I've had folks inquire on our cruise around Europe and wanted to gauge interest on it for future trips in 2026 and 2027.

With enough interest I am tentatively planning mid June or mid July both years as potential landing spots but dates are flexible based upon interest and preferences.

The cruise itself would be 7 to 10 days with a couple of days of the front and back end if you want it. It will most likely depart from somewhere in Italy or Spain and capture a handful of stops in Italy, Croatia, Spain, France, Greece, and others depending on the dates.

At this point I'm just looking for solid interest to form a group of folks that would like to pursue it. For a family of 2 plan for 5-8k for the trip which will include cruise, airfare, food, drinks, some excursions, wifi, and other perks. That price fluctuates from 5-8k depending on the type of cabin that you prefer. Additionally, as incentives hit, I can re-price the trip to save you money. Keep in mind there are additional costs OFF the ship that you will pay for as you go. These costs are based on the activities you want to experience.

A $250 deposit secures the trip and you can pay on the trip at your pace.

Most importantly, I can guide you through the whole process and make this highly complex trip easy for you. I can be as hands on or hands off as you need. I can arrange excursions, transportation and events or you can go it alone. Either way, you pay me nothing and we have a blast taking in some of the world's most beautiful sights. Give me a shout if you want to chat about the trip.

We recently embarked on a 15-day group journey visiting all of the locations listed below. This breathtaking trip was the culmination of 18 months' worth of planning. The locations, sights, tastes, and experiences were breath taking.

The cruise itself was 11 days. Travel on the front and back end was 4 days depending on flights and customized itineraries for some.

You might think......this was a very expensive trip, and it broke the bank to take all of this in. In fact, over an 18–24-month period the trip ended up being very affordable and comparable to many trips that we take on an annual basis to vacation spots here in the US, Carribean, or Mexico.

For an Interior Cabin, Flights, Meals, Entertainment, Unlimited Beverages, Internet, Trip Protection this vacation averaged $6,800 total for 2 people.

For a Balcony Cabin, Flights, Meals, Entertainment, Unlimited Beverages, Internet, Trip Protection this vacation averaged $10,500 total for 2 people.

For a Balcony Cabin, Meals, Entertainment, Unlimited Beverages, Internet, Trip Protection this vacation averaged $7,100 total for 2 people. Many travelers choose to book their own flights and control their own travel times allowing for increased flexibility.

Incidental expenses averaged roughly $2200 per couple. These expenses were items such as lodging on the front and back end of the trip, transportation, meals off the ship, additional excursions/entry tickets at some locations. These were not included in the prices above and were items that were paid for on-site and out of pocket as the event occurred.

The security deposit to take this trip was $250 per couple and most travelers paid on the trip over that 18-month window. As rates decreased over that period, I was able to adjust to cheaper rates and additional incentives as they became available.

For the prices above, everyone had the opportunity to experience the trip of a lifetime, taking in the sites listed below and more........

Barcelona, Spain (Spent 2 Days)
Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Cannes, France (We visited Monaco, Monte Carlo)
Livorno, Italy (We visited Florence and Pisa, Italy)
Civitavecchia, Italy (We visited Rome, Italy)
Naples, Italy
Messina, Italy (We visited Mt Etna and Sicily)
Valetta, Malta
Corfu, Greece
Dubrovnik, Croatia
Split, Croatia
Trieste, Italy (Ended our Cruise)
Venice, Italy (Spent 2 Days)

Today, I started plotting the next version of this European trip. If you are interested in being a part of it, please reach out to me early. I provide personalized service that you won't have access to by booking through the cruise line with some random agent or by trying to do it on your own. At no point will you pay me a single cent that goes in my pocket. The cruise line and vendors pay me, not you. Look for more information to start coming out soon regarding our next trip.

Shoot me an email, DM or text message to find out more.

My Army War College friend and classmate Pantelis Kogkas from Greece inspired me to visit his country for our trip. Our day in Corfu, Greece was just as spectacular as he described. What a beautiful country and people!

Let me show you how to take this trip or one like it and not break the budget! [email protected]

Split, Croatia! The biggest surprise of the entire trip for me. Absolutely stunning, picturesque and clean. It offered so much to do for our group but we chartered a vessel for the day allowing us to enjoy more of this beautiful country.

If you want to take one of these adventures, shoot me a message and we can look at options! [email protected].
