So where is the best cruise destination in the world? Well according to travel publisher Frommers, they would have you believe that it is Tromso in Norway:
“Northern Norway is a winter, fall, summer and spring wonderland, and nowhere is better for experiencing the Call of the Wild than pulling into port in the North’s coastal capital,”
I think this question posed, like many others is very subjective. For instance I love the sunshine and like to relax on the beach where as my mother is not a sun worshiper and would far prefer to see this sites. I also think to be qualified to judge the best cruise destination in the world you need to have been to them all, otherwise how can you judge fairly.
Then of course you have to consider what the port offers, take for instance Rome/ Civitavecchia. Visiting Rome is such a great trip, but the 1 and a half hour transfer from the port is not so great.
So I have given it some thought and from my cruising experience it is hard for me to pick a favourite overall, but maybe a favourite by continent (the ones I have been too):
Europe: Barcelona
Australasia: Sydney
America: New York
Asia: Singapore
Why are these ports my favourites? Well for one I loved each and every destination, but most of all the convenience of visiting sites from getting off the ship was my draw.
So what are your thoughts, do you have a favourite port and if so why?
