Booked through iglu, which was seamless.
Flew Gatwick to Rome, shuttle to hotel (60mins), day and bit there, then private taxi to port (70mins) . On the enchanted princess about 12,45. We'd done everything at home, photos, payment card etc so our medallion ( your ship payment method) was ready. Went to our cabin which was clean, big enough for two, in good condition, nice fresh decor.
Then up on deck to use our drinks package ( first cruise we'd had one, great value @ £50 per person per day)
Then the fun continued, great ship, wonderful staff, visited some wonderful places.
Salerno, took boat ride along cost to Almafi, then went up in to the old part, had lunch, few shops. Back on the boat to the ship.
Santorini, busy busy. Nice to see, beautiful white buildings with blue roofed church's. Again took boat ride, then mini bus, which dropped us at the best viewing place. Lots of people, bars, restaurants but worth a vist. Then bus back to Elfes, which was lively, shops bars etc. We queued for 90 mins to use the cable car to go back down, rather than the 600 steps €10 per person.
Kuidesi, here we went on a private excursion to the ruins of ephesus
Worth the drive be ware it gets hot, can be slippery under foot on the old marble.
Did have some typical hard Turkish sell, took us to leather and carpet places, people bought we politely said No.
Kataklon, could of gone to olmpia site/ruins. We were beat by now, so got off, walked in to the small port and shopped, gifts, clothes etc. Had a drink back on board to use our free drink packages.
Rome, disembarked at 8. 50am easily off ship, collected luggage from warehouse, was picked up by our iglu transfer at 9. 25, to Rome airport.

The regional capital of northeastern Italy's Friuli Venezia Giulia is Trieste. It’s a port city located on the limestone-dominated Karst Plateau on a narrow strip of land between the Adriatic Sea and Slovenia's border. And its scenery, which includes a mediaeval old city and a neoclassical Austrian district, is influenced by Italy, Austro-Hungary, and Slovenia. There is a wide range of attractions in Trieste, including Miramare Castle, the Unity of Italy Square and the Revoltella Museum.
In Trieste, northern Italy, between Barcola and Grignano lies a castle from the 19th century called Miramare Castle. The Miramare Castle is without a doubt one of Trieste's top attractions because of its breathtaking setting that extends into the Gulf of Trieste. It was the home of the archduke Ferdinand Maximilian Joseph Habsburg-Lorraine and his wife Charlotte of Belgium, and was constructed between 1856 and 1860.
Unity of Italy Square
The centre of Trieste is Piazza Unità d'Italia (Unity of Italy Square). At the base of San Giusto Hill, it is a popular plaza that faces the Gulf of Trieste and is regarded as having the largest waterfront in Europe with an area of 12,280 square metres.
Revoltella Museum
A modern art gallery, the Revoltella Museum (or Palazzo Revoltella), was constructed between 1853 and 1858 following the plans of Berlin architect Friedrich Hitzig. The museum displays historical artefacts and furniture that belonged to the museum's founder as well as artistic and cultural treasures that, along with the interior fittings and the palace's architecture, serve as records of the Second Empire's varied taste.

Visiting the Stara Maslina, or the Old Olive Tree, is a humbling encounter with one of the world’s oldest living organisms, estimated to be over 2,000 years old. Located in the Mirovica district of Bar, this gnarled, massive tree has survived fires and wars, serving as a powerful local symbol of peace and reconciliation. Today, it stands within a beautifully maintained park where you can walk around its wide, twisted trunk and admire the silver-green leaves that still produce fruit. It’s a quiet, spiritual spot that offers a rare sense of continuity across two millennia of Mediterranean history.
Church of St. John Vladimir
A visit to the Church of St. John Vladimir offers a striking contrast to the ancient ruins of Bar, showcasing grand, modern Byzantine architecture. As the largest Orthodox cathedral in Montenegro, it is impossible to miss with its shimmering golden domes and white marble facade that glint under the Adriatic sun. Inside, the space is equally breathtaking, covered from floor to ceiling in vivid, hand painted frescoes and intricate gold leaf icons. Whether you are there for a quiet moment of reflection or to admire the craftsmanship, the cathedral stands as a brilliant centerpiece of the city's spiritual and cultural life.
Skadar Lake National Park
A visit to Skadar Lake National Park, just a short trip from Bar, feels like entering a mirror-still world of emerald water and floating lily pads. As the largest lake in the Balkans, it is a world class destination for birdwatching, famously home to the rare Dalmatian Pelican and over 280 other species. Exploring the lake by a traditional wooden boat (čun) allows you to glide past medieval island monasteries, abandoned stone fortresses, and charming lakeside villages like Virpazar. After a morning on the water, many visitors stop at local family-owned cellars to sample the region’s famous Vranac red wine and fresh carp.

Naples is one of the most important cities in Italy.

The profile of Naples would not be the same without Mount Vesuvius that dominates the city skyline. Versuvius is known for the violent eruption of AD 79, which became famous for the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum, and was witnessed by Pliny the Younger.
Herculaneum
The tremendous eruption of Vesuvius, in 79 AD, not only destroyed Pompeii but also the ancient city of Herculaneum. The archaeological excavations of this city can be visited today and, since 1997, are part of the UNESCO World Heritage List.
San Gennaro Catacombs
The Catacombs of San Gennaro are the most important Christian monument in Naples. The remains of San Gennaro, the main patron saint of the city, have been held here since the 5th century. The labyrinth of corridors also house Christian frescos from the 2nd century AD, and mosaics from the 5th century AD.
Castel Nuovo
Castel Nuovo is a medieval and Renaissance-era castle. Most commonly known as Maschio Angioino, its construction began in the 13th century at the behest of Charles I of Anjou, after he moved the Italian capital from Palermo to Naples in around 1268.
Piazza del Plebiscito
The Piazza del Plebiscito is located in the historic center of Naples and was of considerable importance after the construction of the Royal Palace. Today Palazzo Salerno, Palazzo della Prefettura, and the Basilica of San Francesco di Paola are also located here.

Description
Today's Civitavecchia was born as an Etruscan village along the Tyrrhenian coast, but it is believed that the territory has been inhabited since the Neolithic era. The first documents mentioning the city date back to the year 107 AD; the same as the construction of the port which ended three years later. During a stop in Civitavecchia you can visit the Taurine Baths, the Michelangelo Fort, and the Cathedral.
The Taurine Baths - a Roman archaeological site dating back to the 1st century BC - are located around 4km from the urban centre of Civitavecchia. There is a legend that says the baths came to be after a bull scraped at the ground before a fight, and in doing so uncovered a hot water spring.
Aquafelix Waterpark
Aquafelix Waterpark is ideal for a day of fun with your family and friends. It is the largest water park in central Italy, and boasts areas dedicated to both adults and children.
Forte Michelangelo
The construction of the Michelangelo Fort began in 1508 and ended in 1537. The structure of the fortress, in true Renaissance style, has the shape of a quadrilateral with a tower in each corner, and the central tower has an octagonal layout. Its creation was ordered by Pope Julius II, to defend the Port of Civitavecchia against pirates and any other hostile encounters.
Cathedrale de Civitavecchia
The Cathedral of San Francesco d'Assisi is the most important church of Civitavecchia. Dating back to the 17th century and completely restored in 1950, it has a Baroque style and stands on the remains of a previous Franciscan church.
