There may be an occasional port change from Taormina/Naxos to Messina caused by periodic high winds. Messina is accessible to the same sightseeing as Taormina, but is a slightly longer ride. This port requires an increase in cost as the distance from these highlights is further (50 Euros paid to the driver.) Often this change is last-minute and we ask you to have your purser call the number provided on your voucher to advise the driver/escort of the change so they can reach you as quickly as possible. We have found that travelers are willing to pay this fee rather than sacrificing a day of exploring in Sicily.

Your guide will be waiting for you as you disembark or, at a minimum, might be slightly delayed but will meet you. You may have an slight adjustment to your tour itinerary depending on your exit time, but be assured that your knowledgeable driver/escort will direct you to a satisfying day. If you aren’t interested in continuing the tour because of this port change please have your purser contact the emergency number provided on your voucher and you will be refunded in full.
