Two weeks on a South Pacific cruise with Princess! I never knew, never saw, water in so many hues and colors! We flew into Papeette (sp?), Tahiti and cruised around the island and then to Moorea, Bora Bora, and all around the French Society Islands and then to the Cook Islands. It was fabulous! We never had to tender into anywhere because of the ship's smaller size. Most of our excursions were beach getaways or wonderful hikes and treks into tropical locales, so, we made sure to have several swimsuits each and quick dry shirts/shorts. Adding in some dressy capris/tops, and a few long sundresses, sandals, and undergarments, I think I never packed more lightly in my life.
A very close second choice was a two week Costa Cruise from Venice to Genoa, calling on most major Adriatic Italian ports, plus Corfu Greece; Malta, and a few other ports in the Med; then, several western Italian ports, including Naples, Capri, the port near Rome, and one or two others before ending in Genoa. Just wonderful!
