Our First Stop on the MSC Meraviglia(2022)
Genoa
has historically been a busy port on the Mediterranean Sea
It is the birthplace of Christopher Columbus and Niccolo Pagannini |

Our previous cruise ship the Windstar Legend
carried only 300 passengers We are now aboard the MSC Meraviglia with a capacity of over 4,000 Currently fewer than 2,000 are onboard It operates almost like a ferry in that passengers arrive and depart at each port of call  |

Walking
from the cruise terminal, the first stop along the harbor was the
Porto Antico (Old Port) |

millions who emigrated from this port, predominantly to the USA |
