Did you enjoy Galapagos? Did you include a pre or post tour stay? We are looking into a March 2027 trip with either Mashpi Lodge or Machu Picchu added..

We’ve done cruises on Seabourn the last four summers:
-Barcelona, Menorca, Sete, Bandol, St Tropez, Malta, Trapani, Lipari, Taormina, Amalfi and Rome
-Lisbon, Porto, Bilbao, Mont St Michel, Cherbourg, Rouen (2-nights), Brugge and Amsterdam
-Dubrovnik, Kotor, Sarande, Gallipoli, Zakynthos, Nafplio, Athens, Gythio, Chania, Syros, Cesme, Kusadasi and Istanbul
-Lisbon, Gibraltar, Granada, Cartagena, Menorca, St Tropez, Portofino and Genoa

My favorite was Lisbon to Amsterdam probably due to the Cherbourg (Normandy) and Mont St Michel stops. Bilbao, Brugge and Porto were also great.

It was great. It took some time to pick out the right boat for us but settled on 4 night/5 day with 14 other passengers. So many options to choose from.

We spent 15 days in Ecuador total adding several days in Quito and Baños before the cruise. It was during covid so bouncing to other countries was difficult to plan. Good Friday in Quito is wild. Ecuador was really fun. Hiking, biking volcanoes, ATV, paragliding, canyoneering, etc.

We've done a few Caribbean cruises, a New England/Canada cruise, and a twelve day cruise out of Rome.

Doing a Mediterranean cruise as I type this. Great so far, but as expected, you just get a small taste of each city. We have done Caribbean, Alaskan, and a cruise through the Panama Canal. The Panama Canal cruise isn’t one I’ve seen listed on this thread but a very neat experience. We went years ago from New Orleans, Grand Cayman, Jamaica, Cartagena, Panama Canal, Costa Rica, Acapulco, and up to Alaska. The canal cruise we went on allowed you to depart in Acapulco and opt out of continuing to Alaska. We opted to depart early. While on this Mediterranean cruise I checked out the transatlantic routes and discovered they are surprisingly cheap. They are done when the ships are changing routes so you only get one date to choose from. I think the canal cruises are the same way.

I know it's what destinations have you done? One I'm hoping to get off the bucket list is the Panama Canal. Always something that has fascinated me.

Caribbean with one to Eastern Caribbean coming this January. Alaska after that on Princess.

I wish I discovered cruising when I was much younger. I absolutely enjoy them.

After Alaska we are looking at a 10-12 day European cruise ocean or river.

We did 15 days in Peru in 2024, which was absofrickinglutely awesome. The hike to Machu Picchu was so worth it. The food is incredible in Peru. We then did 10 days in Galapagos. 5 on land and 5 on a small boat as well (I believe 14). Really enjoyed diving with all the sharks, especially the hammerheads.

We did an Alaskan cruise with Celebrity back in 2017 which was our first and it was great. Looking forward to doing Alaska again at some point.

In Nov-Dec we just did an 18 day Antarctica Cruise with Swan Hellenic which was unreal. We spent another 3 weeks in Argentina. Really enjoyed S. America the last couple years.
