Best port you’ve sailed to, and why?

I just loved Ajaccio, Corsica. It is perfect if you enjoy exploring the old town and the remnants of what was originally a 12th century colony. This seaside city is surrounded by mountains and pretty beaches, numerous restaurants and cafes serving fresh local food.

Nothing beats a good market and this one is certainly attractive. I had a great time enjoying the many Corsican specialities and soaking up the sun!  It is a picturesque port where sailboats and fishing vessels dock. 

Top Cruise Tips

Don’t feel obligated to go to the Main Dining Room for your meals – this is your holiday!  Room service breakfast is a nice way to start off your day especially if you have a balcony.

What you couldn’t travel without in your suitcase?

Definitely my phone charger!  I know I am always able to keep in contact with home, take photos, and make memories.
