Do not expect the best of French food on a cruise. Also, you could miss seeing a lot of details because you are busy with dinner. Why not take a cruise and enjoy the sights and then go to a wonderful dinner? Double the ambiance and much better food.

Aix!!!!!!

The perfume factory is on the same road as Eze Village and just a few yards down the hill. Eze is at the highest point and the road goes down hill.Use Google maps.

Ask the tour operator which hill. I doubt it is the Nietsche trail. There is a parking lot by the perfume factory that is also "down the hill" from the entrance to Eze.

I have seen some Seabourn itineraries that would do it.

That is like saying that you are in Port Canaveral and you want to take a taxi to Florida.

A couple of months. Longer if you are going in high season.

Have you toured Palma itself? The cathedral, royal palace, etc?

No. The crowds are there regsrdless, but one of the small group tours will make it easier to go around and to communicate with your guide.

AJ- I second edinburgher's post. As for sardines, they are practically the national dish of Portugal and practically every restaurant serves the traditional fried sardines plus some variations. Favor mostly seafood restaurants so you can also try other great seafood. Just walk down the street and look at the menus. Look at what people at sidewalk tables are having. Can't go wrong.

You should miss going to the beach. In March the water will be frigid and beach facilities will be closed. The Med is not the Caribbean. Barcelona is about the same latitude as NYC.

There are some smaller fields near Grasse, not far from Cannes.

Last year inRome, we also had an early arrival and we decided to tour the Colosseum the same afternoon. It kept us in the sunlight and active for the rest of the day. We did book directly through ccopculture. Search this board for a lot of info.

Compare the itinerary the little train's. You might be better off with the train if it takes you right to Notre Dame de la Garde.

A couple of days in high season might not be enough if you want a specific time. Try a couple of months. Yes, sunset is magical, but the timing might not work for everyone.

A few months before covid. Their website seems to show they are still in business. Don't know what else to tell you. I hope they respond soon.

Oooops! Of course, I meant "porchetta", not "bruschetta" originated in Ariccia. 😳🤪

Consider the Castelli Romani area just outside Rome. It has beautiful views (Lake Albano, hills), towns, wineries. Some of the towns are Frascati (wine), Castel Gandolfo (Pope's summer palace), Ariccia (where bruschetta originated), etc. Rome in Limo can create a custom tour for you. Cruise tours never go there.

The OP is going in April. The water will be very cold!

That is true for foreign ships wanting to cruise in only one country. Domestic ships can sail exclusively in their country. So, if you are looking for a Greece only cruise, sail a Greek cruise line like Celestyal. Check them out. It could also be less expensive. And they may be allowed to dock in the ferry port in Santorini - no donkeys!

Ther is a winery right in the outskirts of the town. You can take a taxi there.

You will run out of things to do in Cannes fairly quickly. Go to Nice first. Save Cannes for when you get back from Nice.

Santorini is the island. Oia is a town. Yes, the ferry only takes you from the old port of Fira (cable car port) to the port for Oia. Why? They are splitting the income opportunity with the cable car people. Boat one way, cable car back.

That would be a total waste of your time and money and a missed opportunity to see an extraordinary city. Istanbul is one of the most historic and beautiful ports on that or any other cruise.
