Volcano Dinner Cruise

Volcano Dinner Cruise is a gourmet culinary odyssey, complete with sommelier, chef and live acoustic background music. This private sunset dinner cruise sails between Milazzo, Sicily, and the volcanic island of Stromboli in the Aeolian Islands.


Relaxed in luxury as bountiful seasonal delicacies of Sicily are served through sunset. 

Your gourmet five-course wine-paring dinner begins as we approach the volcanic Island of Stromboli - known for its perpetual eruptions as the "Lighthouse of the Mediterranean."


This once-in-a-lifetime epicurean experience is accented by the rhythm of small eruptions that can be viewed from the safety of Riana.
