While on your Tuscany cruise, you won’t be surprised to learn the cornerstones of the region’s cuisine are pasta and pizza, and few places can do that better than Tuscany. In places like Florence, Livorno, and Pisa, you’re still close enough to the coast to experience incredible local seafood and wine from Tuscan vineyards. Coffee, gelato, and rich desserts are hallmarks daily life here, enjoyed for pleasure and ritual, rather than occasional treats.
