CLASSIC a 30


CRUISE CALLS Jane Archer rounds up some of the


best-loved ports we’re longing to get back to


bsence makes the heart grow fonder, or so they say, and it’s certainly the case when it comes to travel. Never again will we take for granted the chance to dust off


our passports and pack up our suitcases ready to see the world – whether going somewhere we’ve never been before or revisiting a favourite destination. In fact, Abta’s latest Holiday Habits research found a 13% drop in the number of people intending to go somewhere new on their next trip, preferring to stick to the places they know and love. With that in mind, we’ve rounded up some classic ports of call that are never far from every cruiser’s heart.

1 The Eternal City


Cities don’t get much more classical than Rome, dubbed the Eternal City by the Caesars because they believed it would live forever. It wasn’t built in a day, as the saying goes, but cruisers generally only have a few hours to see the sights so tours with Oceania Cruises tick off the Colosseum, the Forum, the domed Pantheon, the Vatican treasures, the majestic Piazza Navona and Trevi Fountain. Throwing a coin in the water ensures visitors will be back another time so they can see more then. For something less hectic, suggest a tasting tour and culinary treasure hunt


around markets to sample the city’s best espresso, pizza and gelato. Book it: From £2,389 including flights for the 12-day Iberia to Italia


voyage from Lisbon to Venice, departing October 4. oceaniacruises.com
