Cruise Europe

“If any particular region of the world is best suited for cruising, it’s Europe. Whether you want to tour the Mediterranean or Northern Europe, cruising is the mode of transportation that provides the greatest exposure to destinations while eliminating logistical challenges.” – The Avid Cruiser’s  Ralph Grizzle

When you think of “Europe” where, exactly, does your mind go? Italy, Greece and the med? Spain and Portugal? British Isles? France, Switzerland, Benelux? Eastern Europe? Where is YOUR Europe? – thanks to @ShipsandTrips for posting this on Facebook.

@CruiseStockholm @ShipsandTrips @CrusieLineFans and I are ready to cruise Europe. We are on the hunt for a roundup of hot trends in Europe: best port, easiest airport, getting around, where to stay and what to do.  Sail with us May 3, 2011 at 2pm EST on Twitter.
