Seven Seas Prestige at Portofino

Seven Seas Prestige brings Regent Seven Seas' all-inclusive luxury experience to the Italian Riviera. Published Portofino calls in our data typically allow a standard to long day ashore — enough for a coordinated small-group tour when tendering is smooth.

Regent Seven Seas ships anchor offshore like other mainstream vessels. Prestige passengers benefit from smaller guest numbers than the largest cruise ships, but return queues still build on busy mornings.

Tender guidance

Most cruise ships do not dock directly in Portofino due to the small size of the harbour. Instead, ships anchor offshore and passengers are transported into the village using tender boats. The tender ride itself offers fantastic views of the Italian Riviera coastline and the colourful Portofino harbour as you arrive.

Read our tender port guide and cruise port guide. Meet excursions at FARMACIA 5–7 minute walk from the tender pier (approximately 300 metres).
