Rare Miaminice Posted August 19, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) A journey filled with cultural highlights, overwhelming history and Italian Dolce Vita. Plus the beautiful Silhouette and her fabulous crew as the icing on the cake. Starting in Rome with an overnight in Jerusalem this was one of our best cruises ever!!! Please read our photo filled review on our private homepage. Take your time, sit back and relax. Immerse into the story and travel to places with us that at some points felt like a different world. http://www.travelandcruise.net/travellove_en/Our-Trips/Holy-Land-Cruise-01/holy-land-cruise-01.html Hope you enjoy it! Let us know if you did! Oliver & Birgit Edited August 19, 2015 by Miaminice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Bimmer09 Posted August 19, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Oliver-thanks for posting this. Not an itinerary I am familiar with so a voyage of discovery... It features the Silhouette, which is one beautiful ship (eye candy) and I'll get to sail her in January. Your photos as usual tell a great story.

Rare Miaminice Posted August 20, 2015 Author #9 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Hi, Very nice review! Could tell me if you created the map yourself? How have you done it? Thank you Hi Dakkar. thank you! The map is created with the free software "Map Creator". I did not create the map you saw, but they are quite easy to design. I am also active on a German speaking cruise forum. When roll calls are posted there, a map is created for the members of the forum. So I did not have to do the work :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onelung Posted August 20, 2015 #11 Share Posted August 20, 2015 What a wonderful review. You brought back many happy memories of our Holy Land cruise a few years ago. I'm especially jealous that you got to visit the Baha'i gardens as they were closed on our visit and we could only look longingly through the gates. You also take beautiful photos - well done.

MustBCruzn Posted August 20, 2015 #13 Share Posted August 20, 2015 What a wonderful review, I read it start to finish in one sitting (whew!). Loved, loved, loved your photos. You've inspired me to put this Holy Land cruise on our calendar for Sept/Oct 2017 just as soon as those itineraries come out. Thanks again. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFontaine Posted August 21, 2015 #14 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Bravo. Thank you for two wonderful hours. I got teary at the kindness of the rental car guy. And those capes and scarves in Israel are prayer shawls called tallit. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkwolfe Posted August 21, 2015 #15 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Excellent review indeed! But I must tell you that your feedback form has developed a bit of an issue. Possibly too many people playing with it today. That gave me some things to think about as we're planning a Europe/Med adventure in the next few years from the US. Even be a bit of time in Germany since I have unmet family there to go see. Ahh, TRAVEL!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Miaminice Posted August 21, 2015 Author #16 Share Posted August 21, 2015 ... But I must tell you that your feedback form has developed a bit of an issue. Possibly too many people playing with it today....:D THANK YOU for letting us know! I will look into it today... One of the mysteries of the internet and creating a homepage. Sometimes it develops a life of its own. Although it is basically the same form, the one in German works... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
