Twogreynomads Posted June 10, 2020 #1 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Now that there is at least a faint glimmer of hope that cruising will restart in my lifetime I would be interested to hear of your favourite cruise ports. We have been very lucky to have visited some beautiful places such as Lisbon, Tallin and Copenhagen but our favourites have always been the smaller ports in Norway especially Olden. Where is your special place? Viv 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Peterson Posted June 10, 2020 #2 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Reykjavik for me - beautiful city, beautiful country, lovely people. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denarius Posted June 10, 2020 #3 Share Posted June 10, 2020 To me nothing can beat Venice. But Dubrovnik and Kotor come close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silversurf1 Posted June 10, 2020 #4 Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) Venice for me too, but I haven’t cruised there. I have cruised to La Coruna twice, which I found charming and The Faroes. Edited June 10, 2020 by silversurf1 Addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted June 10, 2020 #5 Share Posted June 10, 2020 So many places that I haven't visited yet! But from the places I've been to, here are some that have left a big impression Valletta, Malta (like a post card) Havana, Cuba (like a time machine, going back in time 70 years) Glacier Bay, Alaska (words, photos and videos don't do this place justice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are 3 of our favourite places too - the scenery as you sail in to Kotor is beautiful. To us Venice tops everywhere though and we have been there on cruises 5 times and have also stayed a few days in a hotel on the Grand Canal on 3 occasions - should have been there last month 😢.

Angel57 Posted June 10, 2020 #7 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Agree Dubrovnik is very lovely as is Olden, but for me it’s sailing Into Sydney and passing the Opera House as the sun rises. Magical....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyMichelle Posted June 10, 2020 #14 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Nobody has mentioned Southampton yet? 😊 Copenhagen is one of our favourites as is Olden, but we also like Alesund with the road train up the hill, but take me anywhere please.

It's a long time since I have been, but Maui was beautiful and all I remember about the Big Island was it rained constantly. Pearl Harbour was emotional but I didn't really enjoy Honolulu.
