šŸŒ A World Cruise Story

Cadiz, Spain

Ed and Sarah wandered through the old alleys of CƔdiz, marveling at the sea breeze that had shaped this port city since Phoenician times.

ā€œFounded over 3,000 years ago, CĆ”diz is often considered the oldest continuously inhabited city in Western Europe.ā€

Rome Sweet Rome ā€“ Civitavecchia

Arriving via Civitavecchia, they took a train to the Eternal City. Sarah tossed a coin in the Trevi Fountain, while Ed devoured gelato in the shadow of the Colosseum.

ā€œRome wasnā€™t built in a day, but its legacy spans millennia ā€” from Caesar to Michelangelo.ā€

Amalfi Coast, Italy

They drove the coastal curves of Amalfi, where lemon groves met cliffside villages. The romance of Italy bloomed at every vista.

ā€œA UNESCO World Heritage site, the Amalfi Coast is famed for its dramatic beauty and colorful cliffside towns.ā€

Dubai

They marveled at Dubaiā€™s vertical ambition, with Ed joking the Burj Khalifa could be seen from space. Sarah called it ā€˜science fiction with shopping malls.ā€™

ā€œOnce a pearl-diving village, Dubai is now home to the worldā€™s tallest building and largest shopping mall.ā€
"You haven't really cruised until you've crossed the world on the last and ONLY Ocean liner, the QM 2." ā€“ Ed
