Our Favorite Spots by Cruise Port
- Santorini, Greece—Famous cliff‑side villages, breathtaking caldera views, and vibrant sunsets.
- Jeddah, Saudi Arabia—Historic coral‑stone architecture, the Red Sea Corniche, and thriving art districts.
- Amman & Petra, Jordan—Ancient ruins carved in rose‑red sandstone and the dramatic desert landscapes of Wadi Rum.
- Cairo, Egypt—The Great Pyramids of Giza and Sphinx mysteries. Standing at the foot of the Great Pyramids, we could barely believe their scale.
Favorite Places We’ve Been To
- Edinburgh, Scotland—The people were so nice and welcoming, and I (Amanda) found it so easy to be gluten‑free here.
- Florence, Italy—Around every corner there was art: Michelangelo’s David peering down at us, then a riverside gelato cart tempting us with pistachio dreams.
- Barcelona, Spain—We spent mornings marveling at Gaudí’s wavy facades and evenings hopping tapas bars, and admiring the beautiful Mediterranean beaches.
- Seville, Spain—Flamenco rhythms in atmospheric plazas, Moorish palaces, and shaded orange‑tree courtyards.
