Review summary

The ship and the entire staff, from airport and hotel transfers to the wonderful people and service that we enjoyed on the boat, was simply fantastic. It was a once in a lifetime experience.

Ports of call

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

3 out of 5

Had been to Rome several times so we took another tour to Cinque Terre, which was beautiful. The tour however was very rushed, poorly organized and the tour director hurried us through takeing very little time to explain the history or landscape (as I saw other directors doing when we passed).
