Has anyone taken a Cruise around Italy, and if so who was the trip through and how good was it...?

Question

My family is looking to take a cruise around Italy. I would like to see Venice and Rome especially but we are looking for a 10-15 day trip.

If anyone has any information on Cruise liners, or travel agents who are good please let me know.

Thank you in advance.

Cheers

Answer 1

grand mediterranean itinerary i would go for.  also look into Princess.com, RCCI.com, hollandamerica.com.

Answer 2

We just got back from an amazing 12 day Cruise out of Rome with Carnival on the Freedom.  My 13 and 10 year old loved it.  By flying into Rome, you can do it on your own like we did for a couple of days before the cruise.  Cruises that stop in Rome for a day don't give you nearly enough time since it's over an hour to get to and from the port minimum.  The Grand Mediterranean is the best itinerary for you through Carnival- you cruise into Venice one day - stay all day and overnight and cruise out the next afternoon - over 25 hours to explore & come and go from the boat as you please.

WE LOVED IT!  BOOK EARLY!!  July 2007 was sold out ages before the cruise because it's popular with families!
