A luxury cruise is a truly enriching experience. Not only do you visit new places and experience new cultures, you also make new friends. If you love traveling to new destinations in comfort and luxury, a luxury cruise is the best option.

Visiting New Places

Cruise tours generally cover various ports of call in different countries. So you might find tours covering the Mediterranean Region, Northern Europe and Scandinavia, Alaska, South Pacific, countries like Australia and New Zealand, Asia, Africa, South America or the Caribbean. Planning a vacation involving a luxury cruise is extremely easy – there are plenty of luxury cruise operators listed on the internet. Check out various websites offering luxury cruises and select a cruise tour that covers the places you want to see and one that is within your budget.

Luxury Cruise Itinerary

The itinerary depends on the duration of the luxury cruise. At each of the ports that the cruise docks, land based excursions are scheduled. The sightseeing excursions scheduled for the day are usually during the morning so that the passengers can return to the cruise liner in time for lunch. A second sightseeing excursion may be scheduled during the afternoon in which case they get back late afternoon or in time for dinner.

Some folks might like to explore the place on their own. If you’d like to visit places of interest at the port of call on your own, a good idea is to book an excursion to the shore through the luxury cruise operator. Or, you could even hire a car to take you around the city although you must make sure to return to the ship in time or the cruise liner might depart without you.

A majority of luxury cruise tours combine a cruise on board a luxury liner along with a land excursion. The shore excursions include travel by luxury coaches to a luxury hotel accommodation in the town or city where the cruise liner has docked. You might be transported to the local tourist attractions by train or by luxury coaches. Also, an professional tour guide will be at your service for the land section of your vacation.     The duration of such combo cruise packages is longer – they generally last for ten days, or a couple of weeks or more.

A luxury cruise is the ultimate holiday where you experience both worlds –you can enjoy a relaxing cruise on the high seas while also enjoying exotic tourist destinations on land.

Italians have long had a history of consuming and producing their fair share of fine wines. From the luxurious bottles of Brunello di Montelcino to the inexpensive bottles of Chianti, the Italian  region of Tuscany  produces several predominantly red wines that are ever so pleasing to the palette. Tuscany is Italy’s third most planted region and yields primarily the Sangiovese grapes, with red wine accounting for over 80% of its wine production. Most of the production comes from the Chianti region that produces over 8 million cases of wine per year , while the Brunello di Montelcino region with its richer and more intense wines produces only about 333,000 cases annually. The quality standards of all Italian wines are controlled and classified by the government. A  DOCG classification  (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) is the highest standard guaranteeing the origin and blend, while DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) is a less restrictive...
