Planning a trip takes hours. It takes you three minutes.

Send a message on WhatsApp. From there on, it’s off your hands.

You tell us three things

Where you’d like to go, how many days, and roughly your budget. Haven’t picked a destination yet? That’s fine — we’ll get there together.

We put the options together

We compare cruise lines, hotels, flights and dates, then send you two or three real options — all-in, no surprises. You pick the one you like.

You travel — and you’re never on your own

Bookings, tickets, excursions, paperwork: done. And if anything happens while you’re away, you call us. Sundays included.

👉 That’s it. No forms, no website to figure out, no extra cost.

What we do most

The right cruise for you — not the most popular one

Some people want the Mediterranean with the kids and a pool that never closes. Some want to sail in January, when it’s quieter and cheaper. And some choose the ship before the destination.

There is no single best cruise — only the one that fits you. We work with Costa, MSC and Royal Caribbean, and we’ll tell you honestly which one makes sense, even when it isn’t the one you expected.

  • Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Caribbean, Emirates, world cruises
  • Cabins and decks chosen around who’s travelling with you
  • Excursions, transfers and port parking — we book them for you
  • You still collect your loyalty points, and you get our discount on top

“Wouldn’t it be cheaper to book it myself online?”

Everyone asks. The honest answer is: almost never.

The price isn’t higher. It’s often lower.

We have trade agreements and fares that don’t show up on public sites. With Costa, for example, our discount is added on top of the one you already have.

You don’t pay us a fee.

There is no agency charge: we’re paid by the operator, not by you.

You don’t lose an evening to it.

No twenty open tabs, no comparing six websites, no guessing what the single supplement covers.

If something goes wrong, there’s a person.

Cancelled flight, lost luggage, a problem on board: you call one number and someone who knows you picks up. Not a support form.

There’s one person behind this website

Altea Viaggi has been open in Carlentini, Sicily, since 2004. The core of it hasn’t changed: whoever walks in — or writes — talks directly to Marcello.

We’re not a booking portal. We’re a small-town agency that has spent twenty-two years learning one thing properly: listening to what someone actually wants, and building the right trip around it. A lot of the families travelling with us today were travelling with us ten years ago — now they bring their children.

If you want a site where you click «book» and disappear, this isn’t it. If you want someone who answers, it is.

The things you hope you’ll never need

Medical cover

Medical expenses, hospital stays, early repatriation. Outside Europe this isn’t a detail — it’s the difference between an inconvenience and a serious problem.

Cancellation cover

If a health problem stops you from travelling, you’re reimbursed. Seven out of ten of our clients take it — and the ones who don’t often wish they had.

Luggage and disruption

Bags that don’t arrive, delays, missed connections. There’s cover for all of it: we’ll tell you what’s genuinely worth having and what isn’t.

📞 And then there’s us. Our number stays on while you’re away. Saturdays and Sundays included.

Questions we get a lot

How much does it cost to book through you?
Nothing. There is no agency fee: you pay for the trip and that’s it. We’re paid by the cruise line or tour operator, not by you.
Do I have to come to the office?
No. We arrange most trips over the phone and on WhatsApp, often with people we’ve never met. But if you’d like to drop by, we’re at Via Cavour 82, Carlentini.
I haven’t decided where to go yet. Can I still write?
That’s the best case. Just tell us when, who’s coming and roughly your budget — the proposals are our job.
Do you only do cruises?
No. Cruises are what we do most, but we arrange honeymoons, resorts, European city breaks, the United States, Asia and fully tailored trips. Even a single flight or hotel.
Can I pay in instalments?
On many packages yes, and with some operators the balance is due close to departure. It depends on the supplier — ask us and we’ll tell you exactly how it works for your trip.
What if something happens while I’m travelling?
You call us. The number stays on at weekends too, and we deal with the operator directly on your behalf.
Is my money safe?
Yes. We are a licensed travel agency with a tourism licence and liability insurance, and we’re members of the guarantee fund required by Article 50 of the Italian Tourism Code, which protects travellers in case of insolvency.
Do you organise group trips?
Yes — extended families, parish groups, companies and special occasions. The bigger the group, the more it pays to have it organised properly.

So — where are we taking you?

Message us on WhatsApp and just tell us where you’d like to go. The proposals are on us, and you’re not committing to anything.
