Wow. Thank you all so much for the awesome feedback! In September 2025 we'll be 52 & 54 so we can handle a lot of walking. I was leaning towards Option #2 so thank you for helping me solidify this decision! 🙂 It just so happens to be the least expensive cruise option too, bonus! Back in September 2020, we had a 12 day East/West med cruise booked for our 20th Anniversary which sadly was canceled because of Covid. Some ports on this new itinerary are the same so it will be fun to go through my old files to see what we had originally planned. I had done quite a bit of research and had private tours booked for some ports before we had to cancel. That cruise also left from Barcelona. We were supposed to spend 3 nights in Barcelona and go to Montserrat for a day, visit Segrada Familia, etc... Excited to start planning now that the itinerary is picked! I'll definitely add all your great feedback to my file for each port which will be a big help! I am sure I will have more questions! 🙂 Thank you so much! 🙂

Hello, I wasn't sure which forum to post this in so please let me know if I should post it somewhere else... My husband and I are planning a European cruise for our 30th Wedding Anniversary in Sept 2025. Neither of us have been to Europe before. We are having a hard time choosing an itinerary that would be best for first-timers. We don't know if we'll ever be back to Europe so trying to cram as much in as possible. We love the beach so we'd prefer a mix of history and beach and try to hit all the must see attractions at each port. Easy to navigate ports for do-it yourselfers would be a bonus too. Option 1 10 nights - Depart Rome, Corfu, Dubrovnik, Split, Bar Montenegro, Olympia, Messina/Sicily, Naples, Rome (End) Option 2 14 nights - Depart Barcelona, Valencia, Nice, Ajoccio/Corsica, La Spezia, Santa Margherita, Rome, Naples, Messina/Sicily, Santorini, Ephesus/Kusadasi, Mykonos, Athen (End) Option 3 12 nights - Depart Barcelona, Marseille, St. Tropez, Monte Carlo, Florence, Rome, Napes, Siracusa/Sicily, Santorini, Ephesus/Kusadasi, Mykonos, Athens (End) Option 4 14 nights - Depart Rome, Naples, Messina/Sicily, Kotor, Dubrovnik, Split, Ravenna, La Spezia, Nice, Marseille, Barcelona (End) Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :).

Hi, We've been to Emerald once, a few years ago... Considering going again in a couple weeks.. Can I ask what is the new attraction you're referring to?
