The programme

From the Piazza Principe station, your tour escort will lead you straight to the Expo area, Genoa's Porto Antico, a reclaimed area toward the sea in the heart of Genoa's historic center. This is home to the Genoa Aquarium, one of Europe's leading aquariums. You'll follow a path along 71 tanks full of marine plants and animals. You'll discover multicolored tropical fish, sponges and jellyfish, natural corals, steely-eyed sharks and even playful dolphins, seals and penguins. You can even stroke some ray fish specimens in the touch pools. A real "tour through the oceans of the world" that will thrill young and old.

Good to know

This excursion is suitable if you have slight mobility impairments and can walk short distances unassisted. If you are a wheelchair user, the presence of a companion not provided by the ship is required. Most of our operators require the wheelchair to be foldable. However, in some ports there may not be adequate space to accommodate wheelchairs on the bus.
The journey from Genoa Station to the Aquarium is approximately 20 minutes on foot.
