets, or head straight out into the Ligurian Sea on the Genoa Cetacean-Watching Cruise with a Marine Biologist Guide, which pairs open-water scenery with expert commentary on the whales and dolphins of the Pelagos Sanctuary.

Frequently asked questions
Genoa's port sits right beside the historic centre, so you can combine a boat trip with the aquarium, the Galata maritime museum and the caruggi lanes on foot. Cruises range from short harbour and cetacean-watching outings to full-day runs along the Portofino coast, letting you see the Riviera's cliffs and villages from the water before you.
