Many online services help you figure the best travel options for your budget and expectations. From luxury cruises to study-abroad cruises with undergraduate students, your options are just about limitless.
Walk up the Acropolis in Athens, Greece? Row a boat in Capri, Italy? Relax on the white sandy beaches of the Greek Isles? Eat tapas in Seville, Spain? Venture to the pyramids of Egypt? You are about to visit the most historical and popular locations of the Western world. Determine your priorities for the trip, be they dining, history, culture, architecture or having a chance to relax. Choosing port locations based on these must-dos ups your chances of having a satisfying trip.
Cruises dock in each port for various time periods, as short as an afternoon or as long as a few days. You can either set up your activities before leaving for your vacation or while on the ship. Group activities through the cruise guarantee a stress-free adventure because they include tour guides, translators, restaurant options and shopping guides. Examples of trips include: historic tour of the Acropolis, boat tour of Capri, flamenco dancing in Seville, shopping in the markets of Istanbul and gourmet five-course dinners in France.
