European Cruise Recommendations & travel agent reco

Original post by NapaValleyGirl

DH and I are starting to plan our 1 year anniversary

Since our anniversary is in September, we face lots of limits regarding where we can go.

I really want to go to Europe and I think a cruise is a great way to see different countries. We're thinking of a Mediteranean cruise (so we can see Greece, Italy etc.)

Does anyone recommend any particular cruise lines (I heard Royal Caribbean is very good) or possibly some travel agents?

Thanks in advance!

Cindy!!!!! Sorry to bump this...I was looking for a recipe I had posted and searched the work 'italian' and this came up! LOL!

Anyway have you done any more research? DH and I are thinking about an Italy trip in 2010 and so I have been doing some research on cruises but couldnt find a cruise that only went to Italy :(

We may end up going by train so we can stay longer in certain towns but I am curious to see if you came up with anything?




Hey girly,

We booked a trip to Mexico instead
But I did find some GREAT packages on Air France to tour Italy. This is a package that starts at about $1,500 per person.'

Enjoy the history of Rome, the art of Florence and the uniqueness of Venice all in one fabulous package. Every direction you turn in Rome you will run into evidence of the Roman Empire; the Colosseum, the Forum, the Pantheon all still standing. Amidst all of the ancient monuments is a bustling city full of taxis, buses and motor scooters. Move on to Florence, where you will find a more relaxed pace to life, with just as much to see as in Rome. Tour the many art galleries and museums, Florence is home to many great works including the Statue of David and Madonna and Child. Throw away the map once in Venice; getting lost is the best way to explore the city. Wander the many bridges and walkways until you stumble across Piazza San Marco or the Rialto Bridge. Take a romantic gondola ride through the scenic canals of Venice to top of your Italian adventure.
Package Includes
Round-trip airfare on Air France
2-night hotel accommodations in Rome
2-night hotel accommodations in Florence
2-night hotel accommodations in Venice
2nd class reserved rail between cities
Continental breakfast daily
Hotel taxes and service charges
Airline fuel surcharges
(Package price excludes airport taxes and fees)



Oh not bad! I think we may attempt to go by train. I have done it before and can hopefully survive again! I want to hit Capri, Tuscany, Cinque terre and some other smaller areas. Maybe 10 days but we'll see. Who knows if this will really happen. Here is my post from the other day on LIF...
