Cruising the Mediterranean

A cruise holiday is such a wonderful experience; each day brings a new destination to discover…if you want to. It’s a world of excitement and culture in one trip. You get to experience so many different destinations on one 12 day cruise itinerary. I sailed out of Barcelona on a 12 day Mediterranean Cruise onboard the fantastic “Brilliance of the Seas”.

My 12 day cruise took me to Nice, Pisa, Rome, Olympia, Kusadasi in Turkey, Santorini, Athens, Naples and back to Barcelona. I saw the Palace at Monaco & the Casino in Monte Carlo, the Leaning tower of Pisa, the Sistine chapel, the Vatican, the sight of the first ever Olympic games, the ancient ruins of Ephesus, the Acropolis and the Island of Capri all on this one trip…..what a great way to see such amazing places.

My experience onboard the cruise ship can be described as nothing less than a 5* resort. The facilities onboard from the spa treatments, the art auctions, the casino and Broadway shows, the pools, bars & restaurants ensured that we enjoyed every moment onboard. The food was just wonderful, the quality & variety felt like we were dining in 5* restaurants every day. A cruise is a romantic experience & makes for an ideal honeymoon, its also perfect for a family holiday and one I intend to take my young children on in the years ahead.

I just love cruising and could never tire of the experience. If you haven’t tried cruising you don’t know what you are truly missing.
