A year ago today, we boarded the Norwegian Cruise Line Viva for what would become one of my favorite trips we’ve ever taken.
It was our first cruise without our kids, our third wedding anniversary, and my husband’s 40th birthday celebration all rolled into one.
As a travel advisor, I spend a lot of time helping other people plan unforgettable vacations, but this was one of those trips that reminded me why I fell in love with travel in the first place.
We sailed from Athens through the Greek Islands, Turkey, and Egypt, spent our days exploring incredible places, and our evenings enjoying the simple luxury of having nowhere to be except together.
Looking back, I don’t just remember the ports or the ship. I remember the freedom, the excitement of trying something new, and how good it felt to reconnect as a couple.
Still one of the best trips we’ve ever taken! If you’re interested in booking a cruise, contact me, it doesn’t cost you anything ☺️
