Florence, Italy 🇮🇹 – A Port Day to Remember

From our cruise port to the heart of Florence, today felt like stepping into a living museum. Renaissance architecture, beautiful piazzas, and streets filled with centuries of history around every corner. One of the highlights was visiting the incredible Basilica of Santa Croce — often called the Temple of the Italian Glories. Inside are the tombs of some of Italy’s greatest minds, including Michelangelo, Galileo Galilei, and Niccolò Machiavelli. Standing in a place where so much history rests… it really puts Florence’s legacy into perspective. Port days like this remind us why we love cruising through Europe — every stop brings a new story, new culture, and a chance to walk through history. Florence truly delivered today. #florence #florenceitaly #santacroce #italytravel #cruiseport #cruisetravel #renaissance #travelitaly #hubbardsjourney #hubbardsjourneycrew
