It was wonderful to be able to see ports that are not usually visited by cruise ships. Who knew that Alicante, Spain even existed, let alone that it is one of the major cities of Spain. Equal thoughts for Porto and Portofioro Thanks to a smallish ship we could visit these ports, let alone Portland,UK where we got a gun salute from the Royal Navy when we left the naval port. Wonderful what happens on a smaller ship.

However, the ship was not in fine shape (visible rust) and the food became boring.
