Sardinia Short Overview

Sardinia is located about 120 miles from the Italian mainland which is surrounded by the Mediterranean to the west, the Tyrrhenian Sea to the east and south, and the Straits of Bonifacio to the north. Sardinia is the second largest Mediterranean island after Sicily Island. D. H. Lawrence, a British author, compares this Mediterranean island to a “Celtic landscape unlike any other place else on earth.” in his book “Sea and Sardinia.” Though part of Sardinia’s wild coastline has been tamed with the ultra-chic resorts of the Costa Smeralda and cosmopolitan Cagliari dotted with designer boutiques, Lawrence’s description still holds true.

Sardinia Cruise Vacation

sardinia-cruise

Sardinia Cruise ships calling at Olbia, Alghero or Cagliari provide a range of excursions to cover the most interesting and typical sights, sounds, and tastes of this Island of the Sards, as its proud people are called. English language simply does not have enough words for shades of turquoise and blue to describe the color of the seas of Sardinia.

The highlight of cruise excursions with Oceania or MSC is the magnificent wind-and-wave-smoothed pinkish granite coastline of the Costa Smeralda and Baia Sardegna. Here the sea is more emerald than typical Mediterranean turquoise because of the way beach sand from the granite reflects sun light. Photo opportunities at exclusive marinas such as Porto Cervo allow glimpses of the rich and famous on their yachts. Princess Diana used to dine at the Cala di Volpe, and latest celebrities seen enjoying the waterspouts around here include Tom Cruise and family.
