How much do cruises in Apulia cost?

Prices sit in the mid-range for Italy, and the shorter Polignano a Mare and Santa Maria di Leuca trips are the most affordable. Catamaran cruises with an aperitif on board are the premium option. Because operators price per person and extras like drinks or snorkelling gear vary, check the live price on each activity page before booking.

Which Apulia cruises offer free cancellation?

Almost every cruise listed here includes free cancellation, so you can reserve a place and change plans if the weather turns. Look for the free cancellation label on the activity page and check the stated deadline, which is usually a set number of hours before departure.

About Apulia

Apulia's coastline is made for a first boat trip: limestone cliffs, sea caves and water clear enough to see the bottom from the deck. Start on the Ionian side with the 3-Hour Boat Tour to the Caves of Santa Maria di Leuca: Explore the Adriatic Coast, or head north for the Desirèe Experience: Guided Cruise along Vieste's South Coast, one of the region's most-reviewed cruises.

Frequently asked questions

Most cruises here are short, guided and leave from small harbours, so there is nothing to organise yourself. Departures from Santa Maria di Leuca, Vieste, Polignano a Mare and Bari run roughly two to three hours, which suits anyone new to boat trips. Crews handle navigation and commentary, and swimming or snorkelling stops are optional.
