Highlights of Ravenna Accessible Shore Excursion
Our most popular tour!
This full day private accessible shore excursion of Ravenna visits multiple UNESCO World Heritage Sites and includes round trip accessible transfers from the cruise port.
The beautiful city of Ravenna is home to eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites, several spectacular Byzantine mosaics, and the tomb of Dante Alighieri, the 14th century poet and author of the Divine Comedy.
Your accessible Ravenna shore excursion will last a full day and will include the best that the city has to offer. When you arrive at the cruise terminal, your guide and driver will pick you up in a wheelchair accessible van with a lift. From there, it’s a short drive into the city where you’ll be treated to a quiet, relaxing day in a surprisingly non-touristy Italian city.
If you enjoy ancient churches, you’re in for a treat! You’ll visit three Byzantine basilicas, where you’ll see some of Italy’s best mosaics—the Basilica of Sant’Apollinare Nuovo, the Basilica of San Vitale, and the Basilica of Sant’Apollinare in Classe.
Your Ravenna accessible shore excursion doesn’t stop there though! You’ll also see the tomb of Dante Alighieri, the famous Italian poet who wrote the Divine Comedy. Although there is also a tomb in Florence dedicated to the beloved poet, his body actually lies here in Ravenna.
Along the way, you’ll visit the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, as well as the Baptistry of Neon. Enjoy the quiet solitude of these ornate, yet reverent structures, which are also UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
After you’ve experienced a full day in this little hidden gem of Italy, your guide and driver will return you to the cruise port before your ship departs.
The Highlights of Ravenna Accessible Shore Excursion features:
- Convenient accessible tour routes confirmed to be wheelchair accessible (no steps or curbs)
- 7 hour walking/rolling and driving tour
- Lively commentary by an officially-certified, English-speaking tour guide
- Tour guide familiar with the needs of disabled travelers
- Pick-up and drop-off at any centrally-located hotel or at the cruise port
- Memorable sightseeing and great photo opportunities in Ravenna!

Accessibility Details
The Highlights of Ravenna Accessible Shore Excursion has a 4 star Sage Accessibility Rating because it follows a step-free route and uses an accessible van for transportation. It did not receive a higher rating because the guide is unable to push a wheelchair and you will encounter some mild and medium cobblestones along the route.
When you arrive in port, you’ll go through the cruise terminal into the adjacent parking lot (shown on the left). This is where you will meet your guide and driver. Transportation will be in a wheelchair accessible vehicle with a lift (shown in the photo below on the right).
You will encounter some cobblestones along the route, like those on the path leading to the Basilica of Sant’Apollinare in Classe just outside Ravenna. Most of the cobblestones are mild like the ones shown in the photo on the left. There is a short stretch of medium cobblestones though, like those shown on the right.
You will use the wheelchair accessible entrance to the Basilica of Sant’Apollinare in Classe.
As shown below, all parts of the interior of the Basilica of Sant’Apollinare that are open to guests are smooth and flat. There are wheelchair ramps in the interior like the one shown on the right.
Your guide will lead you along a step free route in Ravenna, showing you the wheelchair accessible entrances and ramps at each stop, like the ones shown below at the Basilica of Sant’Apollinare Nuovo.
If you would prefer to use a normal vehicle for this excursion, please contact us for a price quote.
