We did two cruises in 2007

The first was on Galaxy again – 10 days eastern Mediterranean, 22 June to 2 July. Entitled ‘Best of The Mediterranean’ like last year, it was actually a rather different cruise. Th previous year’s feaured 6 ports, in both the east & west Mediterranean: Naples, Mykonos, Santorini, Messina, Cannes and Livorno (and three days at sea); this years had 7 ports of call, more biased to the eastern Med: Messina, Athens, Mykonos, Kusadasi, Rhodes, Santorini, Naples. And of course just 2 days at sea. At that time I wasn’t a fan of too many sea days; more recently (October 2008) I’ve come to enjoy them more. Here’s a link to a summary page about that cruise.

The second was a short cruise around part of the British Isles on Fred Olsen’s Braemar. Basically it was a repositoning cruise, to move Braemar back from Newcastle (NE England) from where she was doing late-summer cruises to Norway & the Baltic, to Southampton, for a couple of early autumn cruises to the Med and the Canaries. The cruise was on September 20th, for 4 nights, with two ports of call: Honfleur in Normandy, and St Peter Port in Guernsey. Here’s a link to a summary page for that one.
